If three people work for a company:
A, who has worked there for 5 years,
B, who has worked there for 20 years,
and C, who has worked there for 1 year,
B has seniority over A and C, A has seniority over C. In most companies, this would mean that barring other factors, C would be fired first because C has the lowest seniority. <span />

Answer:
<u><em>But where do we go from here? </em></u>
It depends on the result of more government intervention on quality life standards.
<u><em>Do we need less or more government involvement? </em></u>
It depends on the problems that need to be addressed. For example, to address problems such inequality it is mandatory that the government gets involve and create laws to prevent it. But surely for more movement of capitals there is no need of higher government involvement.
<u><em>Is it a question of the quality of that involvement? </em></u>
Yes. If government has an effective involvement there is even desirable to have its intervention but if it complicates everything then is repeled.
<u><em>Could it be smarter rather than just less? </em></u>
Yes, because it is proved that the economy acts in an effective way to good policy making.
<u><em>How can the cost of government involvement decrease?</em></u>
In this aspect it is important to mention the environmental issues in nowadasy economy. If the measurement of what is defined as "cost" is understand in the long run as conservation and balance between nature and economic explotation of resources.
Answer:
a) Gold = $1,380; Silver = $1,020
b) Gold = $1,300; Silver = $980
Explanation:
a) At first, with Qg = 60 and Qs = 270, the equilibrium prices for gold and silver are found by solving the following linear system:

Equilibrium price of gold is $1,380 and the price of silver is $1,020.
b) If the supply of gold increases to 120, since the goods are substitutes, there will be an increase in overall supply and the equilibrium price of gold and silver will decrease as follows:

Equilibrium price of gold is $1,300 and the price of silver is $980.
