Answer:
1. The mandatory retirement age in Wonkaland is abolished.
- INCREASE IN THE LONG RUN AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE: greater use of labor
2. Wonkaland's main export is candy. Candy from this country increases in popularity as consumers all over the world want to buy Wonkalandian candy.
- NO CHANGE IN THE LONG RUN AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE
3. Since candy from Wonkaland has become an international sensation, factories in Wonkaland double the number of candy making machines.
- INCREASE IN THE LONG RUN AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE: greater use of capital investments
4. The top candy companies in Wonkaland chose to relocate their means of production to other countries around the world.
- DECREASE IN THE LONG RUN AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE: lower use of capital investments
Explanation:
The long run aggregate supply curve is only affected by changes in capital, labor and technology. If the use of these factors increases, the LRAS curve will increase, if their use decreases, then the LRAS curve decreases.
Answer:
The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.
Explanation:
The incremental BCR can be determined using the following formula
8% , 10)
⇒ 
⇒ 
8%, 20)
⇒ 
⇒
= $203,704.42
Incremental initial investment = 203,704.42 - 149,029.49
= $ 54,674.93
Incremental benefits = 580,000 - 520,000 = 60,000
Incremental O&M = 75,000 - 80,000 = - $ 5000
Incremental Disbenefits = 140,000 - 90,000 =$ 50,000
All solving using the present worth method also incremental benefit cost ratio comes out to be 0.2743.
The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous. An example of a public good is a statue in a public park Everyone has assess to the statue and because one person is enjoying the view of the statue does not means another person cannot enjoy the view of the statue
Answer:
The central government is, essentially, the public body in charge of managing the nation's resources and controlling compliance with the laws. In other words, it applies its power within the entire national territory, but in turn delegating certain powers to state and local governments, which have a much stronger contact with the population of cities and states. Thus, within the regional development process in each nation, local and state governments are the main executors of development policies, but with the supervision and guidance of central governments.
Answer: will increase but this will not affect living standards
Explanation:
GDP is sometimes called an incomplete measure because there are certain measures that it does not include such as the black market.
If firms in the black market shift to the formal sector, they will now be included in GDP which means that GDP will increase.
The living standards of people in the country will probably not change however because the firms involved were simply shifting sectors and are not said to be more or less prosperous as a result. Assuming they remained the same, nothing changes for living standards.
