Answer: Option (A) and (B) are correct.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

In our case, the opportunity cost of purchasing Aldens is the savings that is foregone and classic, snazzy look that comes with wearing wingtips.

What was Thomas Malthus’s theory of population growth?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

A population would grow faster than its ability to feed itself.

Explanation:

Thomas Malthus' theory, in my personal beliefs, is remarkably accurate and quite rational. He argued that if one were to have a country/population left unchecked, as in without any form of administration, government, or central authority to balance it, that a population would thus outgrow its resources and thus result in overpopulation and a lack of necessities... something that may, perhaps, lead to eventual extinction.

This is fairly factual when you think of the contemporary age. The earth was previously believed to have a carrying capacity of about 2-40 billion people, an argument that eventually centered on around 7 billion. Today, the earth's maximum carrying capacity is generally percieved to be about 9 billion people. In this age, we currently are nearing 8 billion.

This. Is. An. Issue.

A plethora of earth's resources that life itself depends on is LIMITED. Our freshwater reserves are limited. The amount of animals on this planet, a source of food, is <em>also </em>limited. The amount of plants on this planet, significant sources of energy, food, oxygen, and all sorts of natural processes that keep everything alive, are, unfortunately, limited.

This demands that humans figure a way to require less of these precious resources, fast. By the year of 2150, we'll likely have surpassed our carrying capacity.

For the issue of food, there are options. The primary issue is that humans are omnivores, as in, we love both plants AND animals... in our stomach's, of course. A prime example is myself! Personally, I couldn't live without beef, but I <em>definitely </em>couldn't or wouldn't want to survive without spinach and broccoli, because they are absolutely delicious.

However, despite humans being omnivores, we stubbornly refuse to eat our veggies. . . meaning a mass majority of us prefer to eat meat. We breed our animals to have offspring, giving us more meat. We generically enhance or even create our meat. We love meat.

The issue being that meat is a terrible source of energy. Remember, energy comes from sources of life itself, like the sun! PLANTS take the mass majority of this energy in, not animals. Animals EAT the plants, to where as much as 80% of that initial energy source is lost, disappearing into nothing, and meaning only roughly 20% is absorbed into the animal upon eating the said plant. Then, and only then, HUMANS come to eat the animal, in which 80% of that initial 20% is also lost between these stages.

As you can see, humans end up with barely any amount of this vital energy, simply because we love meat. We feed the plants to the animals to keep them healthy so WE can then eat the said animals, thus resulting in a HUGE loss of energy. We use our land for pastures. We give other resources (like water) to the animals, again, so we can eventually consume them.

The earth is going to run out of resources at one point or another, but our current consumption habits will likely hasten this process as far as freshwater and food.

Ofc, it shouldn't need to be said that if we were ALL to switch to primarily plant-only consumption, we'd probably be set. Getting rid of all our pastures and replacing them with massive farms would give is a surplus of plants, which are remarkably better sources of energy and will thus be able to sustain humans much, much longer. We won't have to worry as much about starving.

Then again, you must ALSO worry about the fragility of plants. They can easily be detroyed by natural disastors and are dependant upon environmental conditions such as weather temperature, climate, and soil. These factors are very limiting, but then you must additionally remember the amount of care they require, as well as they are extremely vunerable to mass destruction (like droughts, burning, flooding, etc., which can wipe out a LOT at once).

Obviously it's a give-or-take thing.

Malthus said it right, three hundred years ago.

I get the length of this post was probably uneccesary but you asked a very good question that gave me an excuse to cover something in-depth.

I am inevitable.

According to the enotes, what do you call inventory that is readily available on the retail shelf?
Tems11 [23]

Market Inventory is the inventory that is readily available on the retail shelf. Both the products that are on hand for sale and the raw materials required to make those products are considered inventory. On the balance sheet of an organization, it is categorized as a current asset. A business should generally avoid keeping a large volume of inventory on hand for an extended period of time.

The three different categories of inventory are raw materials, finished commodities, and work-in-progress. The first-in, first-out method, the last-in, first-out method, and the weighted average method are the three methods used to value inventory. As items are produced or acquired as needed, inventory management enables organizations to reduce inventory expenditures.

A common practice for government entities, particularly schools, is to issue short-term (promissory) notes to cover daily expend
diamong [38]

This shorter payback period is positive and beneficial to the consumer, as it allows for harmony with amortization expenses.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • A short payback period is beneficial because of its relationship to amortization, as long-term debt allows this amortization to take place.
  • These amortization expenses allow the cost of long-term assets to be represented in the payment.
  • However, when the short-term payback period allows for amortization, causing the asset's value to be reduced by the amount that will be paid by the consumer.

In this case, we can state that in cases like the one shown in the question above, the short payback period is very beneficial and interesting to the consumer, as it can promote economic benefits.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Increase

fall

Explanation:

A recession occurs when the gross domestic product of a country for two consecutive quarters is negative.

Annually balanced budget is a budget where at the end of every year, revenue must equal expenditure.

If in a recession, a government is under pressure to maintain a balanced budget, the government would need to increase taxes. this is because income would be less than government expenditure as a result of the recession. In order to maintain a balanced budget, the government can either increases taxes are reduce expenditure.

When taxes are increased, disposable income falls and this causes aggregate demand to fall
