Some of the social factors that have led to unemployment in South Africa amongst the youth are:
- High population growth.
- High poverty rates.
As a result of high population growth, the number of youth in South Africa has increased to a point where getting jobs for all of them is quite difficult.
High poverty rates also mean that a lot of the youth are unable to afford a tertiary education which means that they are unable to get the qualifications needed for a job.

Answer:
Willingness to pay
Revenue
Two
Elastic
Inelastic
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when a producer or a seller charges different prices for the same product usually in different markets.
In price discrimination, a seller attempts to remove or reduce consumer surplus by charging the consumer at his willingness to pay. For price discrimination to be effective, a seller must be able to estimate the willingness to pay of consumers.
Price discrimination is successful when a seller earns higher profits when she discriminates compared to when she didn't price discriminate.
Price discrimination exists in the airline industry. One of the ways price discrimination exists in the airline industry is through charging to check bags. Customers ( people who board airplanes) are distributed into two groups- those who won't pay to check bags and those who would pay to check bags.
It is assumed that those who would pay to check their bags have a price inelastic demand because they are indifferent to paying an extra amount for their luggage.
Inelastic demand is defined as when a small change in price has no effect on quantity demanded.
While it is assumed that those who won't pay to check their bags have an elastic demand because they are unwilling to pay extra to check their luggages.
Elastic demand is when a change in price has effect on quantity demanded.
Answer:
11 years
Explanation:
For computing, the number of years or the account will be fully depleted we need to apply the NPER formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $100,000
Future value = $0
PMT = $12,000
Rate of interest = 5%
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(Rate;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the number of years in which the account is depleted is 11 years
Answer:
D) Stock prices of companies that announce increased earning in January tend to outperform the market in February.
Explanation:
The above is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. All others are a direct contravention.
<em>The efficient market hypothesis (EMH), also known as the efficient market theory, is a hypothesis that states that the prices of shares contain all information and that consistent alpha generation is impossible.</em>
According to the hypothesis, stocks always trade at their fair value on exchanges, making it impossible for investors to purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices.
This means that it should not be possible to outperform the overall market through professional stock selection or market timing.
The only way according to EMH that an investor can obtain better returns is by purchasing riskier investments.
By implication, this also means that it is not possible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information.
You would note that in the option D, earning (which is a key driver for demand of stock) is announced in one month. The natural reaction would be for the demand for that stock to surge in the next month.
Answer:
Instructions are listed below
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The following is the cost of each unit:
Materials $ 36.00
Labor 14.00
Variable overhead 4.00
Fixed overhead ($1,890,000/105,000 units) 18.00
Total $ 72.00
Simpson Company has approached Andreasen with an offer to buy 8,000 thermostats for $60 each. The regular price is $100.
Simpson requires that each unit use its branding, which requires a more expensive label, resulting in an additional $2.00 per unit material cost. The Simpson order will also require a one-time rental of packaging equipment for $30,000.
Because this is a special offer and we have unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.
A)
Costs:
Materials $ 36.00
Labor 14.00
Variable overhead 4.00
Label= 2
Total variable cost= $56
Total cost= 56*8000 + 30000= $478,000
B) Sales= 8000*60= $480,000
Costs= 478,000
Gross profit= 2,000
The offer is profitable.
C) break-even point= fixed costs/ contributionmargin= 30000/ (60-56)= 7500 units
