How does the economy work?

Business

Your question is too broad. It took me two 48-hour courses to learn the basics of how the economy operates.

While it is interesting and I do not wish to discourage your curiosity, please make the question more specific.

For now, all I can say is that the primary function of an economy is integrating the 4 factors of production - Land, Labor, Enterprise and Capital - to produce goods profitably. This is made possible through the interactions between the consumers (also the labor), private firms, financial sector and the government sector. I would suggest watching a video on the circular flow on income on YouTube for more information on these interactions.

Furthermore, economics is concerned with solving the basic economic problem, which is the existence of unlimited wants in relation to the limited resources available on our planet. This leads us making choices (which wants to satisfy through production and consumption) and making sacrifices (which wants to give up as there only a limited amount of resources available). Economics in general deals with attempting to get the most out of the resources available. It deals with anticipating consumer behavior, trends and using this analyzed information to make decisions.

The last thing you should know is that economics is most broadly categorized into two field - Macroeconomics and Microeconomics.

Microeconomics deals with the interaction between individuals, i.e., individuals firms/industries, consumers. This deals with such things as factors affecting the demand of goods, the concept of elasticity, factor affecting supply of goods, the marginal utility theory and so forth.

Macroeconomics deals with the economy as a whole - this includes concepts such as national income (GDP), aggregate demand and supply, the multiplier effect, the factors affecting consumption, investment,government expenditure and net exports, the exchange rate systems and Balance of Payments.

P.S. In the above answer, I have only briefly mentioned the basics. If you would like further understanding of the basics then please YouTube/Google each economics term listed above.

An agent gives a conditional receipt to a client for an insurance policy after collecting the initial premium. when will the pol
ExtremeBDS [4]
If the insurer takes the policy as applied for the coverage will take effect when the conditions of the receipt are met and from the date of the application or medical exam. The two types of conditional receipts are insurability and approval. The insurability receipt provides interim coverage as the applicant is insurable while the approval receipt will not begin until the insurer will approve the claim. However, conditional receipts will provide the coverage if the applicant is insurable as applied for and coverage will not be delivered until the applicant accepts the coverage if the insurer concerns a counter-offer because the applicant is substandard risk.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

- This type of fraud is check tampering

- It amounts to 20.1% of fraud cases in small businesses, and 8.4% of fraud in large businesses

- This type of fraud can be prevented by rotating employees that handle check issuance to vendors, review of budget versus actual expenditure, monitoring of audit trail to see if beneficiary was changed, daily statement download for reconciliation, and restriction of functions for example a employee that issues checks should not also reconcile bank statement.

Explanation:

Check tampering is a very common fraud that involves changing the beneficiary of a valid check so that funds can be diverted.

In the given scenario the accounts payable clerk was able to change checks to his name in order to divert $10,000. This was only discovered by chance when an employee noticed the change in name.

Various internal control measures can be taken to prevent this and they are listed above

motikmotik

Answer:

B. they involve the use of expert judgement do develop forecasts

Explanation:

A time series is a series of events that is spaced equally in time. It is a statistical technique used to identify a time based trend of events and them make forecast using data from the trend/time series.

Time series requires certain processes which include discovering of a pattern in the historical data, projection of the historical data into the future, assumption that the pattern will remain the same(constant) as the time goes by, etc.

In time series method, since historical data is the point of reference for making a forecast, no expert judgements is required to develop forecasts. This is because once the data of the series from the past has been taken and a trend/pattern has been identified, that becomes the basis for future forecasts.

Cheers.
