Answer:
Basic earning per share = $3.69
Explanation:
Earning per share (EPS) = earnings available to ordinary shareholders/ number of ordinary shares
Number of ordinary shares = 390,000 × 2 = 780,000 units
Net income 2,900,000
Preferred dividend <u> ( 24,000)</u>
Earnings available to shareholders <u>2,876,000</u>
Number of ordinary shares 780,000 units
Earnings per shares = $2,876,000/780,000 units
= $3.69
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Individuals have to make choices from among alternatives.
Explanation:
Scarcity is the basic economic problem by which individuals have unlimited needs but count on limited resources to satisfy them. As a result, people must make trade-offs by which they sacrifice part of the satisfaction of one need to cover part of another need.
Scarcity pushes individuals to optimize the allocation of their resources to maximize the utility of the goods or services people use to satisfy their needs.
Answer: A - nominal wages are slow to adjust to changing economic conditions
Explanation:
In the short run, the costs of many of the factors used in the production process are fixed. For example labours wage is fixed for a number of years because of labour contracts. Also the raw materials used in the production process have long term agreements that fix their prices.
As a result of factors of production been fixed in the short run, when general price level rises and the cost of production remains constant, profit also rises.
Firms take advantage of this rise in price and increase production and the quantity of aggregate supply increases. This is why the short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.

Options:
<em>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</em>
<em>b. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall</em>
<em>c. Stay the same</em>
<em>d. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts.</em>
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Indeed, going by the law of supply and holding all other factors constant, we would expect the supply curve to shift to the left, which implies that there would be an increase in the price of carrots.
What this means is that because there are now fewer carrots in the market as a result of the effects of the bad weather, there would be scarcity and so sellers would increase prices.
