Answer:

Market supply is much more elastic in the long run than the short run.

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question :

In the long run, average total cost is minimized

Market supply is much less elastic in the long run than the short run.

In the long run, price equals marginal cost.

Market supply is much more elastic in the long run than the short run.

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

When the supply curve is horizontal or nearly so, it means that supply is highly elastic. a small change in price would greatly affect the quantity supplied.

Answer: Limited liabilities and partnerships

Explanation:

Limited liabilities mean that the partners within the firm are only liable to pay off their debts with the amount they had invested as capital in the company. Partnership is an agreement between certain number of partners to share the profit and loss of the company. In this case since there is a 50/50 allocation of profits and there are only 2 partners therefore, this is a limited liability partnership.

Angelo invested $4,000 into two accounts. One account paid 4% interest and the other paid 9% interest. He earns 6% interest on t
inn [45]

Answer:

$2,400 was placed in the account earning 4%, and $1,600 was placed in the account earning 9%

Explanation:

In this case, we have two unknowns, so in order to be solved, we need to find two equations.

We know that amount 1, that we call x, plus amount 2, we call y, is 4000.  

<em>x + y = 4000</em>

Also we know, when we add the interest earned on amount 1 to the interest earned on amount 2, the total interest is 6% of 4000, it means: 240

<em>0.04x+0.09y=240</em>

So, we have two equations with two unknowns

<em>x + y = 4000</em>

<em>0.04x+0.09y=240</em>

That we can solve for any method we know. We will use substitution.  Lets clear from first equation the unknown x.

x=4000-y

Then, we substitute in second equation

0.04(4000-y)+0.09y=240

And we solve:

160-0.04y+0.09y=240

0.05y=240-160

y=80/0.05=1600

Now we simply plug this into our first equation and solve for x

x+y=4000

x+1600=4000

x=4000-1600

x=2400

So, $2,400 was placed in the account earning 4%, and $1,600 was placed in the account earning 9%

Answer:

D : Cultural relativism

Explanation:

Cultural relativism is an idea that an action should be viewed in the context of the socio-cultural environment in question. If child labor is permitted in Country X, it implies that rival companies and competitors who use child labor will experience cheaper production cost and unless the multinational company does same, it may face the need to pul out of the market.
