Rent control policies tend to cause

Savatey [412]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. relatively smaller shortages in the short run than in the long run because supply and demand tend to be more inelastic in the short run than in the long run.

Explanation:

Rent control laws set limits on how much landlords can charge rent. The rent control laws specify:

What types of properties qualify for rent control.
How often rent limits can be adjusted.
How rent limits can be adjusted. Most rent control laws link increases in rental limits to an annual percentage of inflation in a local consumer price index.
The conditions when a property is "out of control."
Restrictions on the eviction of the tenant with rent control.

There are no federal rent control laws since the US Supreme Court. UU. He ruled that rent regulation is a state issue. Most states do not have rent control laws regulated. Only some cities and communities in some states continue to apply them.

In the United States, rent control laws were adopted during World War II when the country was experiencing a housing shortage. President Richard Nixon then passed the wage and price laws that influenced the modern rent control laws that are still being applied today. This is why most rent control laws usually apply to older properties built before 1980.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

You own a portfolio that is 34 percent invested in Stock X, 22 percent invested in Stock Y, and 44 percent invested in Stock Z.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

13.86%

Explanation:

34% was invested into stock X with an expected return of 11%

22% was invested into stock Y with an expected return of 18%

44% was invested into stock Z with an expected return of 14%

The expected return on the portfolio can be calculated using the formula below

Expected return= Sum of ( weight of stock×return of stock)

= (0.34×11%)+(0.22×18%)+(0.44×14%)

= 3.74+3.96+6.16

= 13.86%

Hence the expected return on the portfolio is 13.86%
