mixer [17]2 years ago

Answer:

a. True

b. False

c. False

d. False

e. False

Explanation:

A. True. This is because  trade usually occurs when the two countries meet a mutual agreement that benefits them both. Resources are distributed round the world in an uneven manner, and no country has the highest concentration of every single resource or item of trade. Hence, countries cannot produce all goods in the same quantities, at the same cost. The concept of comparative advantage now has to come in. Countries know it is cheaper to buy from more established countries in the production of certain goods, than producing it themselves.Hence in that kind of trade, both parties will be gaining. The exporting country gains money, while the importer gains the service at a cheaper cost than producing it themselves.

B. False: Although talent is good, some tasks require specialized training to be able to perform effectively eg. surgery, writing, driving, financial accounting. There are some disciplines that do not emphasize talent, rather diligence and attentiveness. Hence, it is not possible for a talented person to have a comparative advantage in everything he does, because a lot of things do not require talent; rather they require diligence.

C. False: It is actually possible for a trade to be good for both parties involved. In fact, most of the time trade is done when there is mutual benefit between the two parties. Trade in which only one party is gaining is mostly done out of trickery, compulsion or threat. As a norm, rational trade is done under free will when both parties gain.

D. False: Sometimes, the deal can be bad for one of the parties. When this occurs under free will, it is mostly as a result of ignorance. Typical examples were seen during the era of geographical colonialism and slave trade. The communities that gave their people as slaves where being impoverished of their human capacity, for the exchange of physical commodities which turned out bad for them in future years to come.

E. False. This is not always the case. Trade done by a country sometimes affects the people in the country. for example, a country that exports a lot of fish, will most likely have high prices for fish in their local market, because

1. Fish is a scarce resource and they are limited in supply and hence cannot serve both the local and international markets effectively without proper regulation.

2. Most fishermen will like to export their fish to make more profit through economies of scale. as a result, this will create scarcity of fish in the local  region.

The scarcity will cause high local prices of fish  which will affect the poor masses in the country.

Hence, trade done by a country doesn't always benefit everyone in the country

a. Customer satisfaction - a very important factor because it determines how well the supermarket is serving its customers.

b. Forecasting - the supermarket needs to forecast all sorts of things, from, sales forecasts, to profit forescasts, to costs forecasts.

c. Capacity planning - the supermarket needs to know what it is actually able to do, and what projects it can embark on, for this, it needs to do a lot of capacity planning.

d. Location - Location is extremely important for a supermarket. It determines a large part of the customer demand because customers prefer supermarkets to be close to where they live.

f. Layout of the store - The Supermakert needs to be careful when determining the layout of the store. Customers want a layout that is easy to navigate, and where goods are placed according to a coherent classification.

g. Scheduling - The supermarket needs to establish a convenient schedule for its customer base.

Clam gulch is a very popular clamming beach in alaska. on good low tides, clammers can easily gather 60 clams (the state limit).
Ahat [919]

The way economists would probably explain the wastage of this clam resource is by saying that clams are free goods and are therefore subject to the tragedy of the commons effect. The tragedy of the commons effect is a theory in economics, postulated by the Victorian economist William Forster Lloyd.


The tragedy of the commons effect describes a condition within a shared-resource system where each user act freely according to their own self-interest, but their collective actions ends in the depletion or spoilage of that resource, thus having a negative impact on the common good of all users. In this case, commons is taken to refer to the clam resources.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

  $6910.70

Explanation:

At the end of each year, the account balance will be 1.05 times the value at the beginning of the year. Thus, at the end of year 3, the value is 1.05^3 times the original value.

  $8000 = (deposit)×1.05^3

  deposit = $8000/1.05^3 ≈ $6910.70

James should deposit $6910.70 today.
