Answer:

When something is vague, it is not being specific but when something is ambiguous, it has multiple meanings and so can be open to interpretation.

a. Middle class ⇒ Both VAGUE and AMBIGUOUS

Middle class is non specific because it is used as a blanket term for people or things not in either first or lower class. It also has multiple meanings.

b. Odd number ⇒ NEITHER

c. Gold ⇒ AMBIGUOUS

Gold has several meanings such as being a mineral, medium of exchange or even a color.

d. Bank ⇒ AMBIGUOUS

Bank also has different meanings. It could be a financial institution, land next to water or even a repository for blood.

e. Opportunity ⇒ VAGUE

Opportunity is vague unless the opportunity is described.

f. Jaguar ⇒ AMBIGUOUS

Jaguar has multiple means. It could be a animal or it could be a car.

g. Credit ⇒ AMBIGUOUS

Credit has several meaning as well. It could refer to loans, financial entry, increase in bank account etc.

Suppose Germany, a large country, imposes a tariff on tuna imports. Before the tariff, all the countries in the world are engage
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. This is true.

The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.

2. This is true.

German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.

3. This statement is false.

The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.

4. This statement is true.

If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.

5. This is false.

Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.

Most resources are nonrenewable, and wants and needs are limited. This is an example of?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

scarcity.

Explanation:

Scarcity can be defined as an economical problem that gives the relationship between non-renewable (limited) resources and the limitless wants and needs of consumers.

Basically, it's very important that producers of goods and services make decisions that would help them on how to efficiently allocate scarce or limited resources, in order to meet the unending requirements, wants and needs of consumers.

In Economics, an example of scarcity is that most of the resources used for the manufacturing of finished goods and services are nonrenewable, and as a result, the wants and needs of the end users or consumers are limited. Thus, economists would advise that economies should decide on what to produce, how to produce, when to produce and for whom to produce due to the finite and limited nature of resources i.e the concept of scarcity.

Which one of the following is NOT likely to be a result of deflation? Question 1 options: Menu costs will increase People will b
suter [353]

Answer:

Wealth will be redistributed from creditors to debtors

Explanation:

Deflation refers to the general fall in the price level of goods and services when rate of inflation becomes lesser than 0%.

Due to the fall in the price level, goods and services become cheaper, credit providers reduce the quantum of credit provided.

Fall in the prices leads to lower expenditure by the purchasers owing to lower level of confidence and such buyers delay their purchases.

Deflation increases the purchasing power of consumers since at the same level of income, buyers can now buy more compared to previously.

Hence, those who earn fixed pension observe an increase in the value of such pension.
