Barriers to International Trade Countries often use various government regulations to manipulate the amount of goods and service

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

1. Embargoes and sanctions

When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.

2. Tariffs

This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.

3. Import Quota

Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.

4. Tariff.

This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.

5. Import Quota.

This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.

6. Embargoes and Sanctions.

This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.

A woman worked for 30 years before retiring. At the end of the first year of employment she deposited 5000 into an account for h

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$797,837

Explanation:

the first withdrawal is $50,000

the second is $51,500

and so on...

the formula that used to solve the interest rate earned by the annuity is:

$50,000 x {[(1 + i)³⁰ - (1 + 3%)³⁰] / [(1 + i)³⁰ x (i - 3%)]} x (1 + i) = $5,000 x {[(1 + i)³⁰ - (1 + 3%)³⁰] / (i - 3%)}

we start to simplify the equation by cancelling {[(1 + i)³⁰ - (1 + 3%)³⁰] / (i - 3%)}

[$50,000 x (1 + i)] / (1 + i)³⁰ = $5,000

now we cancel $5,000 on each side:

[10 x (1 + i)] / (1 + i)³⁰ = 1

now lets take away (1 + i):

10 / (1 + i)²⁹ = 1

things get a little bit more simple now:

10 = (1 + i)²⁹

²⁹√10 = ²⁹√(1 + i)²⁹

1.082636734 = 1 + i

i = 1.082636734 - 1 = 0.082636734 = 8.2636734%

now we replace i in any equation:

= $50,000 x {[(1 + 0.082636734)³⁰ - 1.03³⁰] / [(1 + 0.082636734)³⁰ x (0.082636734 - 0.03)]} x (1 + 0.082636734)

= $50,000 x {[10.82636738 - 2.427262471] / [10.82636738 x 0.052636734]} x (1 + 0.082636734)

= $50,000 x {8.399104909 / 0.56986462} x (1.082636734)

= $50,000 x 14.73877236 x 1.082636734

= $797,837

On March 1st, Mr. Smithe signed up for a fitness program at Fit Co. and paid $960 for the entire program upfront. The program in

vichka [17]

Answer:

Revenue - March = $160

Explanation:

The accrual principle in accounting states that the revenues for a period should match the expenses for that particular period and any revenue or expense should be recorded in the period to which it relates to. This means that the upfront fee received by Fit Co. is a liability and should not be recorded as a revenue until it is earned. So, by providing two sessions in the month of March, Fit Co. has earned revenue for 2 sessions out of the twelve. Thus, at the end of March, Fit Co. should record a revenue of,

Revenue - march = 960 * 2/12 = $160

Consider two spices, cumin and paprika, to be substitutes, a decrease in the supply of paprika, should cause an increase in the

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

an increase in the price of both

Explanation:

A decrease in the supply of paprika would cause an increase in the price of both substitute goods. When the supply of paprika falls, the demand will be greater than what is available for sale and this would cause the sellers to raise it's price afterall it is now scarce.

Also as a substitute good, more people would begin to switch to buying cummin which would raise the demand for cummin. This increase in demand for cummin would then cause the price of cummin to go up.
