Answer: Political Distance
Explanation:
Political distance refers to a difference in opinion and policies as well as relations that countries have amongst themselves. In this scenario, this is the most likely bone of contention that would prevent Macmillan Toys from expanding into Rusalka.
This is because land disputes fall under political distance and can get very serious. So serious in fact that nations have gone to war over such disputes with the latest being Azerbaijan and Armenia. Macmillan Toys may therefore find it difficult to expand into the country due to this land dispute.
Answer:
The correct answer is d. Different economic models employ different sets of assumptions.
Explanation:
To approach the study of economic reality it is necessary, in some way, to simplify it; keep certain variables under control. Precisely for this, it is that economic models are built.
Economic models are built on principles of departure, called "assumptions." Such assumptions fulfill the same role as the postulates in geometry. That is:
- They are not subject to deduction from other more basic principles.
- They are "reasonably" true but not necessarily verifiable.
- They function as premises in the logical structure to deduce the conclusions and correlations found in the lowest levels of generality.
We can say then, that the theoretical explanations refer to invisible "relationships", whose existence is proposed by the theory, and whose implications are logically deduced, and then corroborated by observations. They consist of:
- Assumptions (eg subjects want to maximize their earnings).
- Relevant variables (eg price and quantity).
- Binding hypothesis (eg quantity demanded based on price).
- Conclusions or predictions of observable facts (eg prices will rise).
