Innovation often requires "creative destruction" in which the new products or technologies make previous products or technologie

s obsolete. For example, typewriters became useless when personal computers were invented. Hence, the personal computer "destroyed" the typewriter. This process of creative destruction often results in structural unemployment because workers who knew how to build and maintain the old products have skills that are no longer in demand. What is the government's role in limiting how often new products are created or in helping those workers who are displaced because of the new product?
a. The government can limit how often new products are introduced to help those workers who are displaced because of the new product.
b. The government shouldn't limit how often new products are introduced. Technological changes will always result in winners and losers, so helping those workers who are displaced because of the new product is a normative issue.
c. The government shouldn't limit how often new products are introduced. Technological changes will always result in winners and losers, so helping those workers who are displaced because of the new product is a positive issue.
d. The government can limit how often new products are introduced to help those workers who benefit from the new product

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Positive economics is a branch of economics that is concerned with explanation of economic phenomena. It is based on facts and data. It answers to what is, what was.

Normative economics, on the other hand, is concerned with judgment. It answers to what should be or what ought to be.  

Structural unemployment is caused because of a mismatch between the skills that the workers possess and the skills that the employers want.  

Innovation and technological changes will always cause structural unemployment and create winners and losers. So the government should focus on helping the displaced workers in finding new jobs, instead of limiting innovation.  

As this involves what should be done, it is a normative issue.

The Federal Trade Commission suspects Billy Williams of unlawful trade activities and has obtained evidence, claimed to be proof
pantera1 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

An agency has the power to execute the law and to bring proceedings against violators. This may be accomplished with no significant constitutional limitations on how the agency is to conduct its investigation of infractions. A search warrant is never required for subject matter observed from a public place; therefore, aerial photography of Williams' place of business can be used by the FTC as proof of wrongdoing. The FTC may also demand the production of relevant papers and documents by Williams, since the constitutional guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures does not afford much protection with regard to papers and records being investigated by an agency. Lastly, Williams has no right to a jury trial in an administrative hearing.

If the price level of what firms produce is rising across an economy, but the costs of production are constant, then:___________
Lerok [7]

Answer:

D. higher profits will induce expanded production.

Explanation:

If the price of a good increases and the cost remains the same ,profits earned would increase.

For example if price of a pen was initially $5 and rose to $7. The cost of making a pen is $3. Total profit would rise from $2 to $4.

According to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the. quantity supplied. Therefore, the higher price would attract more producers and production would increase. Existing producers would also increase output.

I hope my answer helps you.

You determined the following information for Big Rapid's Supplies: It has a receivables turnover rate of 23.5 a payables turnove
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

35 days

Explanation:

Receivables turnover rate = 23.5

Payables turnover rate = 12.5

Inventory turnover rate = 19.15

Length of firm's operating cycle :

(Days sales in inventory + average collection period)

Days' sales in inventory = (365 days / inventory turnover ratio)

Days' sales in inventory = (365 / 19.15)

Days's sales in inventory = 18.717 days

Average collection period : (365 / accounts receivable turnover ratio)

Average collection period = (365 / 23.5)

Average collection period = 15.531

(18.717 + 15.531)

= 34.248

= 35 days

Hodge Inc. has some material that originally cost $74,600. The material has a scrap value of $57,400 as is, but if reworked at a
Burka [1]

Answer:  If the material is reworked and sold, Hodge Inc. has a financial disadvantage of (- 4500).

Let's see why:

1) If we sell the material at its disposal value: We have a cost of $ 74600 and the income from sale would be $ 57400 =

57400 - 74600 = (-17200). We have a loss of $17200.

2) If we rework the material we will have an original cost of $ 74600, an additional cost for reworking of $ 1500 and the income from its sale would be $ 54400 =

54400 - (74600 + 1500) = (-21700) We have a loss of $ 21700.

Then comparing the 2 situations =

(-21700) - (-17200) = -4500. There is a financial disadvantage of $4,500 if the material is reworked instead of selling it as scrap.

Consider the following balance sheet for TD. Assets Liabilities Reserves 493 Deposits 2900 Loans 2407 4. Suppose that TD is a ty
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

what is the money multiplier?

  • 5.88

what is the total change in the M1 Money Supply?

  • Just because a client deposits money into a bank it does not increase M1, it just changes its composition. The immediate effect of the deposit in the total money supply is nothing. If the bank loans the money to other clients ($581 in total loans are possible), and other clients deposit the funds in the same bank or other banks, then the money supply could increase up to $3,416.

what is the minimum amount by which the money supply will increase?

  • If the bank loans the disposable funds, the money supply should increase by $581 at least.

Explanation:

The bank's required reserve ratio = reserves / deposits = $493 / $2,900 = 0.17 or 17%.

the money multiplier = 1 / required reserve ratio = 1 / 0.17 = 5.88

if a client deposits $700, the minimum amount by which the money supply will increase = $700 x (1 - required reserve) = $700 x (1 - 0.17) = $700 x 0.83 = $581

the maximum amount by which the money supply could increase = ($700 x 5.88) - $700 = $4,116 - $700 = $3,416
