Answer:

A) Account for over two-thirds of total spending.

Explanation:

In the US, consumption represents around 70% of the gross domestic product. It is by far the most important component of the GDP. It includes all the final goods and services purchased by private households.

Services represent 60% of personal consumption ,e.g. banking, health care, education, etc. The remaining 40% is divided between durable goods (cars, furniture, etc.) and non-durable goods (clothing, food, gas, etc.).

For each of the following scenarios, identify the number of firms present, the type of product, and the appropriate market model
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Number of Firms - many

Type of Product - differentiated

Market Model - monopolistic competition

Number of Firms - many  

Type of Product - standardised  

Market Model - perfect competition

Number of Firms - few  

Type of Product - standardised  

Market Model - oligopoly

Number of Firms - one

Type of Product - unique

Market Model - monopoly

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.   In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by:

  • price setting firms  
  • profit maximisation
  • high barriers to entry or exit of firms
  • downward sloping demand curve

Country x would have an absolute advantage over country y in the production of automobiles under what conditions?
Paul [167]
Under the condition that country X can manufacture cars more cheaply. An absolute advantage devours in a country if it makes good over alternative country and uses a smaller amount of wealth to yield that good. The result of a country’s natural legacy is the absolute advantage. Another example is extracting oil in Saudi Arabia is pretty much just a matter of drilling a hole. Generating oil in other countries can is essential substantial exploration and costly technologies for drilling and extraction if certainly they have any oil at all. The United States devours about the richest farmland in the world which manufacture it at ease to grow corn and wheat than in many other countries. Guatemala and Colombia partake environment particularly suitable for growing coffee. Chile and Zambia have about of the world’s richest copper mines. As some have claimed that geography is destiny. Chile will bargain copper and Guatemala will harvest coffee and they will trade. When each country has a product others necessity and it can be manufactured with fewer resources in one country over another then it is easy to visualize all parties do good from trade. Thinking about trade just in relations of geography and absolute advantage is incomplete. Trade actually happens because of comparative advantage.
