Marketing and sales innovations make use of advertising to create awareness about products. Advertising is a kind of communication which typically persuade people to buy an idea, product or service. Advertisers usually intentionally create messages to convince the consumers that they need the product that is been advertised. Along with advertising, companies also provide innovative means by which consumers can engage in wide scale shopping. All these encourages consumers to acquire goods and to increase their consumption of diverse products; this leads to conspicuous consumerism in America.
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
In 2010,
Real GDP = 600,000
Population = 5,000
Real GDP per person:
= Real GDP ÷ Population
= 600,000 ÷ 5,000
= 120
In 2011,
Real GDP = 636,480
Population = 5,200
Real GDP per person:
= Real GDP ÷ Population
= 636,480 ÷ 5,200
= 122.4
Growth rate of real GDP per person during the year 2011:
= [(Real GDP per person in 2011 - Real GDP per person in 2010) ÷ Real GDP per person in 2010] × 100
= [(122.4 - 120) ÷ 120] × 100
= (2.4 ÷ 120) × 100
= 0.02 × 100
= 2%
It was seen from the data available on the world bank that the United states real GDP per person is growing at an average rate of 2% between 1910 and 2010.
Hence, the Growth rate of real GDP per person during the year 2011 is about the same as average U.S. growth over the last one-hundred years.
Answer:
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Explanation:
A marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be defined as an economic principle which is typically used to represent the rate at which a factor such as capital must decrease so that the same level or quantity of production is maintained when another factor such as labor is changed (increased).
An isoquant is the slope of a marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) which connects the two input factors provided that the level of output or production is the same.
Also, the diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution refers to the decline (fall) in marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) along an isoquant that produces the same quantity (level) of output.
When an isoquant has a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution, the corresponding isoquants are convex to the origin. Thus, the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) would continue to diminish as more of a factor such as capital is used.
If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Answer:
it is frequently because of the non controlling interest, as these amounts do not appear on the separate companies' general ledgers.
Explanation:
Under consolidation where the investment in a company is not 100% and the investment is in between 50 - 100% then there is a minority interest calculated.
This is shown as a part of liability in the balance sheet.
Minority interest reflects the balance of non controlling interest in the company, and that it is a complete balance sheet part and is not stated in the income statement of the company.
As this is not a part of general accounting transaction it is not reflected in general ledger, and thus, it is the figure that is generally not stated in the consolidated balance sheet, which leads to mismatch the balance sheet.
Answer:
Diversification
Explanation:
Diversification occurs when business expands its operations to include new product and service offerings different from what the company produces initially.
At the government level, diversification occurs when government authorities develop other sectors just to increase revenue. For example many developing countries are commodity dependent economies (Angola is heavily dependent on oil export to generate revenue). To diversify, the government may want to develop the agricultural and services sectors of their economy to earn more revenue.
