Why is the supply curve a vertical line

Business
1 answer:
AlladinOne [14]3 years ago
5 0
In some cases, supply curves are vertical, which means that for any price from 0 up to infinity, the quantity will stay the same.

This is very true for supply of an authentic painting in auctions, where there may only be 1 single painting, and people state the highest price they are willing to pay for the painting. Regardless of the price, there will only be 1 authentic painting for that price.

Hope this helps! :)

Which one of the following does not describe balance of​ trade? a. Balance of trade is the largest item in the current account.
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

c. Balance of trade is equal to the sum of current account balance and financial account balance.

Explanation:

The balance of trade is the difference in value between a country's imports and its exports over time. Balance of trade ( BOT) is expressed in monetary terms. If a country has more exports than imports, it has a positive trade balance or a trade surplus. Balance of trade is also known as international trade balance or trade balance.

Economists use the balance of trade in determining the country's current account. A trade deficit or trade surplus on its own does not mean that the economy is weak or strong in that period. The balance of trade is obtained by subtracting net imports from net exports.
