The price elasticity of supply for basmati rice (an aromatic strain of rice) is likely to be which of the following?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: D. Higher in the long run than the short run, because farmers cannot easily change their decisions about how much basmati rice to plant once the current crop has been planted.

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of Supply refers to how Supply changes in response to a change in price. Essentially, if the price of a good increases, will Supplier supply more or less of that good as a result and by how much will they do so.

In the short run, the farmers would have already planted the crops and so would be unable start changing the quantity that they expect from the harvest. They will therefore supply the amount they harvested regardless of a price change.

In the long run however, they can change the amount of rice planted depending on the price of the rice in the market. Price Elasticity is therefore higher in the long run than in the short run.

Internal control does not consist of policies and procedures that

Answer:

d.guarantee the company will earn a profit

Explanation:

Internal controls are controls put in place by management to mitigate against identified risk. Risk basically refers to what could go wring in a process. Controls are put in place to mitigate against the risk of error or fraud and do not necessarily prevent the company from making a loss.

Companies make profit or loss based on management's decisions such as where to invest, what time to invest, introduction of a new product, management of cost of sales and operating expenses etc

Internal controls basically consist of policies and procedures that ensure that the company's asset are not misused (fraud), no misrepresentation of revenue (fraud), employees and managers comply with laws and regulations, business information is accurate ( no misrepresentation of records due to error) etc.

Hence Internal control does not consist of policies and procedures that guarantee the company will earn a profit.

The right option is d.

You develop your labor (human capital)

Due to scarcity, choices must be made. Every choice has a opportunity cost

Everyone's goal is to make choices that maximize their satisfaction. Everyone acts in their own "self-interest"

Everyone makes decisions by comparing the marginal costs and marginal benefits of every choice.

You found it to be scarce that you were offered $3.00 dollars more than the first offer.
