Answer:
D. All the Above
Explanation:
A. Lead to greater productivity
This is true because through specialization and competitive advantages you can achieve greater productivity in the production of goods and services. If you have a competitive advantage, it is because you have more capital, infrastructure and specialized human capital in the production of a specific type of good or service so that a greater amount of that good can be produced than another country in the same time.
B. Lead to greater output even if you can do everything better than someone else.
This is true since although a country has a competitive advantage in all industries, concentrating its labor and capital in the production of the good or service in which it has the greatest competitive advantage will allow a higher level of production in that sole good/service than if he divided his resources into the production of other goods and services.
C. Lead to international trade and overall gains for the nations involved.
This point, despite being true, is debatable. In theory, international trade allows to reach greater levels of wealth to the countries involved by being able to exchange the goods in which they have competitive advantage for others that if they were produced in the country they would consume part of their resources by not having such high productivity as if it will trade with a country that does have the capacity to produce it.
Having this clear, we can say that all of the above are true, so the answer is D.
C, The identification of a problem for investigation
The main body of law governing collective bargaining is the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). It is also referred to as the Wagner Act. It explicitly grants employees the right to collectively bargain and join trade unions. The NLRA was originally enacted by Congress in 1935 under its power to regulate interstate commerce under the Commerce Clause in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. It applies to most private non-agricultural employees and employers engaged in some aspect of interstate commerce. Decisions and regulations of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which was established by the NLRA, greatly supplement and define the provisions of the act.
The NLRA establishes procedures for the selection of a labor organization to represent a unit of employees in collective bargaining. The act prohibits employers from interfering with this selection. The NLRA requires the employer to bargain with the appointed representative of its employees. It does not require either side to agree to a proposal or make concessions but does establish procedural guidelines on good faith bargaining. Proposals which would violate the NLRA or other laws may not be subject to collective bargaining. The NLRA also establishes regulations on what tactics (e.g. strikes, lock-outs, picketing) each side may employ to further their bargaining objectives.
State laws further regulate collective bargaining and make collective agreements enforceable under state law. They may also provide guidelines for those employers and employees not covered by the NLRA, such as agricultural laborers.
Answer:
B) The Supply of corn will decrease and the price of corn will rise.
Explanation:
Option B is correct because the drought has damaged the corn crops. Therefore, this will affect the supply of corn in the market. Moreover, the damage of corn crops will shift the supply curve leftwards and this shift in the supply curve will push the prices upwards. Thus, the damage of corn crops will increase the prices due to a decrease in its supply.
