Answer:
These statements are correct:
In a command economy, state-owned enterprises have little incentive to control costs and be efficient.
In a command economy, the absence of competition means that state-owned enterprises do not have incentive to be efficient. This is because In command economies, these companies are most of the time monopolies who have a safer market to sell their products, because consumers lack choice.
Mixed economies were once uncommon throughout much of the world, although they are becoming more popular now.
Most economies now are mixed: in part free market economies, in part command economies. For example, in most developed countries, most sectors are left for private companies to compete, but a few areas are still directly controlled by the government, either fully or partially (for example: the healthcare sector, and education).
Answer:
The income elasticity of demand for chocolate by this consumer is about 1.90
Explanation:
the change in quantity = (6 - 5)/(6 + 5)
= 0.091
the change in income = (330 - 300)/(330 + 300)
= 0.048
the income elasticity = 0.091/0.048
= 1.90
Therefore, The income elasticity of demand for chocolate by this consumer is about 1.90
Answer: 1. 12. 2. 1.090. 3. 0.08327
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
friend and fellow student shares her employment experience over the last 12-week summer break. It took her one full week to find a job. She started on the first day of week two and was able to keep her job for the remaining eleven weeks. Use this information to answer the following three questions, assuming the unemployment rate is not changing:
1. Calculate the rate of job finding (f) for the summer, using an average rate per week. Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).
The value of f is:
2. Calculate the rate of job separation (s), using an average rate per week. Enter this value into the box below. Note that if s is the rate of job separation, then the average length of employment is (1/s).
The value of s is:
3. Calculate the natural rate of unemployment (U) using the above results and enter this value in the box below.
The natural rate of unemployment (in percent) is
1. From the question, we can see that it was said that took her one full week to get a job over the last 12 week summer break. The unemployment rate will be 12.
The value of f is: 12
2. From the question, the average length of the employment is 11/12 weeks. The rate of job separation will be: s = 12weeks ÷ 11 weeks
s = 1.090
The value of s is: 1.090
3. The natural rate of unemployment will be:
U = s/(s+f)
= 1.090/(1.090 + 12)
= 1.090/13.090
= 0.08327
Answer:
The correct answer is <em>d. Canada requires fewer resources than the U.S. to produce a bushel of wheat.</em>
Explanation:
A country (in this case Canada) has a comparative advantage over another country (in this case the United States) to produce a certain product (in this case wheat) if the production costs of that product (wheat) are less than from the other country, regardless of the opportunity cost of producing that other product in that country.
The comparative advantage is based on the fact that the country has developed greater efficiency in the use of resources or that it has greater ease of access to them due to better conditions of nature, greater technological development in the field in question, human capital more specialized in that economic field, etc.
The opportunity cost of producing a product or another in the same country does not affect a deterioration or increase of the comparative advantage developed to produce such a product.
Answer: 2.63
Explanation:
The Market to Book ratio is also referred to as the price to book ratio. It is a financial evaluation of the market value of a company relative to its book value. It should be noted that the market value is current stock price of every outstanding shares that the company has while the book value is the amount that the company will have left after its assets have been liquidated and all liabilities have been repaid.
The market-to-book ratio will be the market price per share divided by the book value. It should be noted that the book value per share is the net worth of the business divided by the number of outstanding shares. The book value will be:
= [(12500 ×1) + $21200]/12500
= ($12500 + $21200)/$12500
= $33700/12500
=$2.70
The market-to-book ratio will now be:
= $7.10/$2.70
=2.63
