Answer:
The statement is false. The largest component of GDP is private consumption, or simply: consumption.
Explanation:
Consumption includes all purchases of goods and services made by individuals and households except for the purchase of new houses (these are considered investments).
In the U.S., consumption accounts for around 70% of GDP. This is why some economists say that the U.S. is a consumer-based economy.
Answer: Option A
Explanation: The given case relates to the problem of dissolution of partnership and not the dissolution of firm.
In case of dissolution of partnership only the existing agreement among the partners ceases to exist due to leaving or joining of new partners and a new agreement takes place among the existing partners.
In such a case, the account balance of the partner remains same. It changes in case of dissolution of firm.
Hence the correct option is A.
Lets talk about all the terms. First of all, zero-sum game theory and rational choice theory are mathematical theories that are used to analyze financial phenomena. The first one is against this view and the second one is a general framework that does not say what its stance is; it is certainly not the basic message of rational choice theory. The mercantilist theory is a theory that favors trade restrictions, so this is not the right choice. THe theory of absolute and comparative advantage are related; the first one says that only a country can make a product in a good way, while the second theory claims that eeach country should specialize in what it is best at producing. The comparative advantage theory makes the case that if there are many goods, one should not need to bother to produce those which he is bad at producing; he should produce a surplus of his specialty and then trade with others (and their specialty products). Thus, comparative advantage is the correct choice.
Answer: This is the type of cost known as Sunk.
- sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. Sunk costs are contrasted with prospective costs, which are future costs that may be avoided if action is taken.
- A sunk cost refers to money that has already been spent and which cannot be recovered. ... Sunk costs are excluded from future business decisions because the cost will remain the same regardless of the outcome of a decision.
- The sunk cost effect is manifested in a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, effort, or time has been made. Evidence that the psychological justification for this behavior is predicated on the desire not to appear wasteful is presented.
I believe that Amazon became successful as a business model by in some ways mimicking Sears model. At first Amazon only sold books and once they had mastered that successfully they were able to put many independent book stores out of business and then focused their energies on every other non perishable item that people needed. They took on toys clothing, food items etc. Sears did this by providing items out of their catalog. Amazon does this from their online app. people create their accounts and can search from their phones and have things sent directly to their homes. The advancement of Amazon can be directly related to the demise of shopping malls.
