Answer:

A)Producers raise prices to continue to make a profit.

Explanation:

The inflationary spiral is the effect that the rise on average prices of production costs produces on the economy, after that rise on the production costs, producers rise the final cost of the product in order to mantain a reasonable profit on the sell of the products and this starts the inflationary spiral.

<u>The direct effect of an increase in production costs is that the producers will raise their prices in order to continue to make profits.  </u>

Further explanation:

The producers respond immediately to changes in any variable that affects their profits. An increase in production costs as the beginning of the inflationary spiral will reduce the profits of the firms. As a result, the producers will respond immediately to this by increasing the prices they charged in order to continue to make a profit.

Justification for the correct and incorrect answer:

A) Producers raise prices to continue to make a profit: This option is correct.

As a result of a rise in the production costs in the inflationary spiral, the profits of the producers will lower down. The producers will respond immediately to it by increasing the prices so as to continue to make a profit.

B) The government prints more money and lowers its value: This option is incorrect.

The government will use measures to control inflation in the form of printing more money when inflation actually occurs not before the inflation. The rise in the production costs would not induce the government to start printing more money and lowers its value.

C) Workers negotiate with employers to receive more money: This option is incorrect.

The workers attempts to negotiate with employers to get more money when the prices of goods rise. With an increase in prices, the workers' nominal wages lower down and thus, they demand higher wages. An increase in the production costs would not induce the workers to negotiate with employers for a higher nominal wage.

D) Consumers need higher wages to keep up with rising prices: This option is incorrect.

The workers will surely need higher wages in order to keep up with the rising prices. But, the need of consumers for higher wages will not be a direct impact of a rise in production costs as the prices have not increased yet.  

Therefore, producers will raise their prices in order to make profits as a direct effect of a rise in production costs.

True or False? Croft (2018) reflects on John Adair’s research on the traits of leaders. Adair’s conclusions are meaningful in ad
Leokris [45]

The correct answer is true.

It is true that according to Croft(2018), leaders are made. This means the following. Leadership skills can be learned through many sources and experiences. Talent is important and some individuals have pure and raw talent when they born. However, talent is not everything. People need to invest in developing what it takes to become a true leader. So the best thing to do when you do not have talent is preparing, practicing, and ask. Then, put into practice what you learn and start by setting the example. The best way to lead others is not through orders but by example.

liq [111]

Answer:

The response is Option D.  New grain crops developed in the Green Revolution is NOT something that contributed to worldwide population growth at that time.

Explanation:

The Green Revolution refers to a push towards technological advancement and agriculturally engineered outputs like high-yielding varieties and crops in the 1950s and 1960s. It was particularly impactful in developing countries where there had yet to be much industrialization or mechanization of food production. Advances in irrigation and the use of chemical fertilizers also helped to increase food production in these areas in the 1950s and 1960s. Research institutes studying specific staple crops were established like the  International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines in 1960.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

It is not always necessary to lie.

Explanation:

Lying is not "always" a necessity. Most times, people tell lies to get away from a situation: to deny allegations, to escape punishment or even to escape from shame of the moments. people that lie, if properly investigated, have something they are hiding or they usually have a bad situation (although not always) they want to get away from. This is why people lie. More so, some people also lie to cover their excesses or to gain advantage over a situation. This is the reason why when a person lies, he or she has broken the trust put in him or her by friends, family, colleagues and even bosses. So can we now say that, it is justifiable to break the heart of our loved ones because lie is a necessity? No! When a person is caught lying, trust goes out the window in most cases, and it has to be rebuilt again, all in the name of lie necessary.

From the situations stated above, it can therefore be concluded that, lying is not necessary if people are willing to face the consequence of  their actions or if they can stand the shame of their actions also.
