Answer:
1. False 2. True
Explanation:
1. The candidate for political office announcing that the policy to reduce immigration from abroad which, he says, economics clearly demonstrates will lead to higher output in the long run; is false.
What increases output are the factors of production of which labor is a major component. When there are more people willing and able to work in an economy, <u>they help companies to produce more output but that is not the case when immigration is reduced, obviously that would reduce productivity and output.</u>

2. However his second claim is right, that making trade more open between the US and other countries will increase output on the long run.
Trade barriers like tariffs and duties impede the level of trade between countries which could either reduce the amount of money countries make after netting off custom duties or the price of imported goods are increased by the effect of tariffs. Increased price means reduced demand
<u>Hence if tariffs are replaced with subsidies in open trade, prices of U.S imported goods will fall and demand will increase.</u>

Answer:
Option (d) 7 times
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Net income = $250,000
Dividends paid to common stockholders = $50,000
Common stock outstanding = 50,000
Selling price of the common stocks = $35
Now,
The price-earnings ratio is calculated as:
⇒ ( Stock price ) ÷ ( Earnings per share )
also,
Earnings per share = ( Net income ) ÷ ( common stock outstanding )
= $250,000 ÷ 50,000
= $5
or
Price-earnings ratio = $35 ÷ $5
or
Price-earnings ratio = 7 times
Option (d) 7 times
