Answer: "Laws passed by the federal government often provide benefits for a small number of individuals. These individuals, in turn, have an incentive to contribute to the campaigns of politicians who pass these laws."

Explanation: Rent seeking is an economic concept that revolves around government-funded social services and social service programs. It occurs when an entity seeks to gain added wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity.

Rent seeking can be said to be a process of obtaining economic rent by manipulating the social or political environment in which economic activities occur, rather than by creating new wealth.

An example of rent seeking is when

Laws passed by the federal government which often provide benefits for a small number of individuals. These individuals, in turn, have an incentive to contribute to the campaigns of politicians who pass these laws.

When two countries decide to engage in specialization and exchange the advantage is: Group of answer choices Their production po
kompoz [17]

Answer:

They will be able to consume at a point outside their production possibilities frontier.

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.  

Factors that cause the PPF to shift  

1. changes in technology.  

2. changes in available resources.  

3. changes in the labour force.  

A country engages in the specialisation of a good for which it has a comparative advantage in its production and purchases goods for which it has a comparative disadvantage in its production .

an advantage of specialisation is that it allows countries to consume goods for which its not efficient in its production. Thus it allows to consume unattainable goods given the resources of the country. As a result, they will be able to consume at a point outside their production possibilities frontier.

Joan, is a jewelry designer who had created a unique new jewelry piece called a neacklet. It can be either a necklace or a brace
patriot [66]

Answer and explanation:

In Joan's case, a general partnership will provide her control over her business that will be shared with the older gentleman who owns a jewelry store. Profits would be distributed evenly regardless of the contribution of each partner in the business. However, the older gentleman has offered Joan the chance of purchasing his share later on which would provide her the total control of the business and the patent of her creation.

The other option Joan has available is purchasing a franchise. This will allow Joan to avoid the initial costs of introducing her products to the market and the risks of not having enough consumers since her brand name is new. Though she will lose access to the patent of her creation and periodically Joan will need to pay NewJewelry a fee for using its name.

Therefore, <em>as Joan prefers to have control over her designs, it would be more convenient for her to choose the general partnership.</em>
