Answer:

Letter e is correct.<u> All of the above except (b).</u>

Explanation:

A service is a set of activities whose objective is to satisfy some human need without the presence of a material good.

Service providers constitute the tertiary sector in economics, so there is a need for the development and improvement of service techniques so that the sector meets the demands of customers.

Some characteristics that define a service are:

Intangibility: Services are intangible processes and ideas, so the consumer is influenced by the reputation of a company, brand or service for the ideal choice.

Heterogeneity: The service varies from customer to customer. It is not possible to offer exactly the same service every time, often due to outsourcing in companies.

Simultaneity: Services are consumed at the same time they are created.

Customer participation in the process: There is an integration between the customer and the service provider, so there are opportunities for service production with customer participation.

Perishability: Services cannot be stored, if they are not consumed it is lost.

Suppose labor's share of output is 60% and capital's share of output is 40%. If labor grows at a rate of 5%, then this will caus

12345 [234]

If capital grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of 1%.

Given,

Labor's share of output = 60%

Capital's share of output = 40%

Labor grows on a rate of = 5%

Capital grows on a rate of = 5%

Thus, output will grow at a rate of = ?

SR(t) = Δy/Δt/Y - (αΔk/Δt/k(t) + (1-α)(ΔL/Δt/L(t))

Here, α = 60%

So, labor's share = (1 - 0.6) × 5 = 2%

Capitals contribution = 0.4 × 5 = 2%

Implied rate of growth in technology is also given,

SR = (5) - (2+2)

= 1%

Hence, if capital grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of 1%.

2. In second scenario, businesses are prosecuted for contaminating river water, rises in manufacturing prices and vendors will be able to produce worse at the same amount. The output curve then shifts for its left.

3. In third case the output curve will remain the same. That's since the quantities given does not change.

4. In this situation, the harm done by drilling must be cleaned up by the businesses. Hence, production cost rises, and vendors will be willing to provide worse at the provided price. The supply curves then shifts to the left.
