Answer:

may limit the extent to which a nation specializes in producing of a particular product.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.

For instance, if you decide to invest resources such as money in a food business (restaurant), your opportunity cost would be the profits you could have earned if you had invested the same amount of resources in a salon business or any other business as the case may be.

The law of increasing opportunity costs can be defined as a principle in business which states that, if an organization or business firm continually raise (increase) its level of production, its opportunity cost also increases (rises).

Consequently, this may limit the extent to which a nation or country in any part of the world specializes in producing of a particular product so as to reduce or lower its opportunity cost.

Based on your understanding of the impact of macroeconomic factors, identify which of the following statements are true or false
lawyer [7]

Answer:

  1. True
  2. False
  3. True
  4. True

Explanation:

When an economy has a strong balance sheet and a declining budget deficit, it means that there is less need to borrow from the market which would keep rates lower.

When the economy is weakening, the Fed will try to stimulate it by engaging in actions that weaken short term interest rates so that people and businesses can borrow at lower cost and invest or buy goods and services.

When investors are worried about the riskiness of other financial assets, they usually come to safer assets like U.S. Treasury bonds so that they do not lose money and this is what happened in the credit crisis of 2008. More demand for the bonds led to a rise in their price.

As product adopters in the diffusion of innovation, members of the early majority Group of answer choices
Luden [163]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": are deliberate and use many informal social contacts.

Explanation:

Sociologist and Professor E.M. Rogers (1931-2004) proposed The Diffusion of Innovations Theory which is a concept that relates several consumers' factors with the time they take to adopt technological innovation. Those influential factors are individuals' opinions and the rate at which they can interact with the innovation. According to the theory, consumers can be classified into five (5) groups:

  • Innovators: <em>venturesome, higher educated, use multiple information sources. </em>
  • Early adopters:<em> leaders in a social setting, slightly above average education. </em>
  • Early majority:<em> deliberate, many informal social contacts. </em>
  • Late majority:<em> skeptical, below-average social status. </em>
  • Laggards:<em> fear of debt neighbors and friends are information sources.</em>
