Answer:
(Decrease, Increase)
Explanation:
When the government formulates and implements policies aimed at increasing equality, the society will experience a reduction in the level of efficiency. For example, an increase in income tax on wealthiest Americans, and redistribution of the tax revenue to the poorest Americans would may discourage the wealthy from taking more income-generating activities which create jobs, this is not optimal. At the same time, this policy would reduces the peoples’ incentive to work hard to earn their own money.
Answer: Production and consumption occur simultaneously
Explanation:
Services are intangible quantities that possess value and can be traded, services cannot be stored therefore it most times is produced and consumed at the same time.
Answer:
A. Selection of the appropriate causal variable Y is important
Explanation:
We have this function, Y = f(X).
From this function we can see that Y is dependent on X. That is, it is a function of X. Y is not a causal variable. A causal variable is a variable that is able to influence the variable of interest. From this question Y is the variable of interest. It is the dependent variable. The independent variable is X and it is the causal variable.
Therefore the incorrect one is Selection of the appropriate causal variable Y is important
Answer:
b
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
Factors that cause the PPF to shift
1. changes in technology.
2. changes in available resources.
3. changes in the labour force.
a linear PPC means that there is a constant opportunity cost. Linear PPC are rear
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
For example, England produces 10 yards of clothes and 5 kg of cheese. France produces 5 yards of clothes and 10 kg of cheese.
for England,
opportunity cost of producing clothes = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing cheese = 10/5 = 2
for France,
opportunity cost of producing cheese = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing clothes = 10/5 = 2
England has a comparative advantage in the production of clothes and France has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese
