Answer:

Suppose there is an individual who needs a certain level of income, I°, in order to stay alive.  An increase in income above that level of income I° will have a diminishing marginal utility.  Below I°, the individual will be a risk lover and will take unfair gambles and risks in an effort to make large gains in income. Above I°, the individual will purchase insurance against losses.

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

B) Favourable Variances occur whenever actual prices or actual usage of inputs are greater than standard prices or standard usage.

Explanation:

Variances refer to the difference between actual and standard or budgeted costs. Standard cost is also referred to as budgeted cost. Budgeted costinh can be used by a food nutritionist to determine the food quantity he can cook as well as the ingredient amount which consists of the budgeted costs and the actual cost of preparing the food. Budgeted costchas a major advantage which is its ability to determine the pricing policy even before the product or service is delivered. When favourable or unfavourable variances are mentioned, it refers to the greater of budgeted or actual price or quantity. Favourable goes with a greater actual price or quantity while unfavorable or adverse goes with a greater standard price or quantity.

Which of the following survey response methods is the most difficult for researchers to code for evaluation:
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

No options are given, but the most commonly used survey response methods are:

  1. Multiple choice questions = generally easy to code
  2. Rating scale questions = also easy to code, since response scales have a finite number of choices, e.g. 2 true/false, 3 agree/disagree/undecided, 5 very bad/bad/fair/good/excellent
  3. Matrix questions. = are a little bit more complex since they involve several rating scale questions, but it is not something difficult either
  4. Dropdown questions. = similar to multiple choice questions
  5. Open-ended questions. = this are hard to code since each subject can respond different things, e.g. the thing that I like the most about this project is bla, bla, bla. There are no pre-set answers given to the subjects. THIS TYPE IS THE MOST DIFFICULT TO CODE.
  6. Demographic questions = similar to multiple choice
  7. Ranking questions = similar to scaled questions

Why is inflation both good and bad how does the government try to control it?
Kaylis [27]
<span>Inflation is good because it keeps the economy growing as wages increase and demand for goods goes up, but if inflation gets high then the economy can become overheated when prices go up too fast and people can't afford goods. The Federal Reserve Bank, if you're in the USA, will then raise interest rates to make loans more expensive and rewarding people for not spending money, which slows down the economy back to a healthy state.</span>

There are some 200 economic integration agreements around the world today, far more than a few years ago.NAFTA, EU, Asean etc. V
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Economic integration agreement is when countries within a particular geographical area decide to remove or relax tariff or non-tariff barriers to trade between themselves and also to coordinate and harmonize their fiscal and economic policies. Free trade area is the simplest form of an economic integration; it is when governments of member countries agree to remove trade restriction between each other and when member countries are given the freedom to determine their own external trade policies towards non-members.  

Supporters of free trade area argue that it is beneficial to the country based on the trade creation argument. Trade creation is where high-cost domestic production is replaced by more efficiently produced imports from within the group; that is, more expensive domestic products are replaced by lower priced imports from countries within the group. The trade creation argument is hinged on the fact that a free trade area ensures that trade is generated over and above what would otherwise have happened if there was no integration. Further, the removal of tariffs allows members to specialize in those products for which they have a comparative advantage leading to a variety of cheap imports for domestic consumers, thereby increasing living standards or welfare gains. Trade creation also creates an incentive for high cost domestic producers to cut cost so as to remain competitive thereby enhancing efficiency.

On the other hand, a free trade area is criticized on the basis of trade diversion. This is where trade with a low-cost country outside the group is influenced by higher–cost products supplied from within the group; this results in a less efficient allocation of resources as trade from outside the group is replaced by trade from within the group. Trade diversion could mean that local consumers would have to buy products at less competitive prices. Another argument would be that a free trade area would lead to a removal of tariff between member countries thereby resulting in a cessation of government revenue from tariffs. As opposed to a free trade area,  free trade would increase world output and employment, raise quality and lower prices of goods as firms have access to factor inputs; it will also increase world living standards or enhances welfare gains.  A free trade agreement only restricts these potential advantages to a particular geographical space.
