Answer:
C. A situation where no economic agent would benefit by changing his or her behavior
Explanation:
An economic equilibrium is when the agents are optimizing their decisions and opposing market forces are equal. This point allows the economic agents to maximize their utility and any change from this point will cause all agents to move away from potential maximum benefits.
In a natural equilibrium there is usually no government intervention so option A is false. Option B gives only one agent potential benefits and as such there is no equilibrium. Option D is conditional and may or may not happen as when the agents find missing information they would optimize again and move to an equilibrium.
Hope that helps.
Basically, the Sarbanes Oxley Act was not a single Act, but a series of Acts that were designed to expand starting requirements for companies such as firms and overall businesses. Section 404 is one of the Acts that are specifically set on the company's control on their financial reports made. As a result, internal management or more commonly known as the Internal Affairs program of a company must provide a detailed and clear-written (straight-to-the-point) report on the company's structure (how they do things) and creating, or establishing, a set of procedures on how they plan to report their financial status.
I would say that all of the following are steps to help you be a good problem solver except B and C. You need to define the problem and then set about creating solutions. For example, if it is becoming too expensive to haul ore out of an open pit because it its too deep so the haulage costs are prohibitive, then a potential solution involves decreasing haulage costs by shortening the haul which can be resolved by extending in pit conveyors and crusher down close to the ore deep within the pit.
Good judgement is important in making decisions when budgeting because they can allow one to predict fairly accurately what the costs will be of a particular project based on one's own experience and of the current prices of supplies and say drilling charge rates and also with an adequate allowance for contingency.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The GDP or gross domestic product measures the market value of all goods and services produced in country in a specific period of time. This year GDP should not include the log-splitter because Sally purchased it five years ago. We should include this year purchases: new parts, gasoline, oil. Also, we should include the market value of the 2 hours she spent repairing the log-splitter if she paid someone to do it or if someone paid her to do it, because this is a service. But the problem suggests that she repaired her own log-splitter, then we should not include it this year GDP.
