Choose the correct definition of purchasing power parity.

In the 1950s, imports and exports of goods and services constituted roughly 4% to 5% of U.S. GDP. In recent years, exports have

barxatty [35]

Answer:

a) An increasing number of import quotas

b) Better high-speed rail lines

c) Improvements in telecommunications

d) International trade agreements such as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)

Explanation:

All of the above applies as in order to increase the international trade.

As with the increase in quotas there is a pressure to increase the imports. Further when there is easy chain of supply even in the international market that is railway facility is smooth and that the telecommunications is also easy.

Further, with increased trade agreements there is provision of reduced tariffs and taxes and accordingly the international exchange is not complicated and is rather smooth.

For the following demand equation compute the elasticity of demand and determine whether the demand is elastic, unitary, or inel

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Note: While answering this question, there is a confusion as to whether the correct demand equation is p= 157 − x2 as it appears in the question, or p= 157 − x^2 which is suspected to be the correct equation. Whichever the case may be, answers are provided for the two equations. Just confirm from the original question or your teacher which one is correct and pick the relevant answer out of the two following answers:

1. If p= 157 − x2 is the correct equation:

Elasticity of demand = - 0.15

Since -0.15 in absolute term |-0.15| is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.

2. If p= 157 − x^2 is the correct equation:

Elasticity of demand = - 0.28

Since -0.28 in absolute term |-0.28| is less than 1, the demand is also inelastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is the degree of responsive of quantity demanded of a good to change in its price.

For this question, elasticity of demand can be computed using the formula for calculating the elasticity of demand as follows:

1. If p= 157 − x2 is the correct equation

E = Elasticity of demand = (p / x) * (dx / dp) ............................... (1)

From the question, we have:

p = 157 − x2.

Therefore, we solve for as follows:

x2 = 157 - p

x = (157 - P) / 2

x = 78.5 - 0.5p ....................................................... (2)

Differentiating equation (2) with respect to p, we have:

dx/dp = -0.5

Substituting values for dx/dp and x into equation (1), we have:

E = [p / (78.5 - 0.5p)] * (-0.5)

Since p = 20, we have:

E = [20 / (78.5 - (0.5 * 20))] * (-0.5)

E = [20 / (78.5 - 10)] * (-0.5)

E = − 0.15

Since -0.15 in absolute term |-0.15| is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.

2. If p = 157 − x^2 is the correct equation

E = (p / x) * (dx / dp) ............................................ (1)

From the question, we have:

p = 157 − x^2.

Therefore, we solve for as follows:

x = 157^(1/2) – p^(1/2)

x = 157^0.5 – p^0.5 ........................................... (2)

Differentiating equation (2) with respect to p, we have:

dx/dp = -0.5p^(-0.5) = -0.5/p^0.5

Substituting values for dx/dp and x into equation (1), we have:

E = (p / x) * (dx / dp)

E = [p / (157^0.5 – p^0.5)] * [ -0.5/p^0.5]

Since p = 20, we have:

E = [20 / (157^0.5 – 20^0.5)] * [–0.5/20^0.5]

E = - 0.28

Since -0.28 in absolute term |-0.28| is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.

svetlana [45]

Answer: Contract manufacturing.

Explanation:

Contract manufacturing is the outsourcing of some production activities that were formerly done by the producer to a third party. An organization may outsource certain parts for a product.

Contract manufacturing is the practice of giving out part of a work to outside sources rather than completing all the work within the company. It results in lower expenses and costs.

An internal control system consists of all policies and procedures used to protect assets, ensure reliable accounting, promote e

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. True

Separation of record keeping for assets from custody over assets in custody over assets reduces theft and fraud . except in a case of collusion.

Fraud and theft of assets can be easily perpetrated and covered up when an individual combines the role.

2. False

Internal control focuses more on the internal operation of an organization rather than the external. Even though it can still be of impact in checking the excesses of external parties like the government agencies , but that is not its primary objective

3.True

Internal control's main objectives can be best accomplished when there is an operational system with managerial policies that protect waste , fraud and theft , being the major factors targeted to control

4.False

Separating the responsibility for a transaction between two or more individuals or departments is a major way of preventing creation of fictitious invoices and payment as it could have easily be detected if different individuals are involved in approval and payment of invoices.
