Business
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Oligopoly market involves few large sized firms with some restrictions on entry.

Monopolistic market has large number of small firms with relatively easier entry and exit.

Explanation:

Oligopoly is a market structure where there are only a small number of firms in a market. These firms are dominant and control major market shares. The entry into the market is slightly difficult due to several barriers. The firms in this market may produce homogeneous or heterogeneous products.

However, in a monopolistic market there are large number of firms which are small in size. These firms produce differentiated products which are close substitutes. The entry and exit in this market is relatively easier.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Should be done: a counter cyclical or a growth-oriented  fiscal policy ,deficit spending and stabilize the aggregate demand.

Explanation:

Keynesian economy is a macroeconomic theory based on the views of the 20th century British economist John Maynard Keynes. Keynes' economy advocates a mixed economy where the private sector is predominant but the state and the public sector play a major role. According to the Keynesian theory, the sum of all the micro-economic behaviors shown by all individuals and businesses results in inefficiency and the economy operates at a level below its potential output and growth. When total demand for products is insufficient, the economy enters a crisis and unnecessary unemployment arises due to defensive behavior of the producers. In such cases, the government may pursue policies to increase aggregate demand, and as a result may accelerate economic activities and reduce unemployment. Most Keynesian propose policies to stabilize the business cycle. For example, if the unemployment level is too high, the state can pursue a growth-oriented monetary policy.

Keynes was thinking of reviving the economy with low interest and state investments as a solution to the Great Depression. The government increases investment income and consequently consumption, resulting in more production and investment, resulting in increased consumption again. The first economic stimulus investment triggers a series of events and the subsequent investment provides a much tougher economic efficiency. According to Keynes, money supply is provided by monetary authority (eg central bank) and monetary policy affects prices. When interest rates fall below this normal rate, investors avoid buying bonds and prefer to hold cash in anticipation of higher rates. When interest rates are above this normal rate, they tend to buy bonds with the expectation that they will fall. Therefore, it can be said that there is a negative relationship between money demand and interest rate.

The salary for an occupation is determined by the federal government <br> True or false?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

No the given statement is not correct.  

Explanation:

Federal Government does not determine the pay structure for any occupation. Each occupation determine its own salary structure. For example, the doctors would determine their own fee that they would charge to the patients, schools will determine their fee that they would charge from students, lawyers determine their own fee, and the examples are countless. Government sometimes only sets the minimum level of wage that must be paid to a worker. For example government can put a base at 10 dollars wage rate that has to be given to the worker working for you. So you must give the worker at least $10, but you can give him $15 or $20, as much as you like and as much as he charges you, but you can't give him less than 10 dollars

Suppose a price floor on sparkling wine is proposed by the Health Minister of the country of Vinyardia. What will be the likely
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

A. Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a shortage will result.; B. Quantity demanded will increase, quantity supplied will decrease, and a surplus will result.; C. Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result; D. Quantity demanded will increase, quantity supplied will decrease, and a shortage will result.

The correct answer is C. Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result.

Explanation:

There is a strong correlation between pricing (at prices higher than the equilibrium price) and the creation of excess supply. Following the analysis of supply and demand, if we start from an initial equilibrium situation (where the quantity demanded and supplied are equal) and the authority decides to set a much higher price, the quantity demanded of the product will decrease and, on the other hand, the quantity supplied will increase, so producers will want to sell more than consumers want to buy. The previous problem will be solved if the authority decides to lower the price of the product, since this encourages consumers to buy more and bidders to produce less.
