<h2>Both situations are examples of an economic problem.</h2>

Explanation:

Let us understand the term "economic problem"

Though the expectation of the people are endless, the "resources available" to satisfy the need is limited. This causes the "economic problem".

A student trying to decide how to spend his weekly allowance:

The need of student may be endless but still he is in a position to decide only based on the amount which he has to spend. He needs to prioritize the needs and then spend accordingly.

A country choosing to sacrifice some privacy to gain more security:

Under a compelled situation, the country has to sacrifice the privacy and then have to gain security. The loss due to negotiation of privacy is for sure and this leads to economic problem.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Indirect; investment.

Explanation:

John Maynard Keynes was a British economist born on the 5th of June, 1883 in Cambridge, England. He was famous for his brilliant ideas on government economic policy and macroeconomics which is known as the Keynesian theory. He later died on the 23rd of April, 1946 in Sussex, England.

The Keynesian link between the money market and the goods and services market is indirect. Changes in the money market must affect the investment market before the goods and services market is affected.

According to the Keynesian Transmission Mechanism, the link between the money market and the goods and services market is indirect; because at first, short-term interest rates are lowered by an increase in the supply of reserves and then with time both the bond and bank loan rates falls. Consequently, this would make investments and aggregate demand (AD curve shifts rightward) to rise or increase as a result of the low cost of capital for investors and by extension it boost the level of production or quantity of output (real gross domestic product or Real GDP).

<em>This ultimately implies that, the interest rates affects the real and costs of capital (monetary changes). </em>

A cost incurred in the past that is not relevant to any current decision is classified as a(n): incremental cost. opportunity co
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

sunk cost.

Explanation:

Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.

Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.

Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.

Hence, a cost incurred in the past that is not relevant to any current decision is classified as a sunk cost.

For example, ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.
