Answer:

E) A is higher, and F is lower.

Explanation:

If the farmer is risk averse, he tends to always take the decision which will minimize risk.

His financial assets (A) are not affected by floods, so the higher they are, less likely he will be to pay for flood insurance.

If P is the likelihood of a flood happening, the lower the risk P, then the lower the willingness to pay for flood insurance will be.

If F is lower, then the farmer is unlikely to spend money insuring the farm.

Therefore, analyzing the answer choices, the only that fits the above description is E) A is higher, and F is lower.

The basic model of pure competition reviewed in this chapter finds that in the long run all firms in a purely competitive indust
Helen [10]

If all firms only earn a normal profit in the long run, firms will develop new products or lower-cost production methods because they can innovate and possibly earn an economic profit in the short run.

Explanation:

Competition involves constant efforts by companies and executives to do more than the loss (normal gains) of new goods or by improving ways to manufacture current products at lower prices. Therefore, if businesses can invent, they will achieve short-term economic advantage.

Economic benefit encourages entry, economic losses lead to exit and firms in a highly profitable market earn little economic income in a long-term equilibrium. In an industry where inflation does not change the costs of materials (a market with a constant cost), the long-term supply curve is a horizontal line.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The article is "Copyright infringement and the Intellectual Property Complaints on Amazon. It was published on December, 12th 2018.

There has been an increase in the number of complaints about intellectual property violations and the copyright infringement at Amazon Inc. In order to counterfeit each other, sellers copy the features of each other’s products, thereby violating the intellectual property rights. Sellers have been filing complaints against one other at the company.

Amazon has also been trying hard to stop increasing cases of such liability litigations. Amazon has been removing any listing that has probability of copyright infringement. Sellers are also encouraged to take preventive actions when listing their products on the platform.

The adverse effects of copyright infringement on the overall society include:

• Copyright infringement can lower the quality of consumer goods. There will be lesser quality goods rather there'll be more of goods in terms of quantity.

• The overall economy will get impacted as there will be more legal cases. Legal penalties in society will also increase due to Sellers taking each others to court.
