Answer:
D. None of the above
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total monetary value of all the goods and services a country produces within a period of time.
There are various approaches to calculating GDP which include; the income approach, expenditure approach and output approach.
The income approach to calculating GDP considers income from all the factors of production (profits, interest, rental and labor incomes) in each sector of the economy to arrive at the National income of the country.
Answer:
When Economists say that humans make decisions at the margin they mean that decisions are made on the basis of the cost and benefit of getting an additional unit of a good/ service.
Marginal benefit refers to the additional utility that we will derive from consuming one extra unit of a good or service and factors in heavily into our decision making. We usually accept a decision if the Marginal benefit is higher or equal to the Marginal cost ( cost of the additional unit) of the good/service.
If the Marginal Cost is instead higher, the decision would most probably be cancelled.
Answer:
Monopoly
Explanation:
Monopoly is a market structure where only one firm controls the market share and earn abnormal profits. In a monopoly market, a producer or a supplier earn abnormal profits, which is why they don't try to control the cost of production because they can sell the good at any price. This situation where the cost of production increases, it creates X-inefficiency.
-Whenever countries have different opportunity costs in production they can benefit from specialization and trade.
-Benefits of specialization include greater economic efficiency, consumer benefits, and opportunities for growth for competitive sectors.
Answer:
The answer is B. Ethan has more experience than Karen.
Explanation:
Now, lets take each Answer option separately and see why only B is correct.
Option A is no longer legally accepted or ethical. Perhaps during the era of segregation back in 1960s' this option could have been acceptable. But today it is illegal and is considered as a violation of basic human rights.
Option C is not correct as well because although people with special needs and physical requirements are entitled to receive certain special treatments, paying them more solely based on their disability is not considered suitable nor ethical.
Option D is unacceptable. No one can assume that men have more stamina than women. There are competent, strong and qualified women who can do their jobs much better than men. So we cannot accept this as an answer.
Option E is incorrect as well. Although a person could be an immigrant, once that person has lawfully taken the citizenship of a country, that "immigrant" is considered as a "citizen" of that country (this is not applicable for illegal immigrants!).
However, we can take option B as the answer. This is because when comparing a new employee with a more experienced employee, we can't see any problem in paying the experienced employee more.
