Answer:

B. No, no free entry

Explanation:

With a patent granted to one pharmaceutical company to produce and sell an experimental AIDs drug, all doors of free entry and exit have been locked against other pharmaceutical companies.  This implies that one of the major ideals of a competitive market is violated.  Without free entry and exit, there cannot be many sellers, and we cannot discuss about the possibility of firms producing identical products because there is only one drug.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Henry is the intended beneficiary of the insurance policy and as such, he is bound to the time limitations and all the other clauses included in the contract.

Assume that the labor market for barbers is competitive and that it is differentiated into two groups:
ehidna [41]

Answer and Explanation:

I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:

The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.

The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.

The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.

The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.

Hence the answer is D.

The capital-to-labor ratio is:Question 40 options:a) a key element in decreasing real wages.b) high in rich countries.c) the rat
andrezito [222]

Answer:

b) high in rich countries.

Explanation:

Capital-to- labour ratio measure the degree of capitalisation of an economy.

Labour is the service that is given by workers in exchange for salaries in the production process.

Capital is the long term input that is put into the manufacturing process, usually in the form of machinery or systems that automate production.

Capital-to-labour ratio= Total capital/ Total labour

Rich countries have a high level of capitalisation of their production process, where a lot of activity is automated. So capital is high and labour input is low. This results in a high capital-to-labour ratio.

On the other hand poor countries are more labour inensive, so their capital-to-labour ratio is low.
