Answer:

There will be no adverse movement in the exchange rates or interest rates

Explanation:

John's speculative element is that there will be no adverse movement in the exchange rates or interest rates . that is why he borrowed in Japanese Yen and converted it to U.S dollars and also deposited it into a U.S bank with the hope of earning a high interest rate on his money.

If the interest rates on bank Deposits in the U.S drops from 6% and the interest rate on borrowings in India increases above 1% with an adverse change in the exchange rate between Japanese Yen and U.S dollar John would lose alot of his money

Mademuasel [1]

Answer: the highest of the minimum wages.

Explanation:

The company will have the pay the minimum wage that is the highest because they are under the authority of all three governments and paying the highest minimum wage would ensure that they automatically follow the minimum wages set by the other two authorities.

For instance; the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, the state minimum wage is $10 per hour and the city minimum is $12 per hour. When the company pays $12 an hour, they would be adhering to the city minimum and automatically adhering to the Federal and State minimums as well.

Under which conditions is price elasticity of supply relatively elastic or relatively inelastic?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1. Firms are operating in the short run  - relatively inelastic

2. Firms would have a hard time storing their goods  - relatively inelastic

3. Firms have a large amount of excess capacity  - relatively elastic

4. Firms can easily relocate from one location to another - relatively elastic.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply is less in the short run than in the long run. In the short run supplier does not have enough time to adjust the production level so supply is inelastic. The firms facing hard to store their goods then the supply is inelastic. If the firm has spare capacity available then the supply is relatively elastic because supplier can produce more if the demand is greater.  The mobility factor also effects elasticity, if firm can easily relocate itself then the supply is elastic.

A decrease in the demand for eggs due to changes in consumer tastes, accompanied by a decrease in the supply of eggs as a result
Mariana [72]

Answer:

a decrease in the equilibrium quantity of eggs; the equilibrium price may increase or decrease

Explanation:

Here are the options

a decrease in the equilibrium quantity of eggs and no change in the equilibrium price.

a decrease in the equilibrium quantity of eggs; the equilibrium price may increase or decrease.

a decrease in the equilibrium price of eggs; the equilibrium quantity may increase or decrease.

a decrease in the equilibrium price of eggs and no change in the equilibrium quantity.

Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.

Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :

1. a change in consumers' expectation

2. a change in the taste of consumers

3. a change in income

A change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve and not a shift of the supply curve.

Other factors other than a change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :  

1. A change in the price of input  

2. A change in the number of suppliers  

3. Government regulations  

A decrease in the demand for eggs would lead to a leftward shift of the demand curve for eggs. Price and quantity would fall as a result.

a decrease in the supply of eggs would lead to a leftward shift of the supply curve for eggs. Price would increase and quantity would fall.

Taking these two effects together, there would be a fall in equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price can either rise or fall depending on if demand or supply has a greater effect.
