Answer:
B) the uneven distribution of gains and losses from free trade.
Explanation:
One of the most important reasons why governments impose trade barriers is to protect domestic jobs (and domestic industries). We are part of a society (country), and society's most important component is people, not money. Generally the economic gains of free trade are larger than the economic losses, but the economic losses hurt the most.
Imagine if no trade barriers actually existed, how many millions of jobs would be lost in the US. Trade barriers are nothing new, the current president didn't invent them. He just incinerated them.
How does a leader tell the people that 10 or 20 million must lose their jobs and probably will not be able to find any similar jobs in the future just because the rest of society will benefit from cheaper products. The lives of 20 million households (50-80 million people) would be destroyed, while 280 million people would benefit.
The amount of harm done to the people that lose their jobs is much greater than any individual benefit.
Answer:
The answers are:
- A) Government tax revenue minus the sum of government purchases and transfer payments to households.
- B) a budget surplus
Explanation:
The formula to calculate public saving is (T - G - TR).
- T stands for all the government revenue through taxes and tariffs.
- G stands for all the government spending including purchase of goods and provision of services.
- TR stands for all the government transfers including payments to individuals and households through social programs (including social security).
Budget surplus is the same as public saving.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": Increased inventory with decreased payables.
Explanation:
If in a general ledger there is more inventory but fewer account payables it is a clear indication that there has been a mistake recording the operations of a company or there are activities in the company that might be the result of fraud. Accounts payable represent obligations of the company to a third party because of short-term debt incurred. If there is more inventory, the logical is to have more accounts payable recorded.
