Business
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

works because prices serve as a means of communication between consumers and producers.

Explanation:

Market mechanism is the money is used as a medium of exchange between buyers and sellers in a open system of value (market).

In the market mechanism consumers are interested in maximising utility, while sellers want to maximise profit.

Demand and supply mechanics works to properly allocate resources according to fluctuations in price.

So market mechanism is successful because price has become a means of communication between buyers and sellers in their mission to maximise utility and profit.

A point outside (to the right of) the production possibilities curve of a nation implies that this nation is using its resources
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

is not attainable for this nation

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.

Point outside the curve or to the right of the curve means that the production level is not attainable given the level of resources

Points inside the production possibilities curve means that the nations resources are not being fully utilised

Factors that cause the PPF to shift  

1. changes in technology.  

2. changes in available resources.  

3. changes in the labour force.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is

A)  An exchange of a long position in a fixed-rate bond for a short position in a floating-rate note.

Explanation:

Swapping a fixed interest for a floating one can occur if the fixed interest tenure in comparison to a floating exchange rate becomes less expensive for the entity who took the loan.

Also executing a swap in interest rates (that is giving up the fixed tenure for the floating tenure) helps to ensure that liabilities are kept at minimum whilst assets are maximised.

It is important to note that the capital remains unmodified.

Cheers
