B. Inflation
Inflation is when a country prints too much money, therefore decreasing the value of the currency.
Answer:
It illustrates that the classical model of the price level best applies to economies with persistently high inflation.
Explanation:
When a very low inflation rate has been constant in an economy, and the money supply increases suddenly, in the short run that change will not immediately increase the inflation rate, but instead it will increase real output.
Classical economists argue that an increase in the money supply will immediately affect the inflation rate, but that theory applies mostly to economies that have a certain level of inflation. For example, for the past 12 years, European nations have been experiencing very low inflation rates, sometimes even negative rates. But during that same period, the European Central Bank has carried on a huge expansionary policy. It favored economic growth, although not as much as expected, but it didn't skyrocket inflation rate as the classical economy model predicted.
Answer:
C. By realizing gains through increase in share price and cash divideneds.
Explanation:
For most corporations, the management must strive to ensure the firm is doing well in the market space. Once a company is doing well, it will affect its share price positively on the stock exchange.
An increase in the share price of fim is a gain to the firm and its corporate owners. I.e sharedholders. This means that the value of their investment in the firm has appreciated.
Furthermore, the firm must try to make profit which is one of the reason of being in business. A firm that is making profit will be able to declare same at the end of the financial period, hence corporate holders(shareholders) would be have part in profit declaration through dividened.
For a restaurant, some variable costs could be labor costs/ worker wages, raw product/ purchasing food to cook, and energy and fuel/ utilities.
Answer:
B) the uneven distribution of gains and losses from free trade.
Explanation:
One of the most important reasons why governments impose trade barriers is to protect domestic jobs (and domestic industries). We are part of a society (country), and society's most important component is people, not money. Generally the economic gains of free trade are larger than the economic losses, but the economic losses hurt the most.
Imagine if no trade barriers actually existed, how many millions of jobs would be lost in the US. Trade barriers are nothing new, the current president didn't invent them. He just incinerated them.
How does a leader tell the people that 10 or 20 million must lose their jobs and probably will not be able to find any similar jobs in the future just because the rest of society will benefit from cheaper products. The lives of 20 million households (50-80 million people) would be destroyed, while 280 million people would benefit.
The amount of harm done to the people that lose their jobs is much greater than any individual benefit.
