Domestic producers of steel rods send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions

on imports of steel rods. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. steel-rod industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on steel rods, the domestic steel-rod industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on steel rods?

a Jobs argument
b. National-security argument
c. Infant-industry argument
d. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
e. Unfair-competition argument

Answer:

C. Infant-industry argument

Explanation:

The lobbyst is using the infant-industry argument because he is claiming that all that the emerging national industry needs is some temporary trade restrictions until it can develop enough to compete.

This argument is very commonly used against free trade, and is based on the belief that national industries should be allowed to grow in isolation before opening up the markets. The problem with this argument is what happens if the national industry remains uncompetitive even after a long period of trade restrictions.

FrozenT [24]

The total fixed cost is $150 and the total cost is $300.

What is total fixed cost?

Total fixed cost means the fixed per unit multiplied by the number of units at that level of production, from the table average fixed cost, in other words, fixed cost per unit is $25, in essence, total fixed cost is computed thus:

total fixed cost=average fixed cost*units

average fixed cost=$25

units=6

total fixed cost=$25*6

total fixed cost=$150

The fact the fixed cost is $150 means that the option which has total fixed cost $150 and total cost as $300 is the most appropriate , however, we would determine below how $300 of total cost was derived.

What is total cost?

Total cost is the sum of the total fixed cost plus the total variable cost

Total cost=total fixed cost+ total variable cost

total variable cost=average variable cost*units

average variable cost( from the cost data)=$25

total variable cost=$25*6

total variable cost=$150

total cost=$150+$150

total cost=$300

In essence, the correct option is the third one, where total fixed cost is $150 and the total cost is $300

What are “discount points” in closing costs and what is the benefit of paying them?

This is also called “buying down the rate,” which can lower your monthly mortgage payments.One point costs 1 percent of your mortgage amount (or $1,000 for every $100,000),<span>In general, the longer you plan to own the home, the more points help you save on interest over the life of the loan. When you consider whether points are right for you, it helps to run the numbers.</span>

Why don't supply restriction programs work well in increasing farm prices and income?
Tju [1.3M]
Supply restricted program heavily reduce the amount of products that sold in the market (that mostly came from import) in order to increase the price and income for local business.
But one thing that needed to be considered is, when the price is increased, the demand for that product will decrease at the same time, so eventually the sellers will have to bring the price down again to increase the demand.
