Legislators may provide for special projects within their districts. This is called Pork Barrel Politics.

The legislator's practice of slipping funding for a local project into a budget is called Pork-barrel politics. The project may have nothing to do with the bill and may benefit only the legislator's home district. Before a bill gets to a vote, pork-barreling has often greatly inflated its costs through the addition of various legislators' pet projects. In modern politics, pork-barreling and earmarking are synonymous. Fairly speaking, one politician's pork-barrel politics is another's constituent service. The annual Congressional Pig Book documenting pork-barrel projects in the federal budget is published by a nonprofit organization called Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW).

Big Panda (BP) and Little Panda (LP) live on a deserted island in the South Pacific. Their food is the warifruit which grows onl

MAXImum [283]

Answer & Explanation:

a. The game tree for this sequential-move game is as follows:

"The image is attached below"

Therefore, if Big Panda climbs the tree the cost for him will be 2kilocalories, thus his payoff will reduce by 2Kc.

Similarly, if Little Panda climbs the tree there will be cost of 0Kc for climbing the tree.

b. When the rollback equilibrium is used, then Little panda will choose not to climb the tree corresponding to Big Panda's strategy for climbing the tree.

That is the payoff will be as:

If BP climbs the tree the payoff cost will be 4Kc, 4Kc

If BP don't climbs the tree the payoff cost will be 9Kc, 1Kc

In this case Big panda will chosoe not to climb the tree.

Therefore the rollback equilibrium will be equal to 9Kc, and 1Kc.

When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created whe

zvonat [6]

Answer:

ii) in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.

Explanation:

In a fractional-reserve banking system, banks only keep a fraction of total deposits on hand. They will usually only keep the amount required by the Fed, which is called the required reserve ratio. Banks will lend the rest of the money to customers, since they make money by borrowing from customers and lending it at higher rates.

E.g. you deposit $1,000 in the bank. The bank is required to keep 10% in reserves, but lends $900 to another client. That client will spend the money and purchase something. The seller of that good or service then deposits the money into his/her bank. That second bank will then separate $90 as reserves and lend $81 to a different client which will again purchase something, and the cycle goes on...

What type of targeting strategy works with uniform products for which the firm can develop a single marketing mix that satisfies

irinina [24]

Answer:

an undifferentiated targeting strategy.

Explanation:

An undifferentiated targeting strategy is a type of targeting strategy that works with uniform products for which the firm can develop a single marketing mix that satisfies the needs of all customers.

Hence, it typically occurs when a service provider, marketer, or salesperson ignores a segment of a market and focuses his or her marketing strategy on as many people as possible in a target market.

This simply means that, an undifferentiated targeting strategy ignores a segment of a market while focusing only on the entire target market. It is employed for a single marketing mix and as such, it is used for products such as bread, soft drinks, milk, gas etc.

which type of exporting has the least amount of commitment and risk but will probably return the least profit

marshall27 [118]

Answer: Indirect Exporting

Explanation:

Indirect exporting describes a scenario where an entity exports to another country through an intermediary. They essentially sell to this intermediary and this intermediary then sells to consumers in other countries.

Much like investment banks underwriting stock, this type of exporting has very little risk and commitment attached because it simply involves one selling everything to an intermediary. The company exporting has therefore absolved itself of further risk which will then be incurred by the intermediary. t

The intermediary will however buy the goods at a discount due to the risk they take on. As a result, this gives less profit.

Vandalay Industries manufactures two products: toasters and blenders. The annual production and sales of toasters is 2,200 units

zzz [600]

Answer:

$35.085

Not in options.

Explanation:

As for the provided information,

Details of Production are:

Toasters = 2,200 units

Blenders = 1,500 units

Hours required for each unit are:

Toasters = 1.25

Blenders = 1

Now, therefore, total hours of direct labor

Toasters = 2,200 $\times$ 1.25 = 2,750

Blenders = 1,500 $\times$ 1 = 1,500

Total hours = 4,250

Thus, total overheads = $149,115

Rate per hour = $149,115/4,250 = 35.085

Based on the information given the answer is $35.085, although this is not in the option.

Therefore, options provided are incorrect.
