3 0

Protectionism is a government or economic policy that does not allow foreign or international trade through methods and variety of government regulations outlined to promote fair competition with the goods and services made domestically. Business and workers were protected within a country through regulating or obstructing trade with different countries.

A country should base trade policy for two reasons. 1.) It protects local businesses and jobs. 2.) It promotes fair competition on the local goods and services.

Dvinal [7]

Answer: variable; fixed

Explanation: In the short run, Kyoko's workers are variable inputs. This is because, the number of workers needed can be varied based on production needs, even in the short run. Examples are energy, labor etc.

Kyoko's ovens are fixed inputs. Fixed inputs are those inputs whose quantities cannot be changed in the short run by a firm as it seeks to change the quantity of output produced. Examples are equipment, land and building.

Suppose the production function in medieval Europe is Y 5 K 0.5L0.5, where K is the amount of land and L is the amount of labor.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

a) Y = 500

b) Wages: 2.5

Rental price: 2.5

c) labor Share of output: 0.370511713 = 37.05%

Explanation:

$Y = 4K^{0.5} \times L^{0.5}$

if K = 100 and L = 100

$Y = 5(100)^{0.5} \times (100)^{0.5}$

$Y = 50 \times 10$

Y = 500

wages: marginal product of labor = value of an extra unit of labor

dY/dL (slope of the income function considering K constant while L variable)

$ax^b = bax^{b-1}$

$Y = 5K^{0.5} \times L^{0.5}$

$Y' = 5K^{0.5} \times 0.5 L^{-0.5}$

$Y' = 2.5K^{0.5} \times L^{-0.5}$

$Y' = 2.5(\frac{K}{L})^{0.5}$

With K = 100 and L = 100

$Y' = 2.5(\frac{(100)}{(100)})^{0.5}$

Y' = 2.5

rental: marginal product of land = value of an extra unit of land

dY/dK (slope of the income function considering K variable while L constant)

$Y = 5K^{0.5} \times L^{0.5}$

$Y' = 2.5K^{-0.5} \times L^{0.5}$

$Y' = 2.5(\frac{L}{K})^{0.5}$

L = 100 K = 100

$Y' = 2.5(\frac{100}{100})^{0.5}$

Y' = 2.5

c) we use logarithmic properties:

$Y = 50 \times 10$

$log500 = log(50 \times 10)$

$log500 = log50 + log10$

50 was the land while 10 the labor

2.698970004 = 1.698970004 + 1

share of output to labor: 1/2.698970004 = 0.370511713

Bitcoin fails to satisfy which two of the three functions of money? Question 3 options: A) medium of exchange and unit of accoun

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": unit of account and store of value.

Explanation:

Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency. It is also referred to as a virtual currency or a crypto-currency. Bitcoins are held in a digital wallet and can be sent over the internet. Bitcoin transactions are authorized using a digital signature. The transactions are verified usually within minutes by a network of miners. Once verified, the transaction is permanently stored on a public ledger known as The BlockChain.

Three are the functions of money: medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account. In order to boost its use, a few merchants have started to accept Bitcoin as a medium of exchange but it still is not considered a unit of account since most items in the real world are valued in monetary terms. Also, it is not considered a store of value because, unlike money, Bitcoin cannot be saved in bank accounts earning interest. Bitcoins must be sold (at profit) to provide the holder revenues.
