<h3>
Answer: D) increase in prices</h3>
An increase in prices will reduce demand, and not supply. You could have an increase in prices due to a shortage, but price increases could also be from a number of other factors, one of which is demand increasing.
Meanwhile, war, scarcity and extreme weather all are possible factors of a shortage. So we can cross choices A,B,C off the list.
Answer:
yes
Explanation:
Based on this scenario, it can be said that yes the attorney's actions are proper because the referral fee was reasonable. A standard referral fee percentage could be around 10% for a closed job, starting at around 2-5% for e-mail introductions and even up to 15-20% for referrals where the referrer deals alone with the client. As long as the referral fee is reasonable and the attorney is not taking advantage then his/her actions are proper and ethical.
c) a big recording company buys a small independent label
It is typical in capitalistic economies for larger companies to buy out their competition, absorbing smaller companies. This kind of economic change can result in large changes in management for the smaller companies because the company that now owns them may hire or fire people based on what they feel best meets the needs of the newly acquired company.
Answer: Market Efficiency
Explanation:
It is important that the Government as a regulator should not get involved in acts that would protect individual institutions from failure because that would defeat the whole purpose of a competitive industry.
If a government is known to directly involve itself in the protection of institutions from failure, efficiency in institutions may become low because of the lack of fear of failure as companies believe that should they run into bad times, they will simply be bailed out by the government so there is no need for them to maintain a competitive edge.
This can lead to a situation where we have companies performing sub optimally in an economy which can only act to reduce the Economic growth of a country.
Government institutions usually have such backing and in a lot of countries are prone to failure. Look at the Bamangwato Concessions Limited (BCL) mine in Botswana for instance that kept failing and refusing to improve it's efficiency because they could always run back to the government for a bailout. Their position eventually became so untenable that bankruptcy was the only option.
Answer:
Many people's wealth is held in stocks and as the price of stocks collapsed, they lost wealth.
Imagine that this happened to you. One day you are rich and that affects your spending habits. In a matter of few days or weeks, you lose a large portion of your wealth. So now, you are less rich or even poor. So your spending habits will be altered, i.e. you will spend less.
If you consider the economy as a whole, aggregate demand will fall, resulting in a decrease of aggregate supply, and an overall decrease of the GDP.
