Answer:

Historical cost

Explanation:

Historical cost is a cost recorded in a company's book at the original value it was purchased, thus not considered as a factor that influences manufacturing location. Example of historical cost is original value of an asset (like the land where the warehouse facility will be located)which is recorded in the company's records.

The following are criterion that influences manufacturing plant or warehouse facility location decisions;

- Labour quality: The quality of labour in an area determines if an industry will be established in that area.

-Business climate: Another factor to be considered is the business climate. Is the location good enough for business activities?

-Proximity to consumers: Owners of companies also consider how close their firm would be to the buyers before they choose certain location for the establishment of their business.

-Country's infrastructure: Some foreign firms consider if the local country they want to invest in has necessary infrastructure before they make their decisions.

-Others are Suppliers, Tariffs and customs duty etc.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:a.

It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

Explanation:

A bank will often hold government securities as an asset. If a bank were to sell S500,000 in government securities to an individual who paid for the bond in cash and the bank placed this cash in its vault, by how much would the money supply change as a result - It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

The money supply is the entire stock of currency and other liquid instruments circulating in a country's economy and is given by the formula:

MONEY SUPPLY = RESERVES X MONEY MULTIPLIER

Therefore the bank reserves increasing in the scenario will increase money supplier by the effect of the money multiplier or the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

What lessons are we to learn from this?

The Hanseatic league, just like the Northern Italian City-States of the Late Middle Ages, are early examples of capitalism: they represent proto-capitalism.

In the cities that belonged to the Hanseatic League, the work of merchants was promoted, and capital accumulation and the profit motive began to develop. However, this does not meant that cooperation was out of place. The merchants cooperated voluntarily because they could get more working in association.

Are there prospects for more merchant leagues in an increasingly globalized economy?

There will always be the prospect for more merchant leagues, because people naturally cooperate if it is in the benefit of all the parties.

In fact, trade unions and economic unions could be seen as a form of merchant league, that are created by states instead of individual merchants.

Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the sa

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1. PES for pancakes is 2.45

2. Supply in the market for motorcycles is less elastic than supply in the market for pancakes.

Explanation:

Hi :)

I feel like part of the question is missing but i was able to find it elsewhere and show you:

1. How to calculate PES using mid-point formula

2. PES for both motorcycles and pancakes

3. Which is more elastic

...

Price elasticity of supply is the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. it is calculated by dividing the % change in quantity supplied by the % change in price. Generally, it can be of two types:

Price Elastic: Change in quantity supplied is higher than change in price. PES > 1

Price Inelastic: Change in quantity supplied is lower than change in price. PES < 1

When calculated using the mid-point formula, this is the formula used:

(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]

(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1)/2]

1. We will now substitute the actual values of pancakes in place after identifying them from the question:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 109 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

(109 - 27) / [(109 + 27)/2]

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

1.21

0.493

Therefore, PES for pancakes is 2.45 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic.

2. In order to check whether motorcycles or pancakes are more elastic, we calculate the PES of motorcycles using the same method:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 61 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

(61 - 27) / [(61 + 27)/2] 

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

0.77

0.493

Therefore, PES for motorcycles is 1.56 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic. However, it is less price elastic than PES for pancakes.

One reason for this could be production time. Pancakes can be produced much faster than motorcycles. Therefore, it is more flexible to price changes.
