How can the government promote industrial development in south africa?​
quester [9]

Answer:

<em>The growth center concept has formed the cornerstone of industrial development policy in South Africa since apartheid was introduced as a constitutional model in 1948. This paper attempts to recapture the evolutionary development of industrial policy in South Africa and to underline prominent deficiencies in present industrial development policy. South African industrial policy continues the segregation practices of the past, despite the government's repeated statements in recent years that it intends to move away from the concept of apartheid. Guidelines for a revision in industrial development thinking based on sound economic principles rather than concealed political practices are suggested for the country.</em>

Comment les marchés imparfaitement concurrentiels fonctionnent-ils?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Dans un environnement de concurrence imparfaite, les entreprises vendent différents produits et services, fixent leurs propres prix, se battent pour des parts de marché et sont souvent protégées par des barrières à l'entrée et à la sortie, ce qui rend plus difficile pour les nouvelles entreprises de les concurrencer.

A speculator purchases a put option for a premium of $4, with an exercise price of $30. The stock is presently priced at $29, an
Scrat [10]

Answer: - $3

Explanation:

We should note that the holder of a put will gain when the share price is below the exercise price.

Since the gain with regards to the question is ($30 - $29) = $1 and the premium paid is 4, then the maximum profit per unit will be:

= Gain - Premium paid

= $1 - $4

= -$3.

Suppose Jane has chosen a combination of two goods, A and B, such that MU/P of good A is 10 (MUA/PA = 10), and the MU/P of good
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

A rule for maximizing utility  is that if an individual wants to maximize total utility, for every dollar that is spent, he/she should spend it on the commodity that yields the greatest marginal utility per dollar of expenditure.

In the scenario presented above, we can see that the marginal utilities per dollar for both commodities that Jane consumes are equal, therefore she can neither increase or decrease spending on any particular commodity in order to increase or decrease its marginal utility, this is because she gets an equal amount of marginal utility from both commodities.

Therefore, with the same amount of money, Jane cannot increase utility.
