Answer:

B) establish an excess of exports over imports.

Explanation:

Mercantilism asserts that countries should simultaneously encourage exports and discourage imports. Therefore, it is in a country's best interest to maintain a trade surplus, i.e. have more exports than imports. Mercantilism believes that governments should intervene the markets in order to achieve a trade surplus.

Mercantilism tries to take advantage of other countries, and it always easier to take advantage on poorer or developing countries, rather than richer developed countries.

loris [4]

Answer:

(a) $546,300

(b) $12.88

Explanation:

(a) Earnings available to common stockholders:

= Dividend + Retained Earnings

= 33,300 + 513,000

= $546,300

Earnings available to common stockholders means the amount available to distribute as dividend.

But the company need not pay full earnings as dividend. They may left some portion as retained earnings.

(b) Earnings per share:

= Earnings available to common stockholders ÷ no. of shares of common stock

= $546,300 ÷ 42,400

= $12.88

Scarcity, opportunity cost, and marginal analysis Kyoko is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Explanation:

Trade off can be expressed in terms of opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

Kyoko has limited time so she has to choose between three activities. If she chooses one sport, she would not be able to partake in the other activities. So, she is trading off biking or running for swimming.

Trade off occurs because resources are limited and wants are unlimited.

How supply and demand work together to reach the equilibrium price in the marketplace? Please give at least a paragraph. Thank y

grandymaker [24]

Answer

Before I answer this question, you must note that the equilibrium price is created by both the amount supplied of a certain product as well as how much "customers" there are (or the amount that is bought in all). This however, is usually not taking account any potential competitors.

For example, let say that the price in creating the product (or buying) is $15. This means that right now, the company loses $15 for one of the products. To make a profit, the selling price must be >$15. However, (unless they are a monopoly, such as, for example, electrical companies) there are competitors that they must fight with to get customers. Of course, there are other things that can affect the price, depending on the demographic and area.

So how does supply and demand affect the equilibrium price? The limits of the supply & the amount of demand would help determine the price by the amount of people buying and the supply of the product.
