Answer:

A

Explanation:

Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept

Because price is below equilibrium price, consumer surplus would increase and producer surplus would reduce

D. establish two separate IA firms registered with the State with one only having research personnel and the other only having sales personnel

Answer: A. establish a Chinese Wall between the research personnel and the sales personnel

Explanation: In a bid to maintain confidentiality and avoid leakage of vital information, there must be a barrier between the research personnels who makes findings on investment opportunities and packages for client needs and the sales personnels. This is because, research and investment informations are treated as classified and leakage could lead to bias, whereby some consumers will get the information and make moves before other consumers are informed via official release by the firm.

hammer [34]

Answer:

C) I, II, and III only.

  • I. May demand payment of the full amount immediately from  the sureties when the corporation defaults on the loan.
  • II. May demand payment of the full amount immediately from  the sureties even if Reuter does not attempt to recover any  amount from the collateral.
  • III. May attempt to recover up to $200,000 from the collateral and  the remainder from the sureties, even if the remainder is more  than $300,000.

Explanation:

The bank has several options in this case, depending on the financial position and net worth of the sureties and the corporation. It can decide to collect all the debt directly from them, or collect part of the debt through the collateral property, or it can go after the assets of the corporation, or any type of combination. In this case the bank has three options from which it can collect the debt and it is up to them to decide how they proceed.

Brian is a truck driver who delivers products throughout Massachusetts. His friend Chris is a traffic planner for the same state
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Assuming that you can only choose one answer, the most suitable one would be (A) Chris designs models to make traffic flow better, which enables Brian to get to his company’s warehouse faster.

Explanation:

This answer is correct because Chris is a traffic planner – thus he merely designs the traffic flow, he does not create it, thus making answer (D) incorrect. Though (B) is true, it doesn’t relate to Chris’ career, making it false as well. As for (C), the answer is not correct because Chris doesn’t design the maps of the state, he only designs the traffic flow.

Which of the following statements is true?a. A country cannot have comparative advantage in producing a certain item if it incur
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

. All countries can gain from trade if they all specialize in production according to comparative advantage

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is when a country produces a product at a lower opportunity cost when compared with its trading partners.

Absolute advantage is when a country produces more quantities of goods and services than its trading partners.

A country can still have comparative advantage in production if opportunity cost is increasing once it's opportunity cost doesn't become greater than that of its trading partners.

A country can have comparative advantage without having absolute advantage.

I hope my answer helps you.

Harley-Davidson employs a method of inventory control demanding that suppliers deliver parts and raw materials to Harley's produ
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Just-in-time  inventory management

Explanation:

Just-in-time or JIT is an inventory management approach that encourages the purchase of materials only when they are needed in the production process. The JIT approach eliminates the need for storing large quantities of material for future productions. The acquisition of materials is aligned with the production process.

By adopting JIT, a business saves on inventory costs as materials are not purchased in bulk. Wastage that results from the storage of material is also eliminated. The success of JIT depends on management ability to forecast sales accurately and working with reliable suppliers.
