A student is asked to write a critique of this excerpt from utopia. if these metals were laid up in any tower in the kingdom it

would raise a jealousy of the prince and senate, and give birth to that foolish mistrust into which the people are apt to fall—a jealousy of their intending to sacrifice the interest of the public to their own private advantage. if they should work it into vessels, or any sort of plate, they fear that the people might grow too fond of it, and so be unwilling to let the plate be run down, if a war made it necessary, to employ it in paying their soldiers. to prevent all these inconveniences they have fallen upon an expedient which, as it agrees with their other policy, so is it very different from ours, and will scarce gain belief among us who value gold so much, and lay it up so carefully. they eat and drink out of vessels of earth or glass, which make an agreeable appearance, though formed of brittle materials; while they make their chamber-pots and close-stools of gold and silver, and that not only in their public halls but in their private houses. of the same metals they likewise make chains and fetters for their slaves, to some of which, as a badge of infamy, they hang an earring of gold, and make others wear a chain or a coronet of the same metal; and thus they take care by all possible means to render gold and silver of no esteem . . . which is a critique of the excerpt?

One appropriate critique for this excerpt is that <span>The effects of slavery are much worse than the effects of materialism.
The negative effect of slavery was the continuation of opression and discrimination that experienced by the descendants of the slave over ling period of time. Materialism on the other hand could only cause either abundance of goods, or bankruptcy</span>

You are planning a graduation trip to Mexico. Other things the same, if the dollar appreciates relative to the peso, then
galben [10]

Hello there!

Answer:

Your answer is C). the dollar buys more pesos. Your hotel room in Mexico will require fewer dollars

Explanation:

The reason why answer choice "C" would be the correct answer is because American currency, USD, would get you a lot of pesos.

Lets give you the exact amount of exchange rate:

1 USD (U.S DOLLAR) = 18.98 PESO

You can see how much 1 U.S dollar could get you in the Mexican currency.

What this means is that the U.S dollar buys more pesos, in which is correct in answer choice "C" Since you could buy more pesos with the U.S dollar, you would only need to use fewer dollars because the exchange rate is so high. The U.S dollar would get you more money in Mexico. This is the reason why answer choice "C" would be correct.

GREYUIT [131]

Oligopolies exist because of barriers to entry. One of the most important barriers to entry is due to economies of scale when it exists, the industry is more likely to be an oligopoly than a competitive one.

A market structure known as an oligopoly occurs when a few large sellers or manufacturers control a sizable portion of a market or an entire sector. Oligopolies are frequently the outcome of corporate collaboration as a way to increase profits. Because of the decreased competition, customers will pay more and workers will earn less.

In an oligopoly, there must be some entry barriers to allow businesses to capture a sizable portion of the market. These obstacles could be economies of scale or brand loyalty. Entry barriers, however, are lower than monopolies.

Several oligopoly-enabling circumstances have been noted. First off, there aren't many big companies in an oligopolistic market. This feature sets oligopoly apart from monopoly, in which there is only one entity.

To learn more about oligopoly refer to:

Port Allen Chemical Company processes raw material D into joint products E and F. Raw material D costs $4 per liter. It costs $1
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a) Product G should be produced and sold

b) Net financial advantage      $80

Explanation:

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  </em>

                                                                                            $

Revenue after split-off point  

($9×  40 litres)                                                                 360

Revenue at the slit of point  

($4 ×   40)                                                                        <u> (160)</u>

Additional income from further processing                  200

Further processing cost ($3× 40)                                  <u>(120)</u>

Incremental income from further processing                <u> 80</u>

Incremental income from further processing = $80

a) The product F should be processed further and sold as product G. Doing so would increase the net income by $80.

b) Net advantage                                               $80

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

... whereas the fish in the private pond are <u>rival in consumption</u> and excludable.  

... the fish in the river are an example of <u>common resource</u>, and the fish in the private pond are an example of <u>private good.</u>

<em>* the first sentence is wrong, the fish in the river are nonexcludable since anyone can fish on the river, or at least try to.</em>

Explanation:

If a good is rival in consumption, it means that if one person consumes it, it will lower the ability of another person to consume the good.

If a good is excludable, ten it can only be consumed by those that are willing and able to pay for it.

When a good is both nonexcludable and rival in consumption, it s a common resource.

A private good is both rival in consumption and excludable
