Answer:

d. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.

Explanation:

the options are missing, so I looked them up:

a. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are normal goods.

b. The price will increase, because dry beans and rice are normal goods.

c. The price will increase, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.

d. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.

Inferior goods are those goods whose quantity demanded decreases as consumer income increases. This happens because inferior goods have several substitute products that cost more, but as consumer income increases, consumers will tend to purchase the more expensive substitute goods instead of the cheaper inferior ones. I.e. as consumer income increases, they will seek to purchase higher quality goods, and inferior goods are generally low quality goods that are mostly purchased by people located at the lower socio-economic classes. Other examples of inferior goods are canned meat, instant noodles and cheap frozen foods.

Since the quantity demanded of inferior goods decreases as the economy improves, the demand curve shifts to the left, which will result in a lower equilibrium price.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

A) the law does not codify all ethical requirements.

Explanation:

Laws are meant to be generally and applicable to all individuals or organizations. It is absolutely impossible that laws could be made specifically for every single person, business, organization, and that it covers all their possible actions.

Imagine that there are over 32.5 million businesses in the US, that means that 32.5 million laws should be made. How many more laws regarding specific circumstances should there be?

Each company should try to have their own business ethics code, which should be followed specially by the upper management. It is a form of self-regulation, but it will all depend on the company to follow it.
