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.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

i=4.84%

Explanation:

the key to answer this question, is to remember the model of return for a perpeuity dividend calculation:

Value=\frac{1}{i-k}

where value is the current stock price, i is the dividend yield and k is the growth rate, so applying to this particular case we have

k=3.4/91

k=3.74%

and solving i for the previous formula:

91=\frac{1}{i-0.0374}

0.01098={i-0.0374}

i=4.84\%

<h3>A business transaction is what?</h3>

A financial exchange of commodities, money, or services between two or more people is referred to as a business transaction. A commercial exchange must have a measurable monetary value in order to be considered a transaction for accounting purposes. Business dealings will have an impact on the company's finances.

A long-term service contract might be as complicated as a business transaction, or it can be as simple as a cash purchase. The following requirements must be met for a transaction to qualify as a commercial transaction:

  • The deal can be valued financially.
  • The company and the third party engage in the transaction.
  • The deal is made on behalf of the company and not for a person's personal benefit.

In an open-market operation, the Fed buys $10 million of government bonds from individual investors. If the required reserve rat
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

$100 million ; $10 million

Explanation:

Required reserve ratio (r) = 10%

Worth of bond = $10,000,000

The smallest increase can be thought of as being the $10million generated from open market operation and could be held by the bank as reserve.

To calculate the largest increase in deposit:

Money multiplier * deposit (worth of bond)

Money multiplier = (1 / reserve ratio)

Money multiplier = (1 / 0.1) = 10

Increase in deposit = 10 * $10,000,000 = $100,000,000 ( $100 million)

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

2018 = $4,945.46

2019 -  $4,450.91

Explanation:

sum-of- the-years'-digits depreciation expense =( number of useful lives remaining / sum of the years ) x (Cost of asset - residual value)

sum of the years = 1 +2 +3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55

depreciation expense in 2018 = (10 / 55 ) x ( $33,600 - $6,400) = $27,200 X 0.181818 = $4,945.46

depreciation expense in 2018 = (9 / 55 ) x ( $33,600 - $6,400) = $27,200 X 0.163636 = $4,450.91
