In your own words, interpret what 33% of all goods and property are owned by 1% of the

Radda [10]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

It means that there must be a huge number of people that have little or nothing.

The most recent estimate of America's population is 331,000,000 roughly

1% of the population is 331,000,000 * 1/100 = 3,310,000

So that means that 3 million people own 33% of 14 trillion in property alone. These numbers are really hard to imagine.

1 trillion has 12 zeros behind it

so 14 trillion has 12 zeros behind it.

3 million people own 1,400.000,000 = 14 000 000 000 000 dollars worth of property.

That means that each person in that group of 3 million is 1 of 14 , 000, 000 in wealth just in property alone. The goods will dilute this somewhat, but I think you get the idea.

3 million people in the United States are multimillionaires, if they own 100% of the property. Of course that isn't true, but I think it's fair to say that they are not poor either.

Barriers to International Trade Countries often use various government regulations to manipulate the amount of goods and service
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

1. Embargoes and sanctions

When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.

2. Tariffs

This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.

3. Import Quota

Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.

4. Tariff.

This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.

5. Import Quota.

This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.

6. Embargoes and Sanctions.

This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The correct answer here is Cash basis.

Explanation:

One of the methods of recording accounting transactions for income and expenses is cash basis accounting , where the transactions are only recorded when income is received in cash or expenses are paid in cash. This accounting method is not accepted by GAAP (Generally accepted accounting principle ) and IFRS ( International financial reporting standards ) because this method violates the income ( revenue ) and expense recognition principle.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Explanation:

If there is a new co worker hired in my office, and its her beginning days, and I, along with other team members see that she is not as productive as other members of the team are, and we all have to work more and harder to make up for her work. So i would preferably give her advice and tips for how to get things done correctly and efficiently. I would not like to get her out of the office, rather i will try to make her understand the things as soon as possible and give her tips to increase her work efficiency. But if the problem continues, and I believe that she will not be able to cope up with us, then i will talk to the supervisor and suggest him that she might not be the best role for us. But i will go with option C.
