Answer:

B) the uneven distribution of gains and losses from free trade.

Explanation:

One of the most important reasons why governments impose trade barriers is to protect domestic jobs (and domestic industries). We are part of a society (country), and society's most important component is people, not money. Generally the economic gains of free trade are larger than the economic losses, but the economic losses hurt the most.

Imagine if no trade barriers actually existed, how many millions of jobs would be lost in the US. Trade barriers are nothing new, the current president didn't invent them. He just incinerated them.

How does a leader tell the people that 10 or 20 million must lose their jobs and probably will not be able to find any similar jobs in the future just because the rest of society will benefit from cheaper products. The lives of 20 million households (50-80 million people) would be destroyed, while 280 million people would benefit.

The amount of harm done to the people that lose their jobs is much greater than any individual benefit.

Well if the muslims have any trade with us then that will most likely stop. most could be kicked out and that could start a riat. the economy would be bad but it will not be any worse than what he started with. he have been in the office for less than a week now and has already hit isis countless times. something obama never did. i would say trump's ban on muslims would cause a minor effect on the economy.

If the demand for an item increases,what effect will it have an price and quantity? A) price will increase and quantity increas.
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

A) price will increase and quantity increase.

Explanation:

An increase in demand means more customers are willing and can afford to buy a product. Holding the other factors constant, an increase in demand results in many potential buyers chasing very few goods. The competition for the few goods leads to an increase in their prices. The equilibrium point moves up the graph to a new higher position as a result of an increase in demand.

As per the law of supply, quantity supplied increases as prices rise. Profit motives drive all business establishments. As prices increase due to increased demand, suppliers will be motivated to supply more to take advantage of high prices.
