What motive did the Federalists have for pushing the Alien Act through Congress in 1798?

1 answer:

6 0

To make it harder for immigrants to the US to become a citizen and easier to deport them and also to limit their right to vote. It was defended by the Federalists as being for national security during an undeclared war with France. While three of its provisions were repealed by the Democrats, one remained and was used by FDR to intern the Japanese in WWII.

Answer:

Fixed costs do not change as a result of a change in the production amount but variable costs do. So long as the item changes as a result of production, it is a variable cost.

1. Rent ⇒ Fixed

Once rent is paid, it will not change regardless of the quantity produced.

2. Thread ⇒ Variable

In an apparel shop like this one, more thread is needed to produce more clothes so this is a variable cost.

3. Buttons ⇒ Variable.

More buttons are needed for more clothes to be made.

4. Wages ⇒ Variable

Wages will change if more clothes need to be produced.

5. Electricity ⇒ Variable

Cost will change if more clothes are manufactured because more electricity will be used.

6. Cloth ⇒Variable

7. Equipment Rent ⇒ Fixed

This will not change regardless of production level just like rent.

8. Shipping Costs ⇒ Variable Cost

More clothes means more shipping costs to transport them.

9. Insurance ⇒ Fixed cost

10. Property Taxes ⇒ Fixed cost

This does not change regardless of production level as it is based on the property, not production.
