Answer: I found the complete question on Google:
By 2017, McDonald's had stopped selling Chicken McNuggets and other products made from chickens fed antibiotics. The change increased McDonald's costs, but an article in the Wall Street Journal noted that "...McDonald's ability to raise its prices is limited because of stiff competition."Source: David Kesmodel, Jacob Bunge, and Annie Gasparro, "McDonald's to Curb Antibiotics in Chicken," Wall Street Journal, March 4, 2015. Does this "stiff competition" mean that the demand curve for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is horizontal? Briefly explain.
And the correct answer is: "B. No, the demand curve is not horizontal because Chicken McNuggets are not identical to other chicken products.".
The correct answer is D. Absolute cost differences regulate the immediate basis for trade
Absolute gain is the ability of a country, separate, company or region to make a good or service at a lower cost per unit than the cost at which any other individual produces that same good or service.
Answer:
Firms may be inclined to keep their workers’ wages above the equilibrium level.
Explanation:
The efficiency wage theory states that if an employer increases the wage of his/her employees, they will be motivated and their productivity will increase. The increase in productivity should offset the increased labor costs. So the costs of higher wages should be recouped through increased productivity. Higher wages also reduce worker turnover, reducing hiring and training costs.
Answer:
D. Actions by governments rarely significantly affect business
Explanation:
Business-socciety interdependence points out how business activities impact society and how society impacts business decisions. Government actions play a significant role in business performance. For example, an increase in interest rate increases the cost of borrowing and acts as an investment disncentive. Likewise, an increase in corporation tax stifles the incentive to invest and reduces corporate profit. Other government interventions such as standards and regulations, minumum wage legislations, permits and licenses would not only reduce business profits but could make doing business very cumbersome. Also, the extent to which the government is committed to maintaining political stability could determine the extent to which invesmtent thrives in an economy.
