Scarcity refers to a state of being in short supply.

Scarcity exists because distribution of resources is unequal. Majority of the people tend to get more than they need in preparation for future uses. They did not take into consideration that other people also need the items they have stocked up on. This results to unequal distribution of resources. Those who had first access to the goods have more than they need while those who came last have goods that is not enough to sustain their needs. They are the ones experiencing scarcity.

3. Describe three new weapons used in World War I and explain how each of these w<br>​
Leto [7]

how each of these "w"?  im guessing it means work. and three weapons from then that are "new"? are:

Rifles. All nations used more than one type of firearm during the First World War. The rifles most commonly used by the major combatants were, among the Allies, the Lee-Enfield .303 (Britain and Commonwealth), Lebel and Berthier 8mm (France), Mannlicher–Carcano M1891, 6.5mm (Italy), Mosin–Nagant M1891 7.62 (Russia), and Springfield 1903 .30–06 (USA). The Central Powers employed Steyr–Mannlicher M95 (Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria), Mauser M98G 7.92mm (Germany), and Mauser M1877 7.65mm (Turkey). The American Springfield used a bolt-action design that so closely copied Mauser’s M1989 that the US Government had to pay a licensing fee to Mauser, a practice that continued until America entered the war.

Machine guns. Most machine guns of World War 1 were based on Hiram Maxim’s 1884 design. They had a sustained fire of 450–600 rounds per minute, allowing defenders to cut down attacking waves of enemy troops like a scythe cutting wheat. There was some speculation that the machine gun would completely replace the rifle. Contrary to popular belief, machine guns were not the most lethal weapon of the Great War. That dubious distinction goes to the artillery.

Flamethrowers. Reports of infantry using some sort of flame-throwing device can be found as far back as ancient China. During America’s Civil War some Southern newspapers claimed Abraham Lincoln had observed a test of such a weapon. But the first recorded use of hand-held flamethrowers in combat was on February 26, 1915, when the Germans deployed the weapon at Malancourt, near Verdun. Tanks carried on a man’s back used nitrogen pressure to spray fuel oil, which was ignited as it left the muzzle of a small, hand-directed pipe. Over the course of the war, Germany utilized 3,000 Flammenwerfer troops; over 650 flamethrower attacks were made. The British and French both developed flame-throwing weapons but did not make such extensive use of them.

there are many more, but here are 3 i found from a trustworthy source!

Cost-push inflation will reduce supply and lower real output and employment which will eventually generate an economic _____ qui
monitta

Cost-push inflation will reduce supply and lower real output and employment which will eventually generate an "economic recession".

<h3>What is economic recession?</h3>

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) describes a recession as "a large fall in economic activity distributed across the economy, lasting more than a few months."

Some characteristics of economic recession are-

  • Recessions are marked drops in economic activity that can endure for several months or even years.
  • When a country's economy faces negative gross domestic product (GDP), growing unemployment, declining retail sales, and contraction income and manufacturing metrics over an extended period of time, experts declare a recession.
  • Recessions are regarded as an inevitable component of the economic cycle, or the predictable rhythm of expansion and recession in a country's economy.
  • The organisation bases its decision on a variety of variables, such as GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and consumer spending.

Mickey and Jenny Porter file a joint tax return, and they itemize deductions. The Porters incur $2,000 in investment expenses. T
Reil [10]

Answer:

Please check the following explanation

Explanation:

Capital losses are not included in the calculation of net investment income. Therefore, $2,000 long-term capital loss would have no effect on investment income. Thus, Porters' investment income will remain $2,500.

Consequently, Porters' can deduct $2,500 of the investment interest expense and the remaining $500 of investment interest expense will be carried over to next year.

You have two options to repay a loan. You can repay $6,000 now and $5,940 in one year; or you can repay $12,000 in 6 months. Fin
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

We will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

Explanation:

The formula for Future value is:

FV=PV(1+i)^n

The present value will become:

PV=FV(1+i)^{-n}

where:

n is the number of years

Since the condition is same present value,so the given data form the equation:

6000+5940(1+i)^{-1}=12000(1+i)^{-1/2}

Divide above equation by (1+i)^{-1}

6000(1+i)+5940=12000(1+i)^{1/2}

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\. Above equation will become:

6000z^2+5940=12000z

Rearranging above equation:

5940-12000z+6000z^2=0

Solving the quadratic equation:

z=1.1,    z=0.9

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\ will become:

z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\\\z^2=1+i

i=z^2-1

For z=1.1

i=(1.1)^2-1\\i=0.21

For z=0.9

i=(0.9)^2-1\\i=-0.19

we will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%
