Answer:

A) adding more workers exhausts the possible gains from specialization.

Explanation:

When a worker specializes in a certain task, they will become more productive and efficient in performing the task. Worker specialization takes a long time, so it only applies in the long run.

In the short run when a company wants to increase its output, it cannot rely on worker specialization since they don't have the time to wait, they must hire more workers.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

C. Statute of limitations.

Explanation:

Statute of limitations are laws which states the time limit of when legal proceedings must be initiated between concerned parties from the date in which alleged offence was perpetrated.

In statue of limitations, the time limit for somebody is wronged to initiate legal action is not fixed in all jurisdiction. It means that depending on the nature of the alleged offense under statute of limitation, time allowed to institute legal actions varies.

Example of statue of limitation is that for certain states, the time limit to initiate legal case say on fraud is two years. It means that one must bring up the case in a court of law within the stipulated two years period. Once the two year grace elapse, one can no longer sue for fraud in the court of law.

Although there is no time limit for certain offence like murder case, sex offence with minor etc.

As in the case above, the judge threw away the case because according to the law of statute of limitation, a party that is wronged can only sue the wrong doer within the stipulated time as spelt out within the jurisdiction where the alleged offence was committed.

leonid [27]

Answer:

2. See part 2 of the attached excel file for the T-account.

3. Because BSB is cutting back on its loans, other banks will find they have <u>lower</u> reserves, causing them to <u>reduce</u> their loans. Which of the following ways represent an alternative for BSB to return to its original reserve ratio? Check all that apply.

4. The correct options are b. Borrow money from another bank and d. Attract additional deposits.

Explanation:

1. Beleaguered State Bank (BSB) holds $500 million in deposits and maintains a reserve ratio of 20 percent. Complete the following T-account for BSB.

Note: See part 1 of the attached excel file for the T-account.

In the attached excel, the following calculations are made:

Reserves = $500 million * 20% = $100 million

Loans = $500 - $100 = $400

2. Now suppose that BSB's largest depositor withdraws $25 million in cash from her account. BSB decides to restore its reserve ratio by reducing the amount of loans outstanding.

Note: See part 2 of the attached excel file for the T-account.

In the attached excel, the following calculations are made:

Deposits = $500 million - $25 million = $475 million

Reserves = $475 million * 20% = $95 million

Loans = $475 - $95 = $380

4. Which of the following ways represent an alternative for BSB to return to its original reserve ratio? Check all that apply.

The correct options are b. Borrow money from another bank and d. Attract additional deposits.
