Answer: Balance of Trade
Explanation:
<em>Balance of trade</em> is the difference between the value of exports from a country and the value of imports into the country. When the value of exports is greater than imports, the balance of trade is positive and the country has a <em>trade surplus</em>. While, when the value of exports is less than the value of imports, the balance of trade is negative and the country has a <em>trade deficit</em>.
In this case, Wichasha's exports is higher than the total value of its imports so, it has a trade surplus or positive balance of trade.
Answer:
a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?
So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.
c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.
This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.
d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?
Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.
Answer:
30 in total
Explanation:
In order to calculate how many items A we can produce we need to check how many units required we have, in this case, we have:
40 B's
50 C's
15 D's
We require 2 units of C, 1 Unit of B, and 1 unit of C.
As you can see in our inventory we only have 15 units of D's, meaning that that is our maximum number of items A produced this week, since we already have 15 A items, we can deliver 30 A products this week.
Answer:
the difference between operating incomes under absorption costing and variable costing is $180,000 .
