Answer:
The correct answer is: firms are unlikely to undertake investment.
Explanation:
The liquidity trap is a situation described in the Keynesian economy according to which, liquidity injections into the private banking system by the central bank do not lower interest rates or inject money into the economy and therefore do not stimulate economic growth as claimed by monetarism.
The liquidity trap occurs when people accumulate cash because they expect an adverse event, such as deflation, reduction in aggregate demand and GDP, an increase in the unemployment rate or a war. People are not buying, companies are not borrowing and banks are not lending either because they do not have enough solvency since the economic outlook is uncertain and investors do not invest because the expected returns on investments are low.
The most common characteristics of a liquidity trap are interest rates close to zero and fluctuations in the monetary base that do not translate into fluctuations in general price levels.
Answer: 0.48
Explanation:
P(A/B) = P(AnB)/P(B) where:
P(A/B) = The probability of event A occurring given that B has occurred.
P(AnB) = The probability of both events A and B occurring.
P(B) = the probability that event B occurs.
So let
P(A) = Probability that the residents of a household own 2 cars.
P(B) = Probability that the annual household income is greater than $25,000.
The question tells us that
P(A/B) = 0.8
Note that: P(A) = 0.7, P(B) = 0.6.
Since we want to work out P(AnB), because it gives the probability that residents have an annual household income over $25,000 and own 2 cars.
We would Rearrange our initial equation to make P(AnB) the subject formula becoming;
P(A/B) = P(AnB)/P(B)
P(B)*P(A/B) = P(AnB)
So, inserting our probabilities into this equation gives:
0.6*0.8 = 0.48
Answer:
Differences in abilities and talents
Explanation:
Income inequality refers to variation or discrepancy between income levels of individuals. Income inequality arises on various accounts one of which being, difference in abilities and talents.
All individuals possess different skill sets and their efficiencies vary too. Some individuals are more creative and talented than others while some are more laborious and hardworking.
Each skill set has it's own demand and thus, income is fixed as per the demand of a particular skill set for a given sector.
This leads to some earning lot more than others and differences in pay scales as per the abilities individuals possess.

Patents and Copyrights are amortized based on their useful life, not their legal life
It should be noted that Goodwill is not amortized
1. Debit 'Amortization Expense - Copyrights' $15,900 [($79500/ 5)]
Credit 'Copyrights' $15,900
2. Debit 'Amortization Expense - Patents' 18,800 [($112,800 / 5 ) x (10 /12 )]
Credit 'Patents' $18,800

Answer:
An opportunity.
Explanation:
Businesses conduct a SWOT analysis when they want to identify their internal weaknesses and strengths, it is also used to identify external opportunity and threats.
Firms use the analysis to develop a competitive strategy in the market by taking advantage of opportunities presented while mitigating risk posed by threats in the industry.
