5. Describe an ethical dilemma related to pricing or advertising. (1 point)

Officials argue that the government needs to reduce the national debt. Which actions are most likely to accomplish this goal?

Lapatulllka [165]

The correct answer should be Increase taxation and decrease spending

This would be the most efficient way to do this since you would get more money from taxes and they would lose less money because of lack of spending. People would probably be dissatisfied, but it would help the budget.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

b. opportunity cost

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is a term for a process when one thing is chosen and the other alternatives are lost as a cost. This is one of the key concepts in economics, as it explains the gain, costs, benefits, and choices. It doesn’t only have to refer to the money cost, but to any loss, that is made during the process of choosing between the alternatives.

The profit and benefits of other choices are lost by making a decision to chose one thing, and benefiting it from it alone.

Suppose that a worker in Caninia can produce either 2 blankets or 8 meals per day, and a worker in Felinia can produce either 5

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

15 blankets; 35 meals

Explanation:

First, we compute Opportunity Cost (OC).

In Caninia,

OC of blanket = 8/2 = 4 meals

OC of meals = 2/8 = 0.25 blanket

In Felinia,

OC of blanket = 1/5 = 0.2 meals

OC of meals = 5/1 = 5 blanket

Since Felinia can produce blankets at lower OC (0.2 < 4), so

Felinia has comparative advantage and specializing in blankets.

Total blankets produced with trade = 5 x 10

= 50

Since Caninia can produce meals at lower OC (0.25 < 5), so

Caninia has comparative advantage and specializing in meals.

Total meals produced with trade = 8 x 10

= 80

After trade,

Total blankets produced = 10 + 25

= 35

Decrease in blanket output = 50 - 35

= 15

Total meals produced = 40 + 5

= 45

Decrease in meals output = 80 - 45

= 35

What do you think happens to the price of an object as it goes through a large number of intermediaries?

Mrac [35]

Because the manufacturer is also the entity selling the good or service, prices tend to be lower in a direct distribution channel. Indirect channels, on the other hand, generally see higher prices because of the number of intermediaries involved. The more there are, the higher the price.
