AysviL [449]

Answer:

In state welfare capitalism, the government plays an active role in regulating economic activities in an effort to smooth out the boom-and-bust pattern of the business cycle

Explanation:

Nations that adhere to capitalism on the premise of social welfare are characterized by state regulation aimed at protecting the population and ensuring a healthy standard of living.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

It will take approximately 55 years

Explanation:

<em>The future value of a lump sum is the amount expected at a future date when a sum of money is invested today at a particular rate of interest for certain number of years</em>

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV= 50,000, PV = 4,000, n-?, r- 5%

50,000 = 4,000 × (1.05)^n

divide both sides by 4000

12.5 = 1.05^n

n= log 12.5/log 1.05

n = 51.8

The number of years = 51.8 + 3 years

                                  =54.767

Approximately 55 years

It will take 55 years

You produce widgets for sale in a perfectly com- petitive market at a market price of $10 per wid- get. Your widgets are manufac
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: No.

Explanation:

This is a Perfectly Competitive market and that means that you are a price taker who maximises output at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost ( MR = MC). As costs have gone up, it simply means that for the conditions to be satisfied, you need to produce less at the factory in Connecticut.

That does not mean that you have to produce more at the Massachusetts plant because it is already producing at capacity and increasing the marginal cost would violate the MR=MC rule as you have no control over the price so you cannot change Marginal Revenue. It is therefore better to keep the production level at the Massachusetts plant unchanged.
