Answer:

an increase in the working population

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontier (PPF) is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.  

The PPF can shift either inward or outward.

An outward shift is associated with an increase in output while an inward shift is associated with a reduction in output.

Factors that cause the PPF to shift

1. changes in technology. technological progress leads to outward shift of the PPF. introduction of "fiber optic" technology would shift the PPF outward.

2. changes in available resources. a land reclamation program would increase the land available for production and this would increase output. While an explosion destroying a chemical plant would reduce output and lead to an inward shift of the PPF

3. changes in the labour force. A decrease in unemployment would increase output and shift the the PPF outward

Working population is the number of people between 15-59.

Garcia Company reports the following information: Net operating income after taxes $100,000 Before-tax operating income $300,000
Andrew [12]

Answer:

B) $50,000

Explanation:

Cost of Capital is the rate which is required by the capital investment by the shareholders or owners of the business. Residual Income is the portion of net income after paying the investors of the company. This income is reinvested or retained by the business.

Net operating Income after tax = $100,000

Average Invested Capital = $500,000

Cost of Capital = $500,000 x 10% = $50,000

Residual Income = Net Income - Cost of capital

Residual Income = $100,000 - $50,000

Residual Income = $50,000

Who pays the tax does depend on who writes the check to the government?
mina [271]
Who pays the tax does NOT depend on who write the check to the government.
Who pays the check ultimately depend on the elasticity of supply and demand. This is because, suppliers have several ways of passing the taxes levied on them by the government to the consumers in form of increase in price of their products. But this also depend on the elasticity of the products, because if the prices are too high, some customers may decide to buy somewhere else or to go for a substitute.<span />

Role of central government in regional development​
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The central government is, essentially, the public body in charge of managing the nation's resources and controlling compliance with the laws. In other words, it applies its power within the entire national territory, but in turn delegating certain powers to state and local governments, which have a much stronger contact with the population of cities and states. Thus, within the regional development process in each nation, local and state governments are the main executors of development policies, but with the supervision and guidance of central governments.
