Which of the following are correct descriptions of large corporations? (You may select more than one answer. Single click the bo
erik [133]

Answer:

  • The corporation survives even if managers are dismissed.
  • Shareholders can sell their holdings without disrupting the business.

Explanation:

Large corporations are not as easy to dissolve as other types of companies because they have other resources that are able to keep them going if they lose some. One of those resources could be a manager. Should a manager be dismissed, the corporation will survive and simply replaced the dismissed manager.

Also with such corporations, the shareholders can simply sell their shares and the business's operation will not be disrupted as the shareholders do not have any direct say over the day to day running of the business.

inysia [295]

Answer: Air travel is a normal good and vacation travel by car is an inferior good

Explanation: What is a normal good and what is an inferior good.

Normal goods are those goods for which the demand rises as consumer income rises. While inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when consumer income decreases.

This therefore means that the demand of inferior goods is inversely related to the income of the consumer.

From the question above, we can say that car trips are inferior goods while the air travel are normal goods.

Suppose gdp in this country is $800 million. enter the amount for government purchases. national income account value (millions
Bess [88]

Answer:

Therefore government purchases is $300 million

Explanation:

In this case, GDP is the sum of consumption, investment, and government purchases. To calculate the value of consumption we use the formula:

CC + II + GG = Y

GG = Y - CC - II

Where:

government purchases = GG

taxes minus transfer payments (TT) = $260 million

consumption (CC) = $300 million

investment (II) = $300 million

Y = country GDP = $800 million

GG = Y - CC - II

Substituting:

GG = $800 million - $300 milllion - $300 million

GG = $200 million

Therefore government purchases is $300 million
