Answer:
A. The demand of wheat and corn is basically inelastic and so increases in output drastically reduce price and income to the farmers.
Explanation:
Inelastic demand means the change in price does not affect the purchasers' buying power. The difference in price has relatively little effect on the quantity demanded. Since the demand for wheat is inelastic, price and income will reduce irrespective of increasing production. Therefore, harvesting massive production (wheat or corn) does not bring a high income.
Answer:
Forbid combinations in restraint of trade and monopolizing.
Explanation:
The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 is mainly aimed at preventing anti competitive agreements and unilateral conduct by a group of businesses aligning with one another. Such alignment results in restraint of trade and monopoly.
This Act enables the Department of Justice to bring charges against violators of antitrust laws and they may face as much as treble damages (three times of the damage caused to other parties).
Artificial raising of price and restriction of supply of products or trade are prohibited under this Act.
Increase in money supply will result to result to lower interest rates. These will encourage individuals and business to avail of loans since interest rates are low. However, proper computation must be made in order to determine the level of increase in money supply. Unchecked increase in money supply may result to inflation.
Decrease in money supply will result to higher interest rates. Higher interest rates will encourage individuals or businesses to deposit their money in the banks because their deposits will earned high interests.
Answer: Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Sarah who is the controller of a large beverage supplier, supervises two employees and that her boss, Vladimir, told her to increase the company's inventory balance for an amount that is material to the financial statements by crediting several small "miscellaneous" expense accounts.
We are further told that Sarah does not know the reason behind this but told one of her staff to make them because she has been instructed to do so.
We can see that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue. She didn't evaluate the effect of what she is doing. In this case, what her boss told her to do could be a case of fraud and she just obliged without asking questions which will put her conscience at ease in case anything happens but the fact that she just did it without asking questions or thinking if what she has done is morally right or wrong, it shows that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.
