Frage 1 Bericht
Which of the following persons is engaged in "Secondary Production"?
I - a bricklayer
II - an automobile assembly-line worker
III - an accountant
IV - a cinema projectionist
Antwortdetails
Secondary production refers to the process of transforming raw materials into finished goods, typically in a factory setting. Out of the four options, only one involves transforming raw materials into finished goods in a factory setting, and that is option II, an automobile assembly-line worker. A bricklayer (option I) works in construction and is not involved in transforming raw materials into finished goods in a factory setting. An accountant (option III) works in the service sector and is not involved in producing goods. A cinema projectionist (option IV) is also not involved in producing goods but rather in providing a service. Therefore, the answer is option II, an automobile assembly-line worker.
Frage 2 Bericht
The method obtained by adding all the reward of factors of production in national income is________
Antwortdetails
The method of adding up all the rewards of the factors of production in national income is known as the "income approach." The income approach calculates national income by summing up all the income received by individuals and firms in the economy. This includes wages, salaries, interest, rent, and profits earned by the factors of production, such as labor, capital, and land. The idea behind this approach is that the total income generated in an economy is equal to the total amount spent on consumption and investment, and this spending creates the demand for goods and services produced in the economy. This method provides a comprehensive picture of the total income generated in the economy and is useful in understanding the distribution of income among different groups in the economy and the sources of economic growth.

Frage 4 Bericht
Effective demand for a commodity is desire for that commodity backed by_______
Antwortdetails
Effective demand for a commodity is the desire or want for that commodity backed by the ability and willingness to pay for it. This means that a person not only wants the commodity, but also has the means to purchase it and is willing to part with their money in exchange for it. For example, if someone wants to buy a new car but does not have the money to pay for it, their desire for the car is not effective demand. Similarly, if someone has the money but is not interested in buying a car, their willingness to pay is not effective demand. Effective demand requires both the desire for the commodity and the ability and willingness to pay for it. It is the combination of these two factors that drives the demand for goods and services in the economy.
Frage 5 Bericht
One of these is not a way by which government encourage industrialization?
Antwortdetails
Low productivity and inefficiency is not a way by which government encourages industrialization. In fact, it is the opposite. Encouraging industrialization means creating a favorable environment for businesses to grow and increase productivity. Low productivity and inefficiency hinder the growth of industries, making it difficult for the government to encourage industrialization. On the other hand, protection of infant industries, establishment of Nigeria Enterprises Promotion Decree, and establishment of higher institutions are ways by which the government can encourage industrialization. Protection of infant industries involves offering support and protection to new and growing businesses to help them establish and grow. The establishment of Nigeria Enterprises Promotion Decree provides support and incentives for local businesses to grow and expand. The establishment of higher institutions provides a well-educated workforce, which is essential for industrial growth and development.
Frage 6 Bericht
The basic and essential economic problems in a community are related to choice and________
Antwortdetails
The basic and essential economic problems in a community are related to choice and scarcity. Scarcity refers to the limited availability of resources in any given community. These resources can include natural resources, such as land, water, and minerals, as well as human-made resources, such as factories, machines, and tools. Because these resources are limited, there is never enough of them to satisfy everyone's wants and needs. This scarcity means that individuals, businesses, and governments must make choices about how to allocate these resources in the most efficient way possible. This requires making trade-offs and decisions about what goods and services to produce, how to produce them, and who should receive them. , Freedom, and Politics, are not directly related to the basic and essential economic problems of choice and scarcity. Social class, may be related to economic problems, but is not a fundamental concept in economics.
Frage 7 Bericht
As indifference curve shows equal level of satisfaction at all points, An isoquant shows equal level of_________
Antwortdetails
An isoquant shows equal level of output. An isoquant is a curve that represents all the possible combinations of inputs (such as labor and capital) that can produce the same level of output for a particular product or service. In other words, it represents all the different ways to produce the same amount of output using different combinations of inputs. So, all points on an isoquant represent the same level of output, and this level of output gives us the same satisfaction or usefulness. As we move along the isoquant, we can produce the same output using different combinations of inputs, but the level of output remains constant. In simple terms, an isoquant is a line that shows the different combinations of inputs that can produce the same level of output.
Frage 9 Bericht
If two commodities are unrelated, a change in the price of one will____________
Antwortdetails
If two commodities are unrelated, a change in the price of one will have no effect on the quantity demanded of the other. This is because unrelated commodities are not substitutes for each other, so a change in the price of one will not affect the demand for the other. For example, if the price of apples increases, it will not affect the demand for bananas, since apples and bananas are not substitutes for each other. Similarly, if the price of bananas decreases, it will not affect the demand for apples. This is because the demand for each commodity is determined by its own factors, such as income, tastes, and preferences, and not by the price of other unrelated commodities.
Frage 11 Bericht
A commodity is defined as normal when its demand changes in the same direction as______
Antwortdetails
A commodity is defined as normal when its demand changes in the same direction as income. This means that as income increases, demand for the commodity will also increase, and as income decreases, demand for the commodity will decrease. Normal goods are those goods for which demand increases as income increases, and decreases as income decreases. For example, as people's incomes increase, they may choose to buy more luxury items such as expensive cars, jewelry, or designer clothing, which would be considered normal goods. On the other hand, as people's incomes decrease, they may choose to cut back on these purchases and switch to more budget-friendly options, causing demand for normal goods to decrease.
Frage 12 Bericht
The demand for labour is a________
Antwortdetails
The demand for labor is a "derived demand". This means that the demand for labor is not a direct demand for labor itself, but rather it is derived from the demand for goods and services that labor can produce. In other words, businesses hire workers because they need them to produce the goods and services that they sell. For example, if a business sells pizzas, it will need workers to make the pizzas, deliver the pizzas, and serve the customers. The demand for labor in this case is derived from the demand for pizzas. If the demand for pizzas increases, the demand for labor to produce and deliver the pizzas will also increase. Therefore, the demand for labor is closely tied to the demand for the goods and services that labor produces, and it is derived from that demand.

Frage 17 Bericht
The use of government income and expenditure instrument to regulate the economy is termed______
Antwortdetails
The use of government income and expenditure instrument to regulate the economy is called fiscal policy. Fiscal policy is a tool used by the government to influence the economy by changing the level and composition of government spending and taxation. The main aim of fiscal policy is to achieve macroeconomic objectives, such as controlling inflation, promoting economic growth and stability, and reducing unemployment. When the government increases its spending and/or reduces taxes, it injects more money into the economy, which can increase consumer spending and business investment. This can help to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and increase aggregate demand. On the other hand, when the government reduces its spending and/or increases taxes, it takes money out of the economy, which can help to cool down an overheating economy and reduce inflation. In summary, fiscal policy involves using government income (taxation) and expenditure (spending) to influence the economy and achieve macroeconomic objectives.

Frage 23 Bericht
In a perfect competition, the market price is determined by_______
Antwortdetails
In a perfect competition, the market price is determined by the market supply and demand junctions. This means that the price is set by the intersection of the supply of goods and services offered by producers and the demand for those goods and services by consumers. When there is a high demand for a good or service, the price will go up, and when there is a low demand, the price will go down. This is because producers will raise their prices when there is high demand in order to make more profit, and they will lower their prices when there is low demand to try to sell more goods. On the other hand, consumers will be willing to pay more for a good or service when there is high demand and they will be less willing to pay when there is low demand. The market price is a result of the negotiation between producers and consumers, and it reflects the balance between supply and demand in the market.
Frage 24 Bericht
The release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment is_______
Antwortdetails
An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment. This can occur in a variety of ways, such as from an oil tanker that leaks or a pipeline that ruptures. The oil can contaminate the water and harm wildlife, as well as damage the natural environment and disrupt human activities such as fishing and tourism. It is important to take measures to prevent and clean up oil spills to minimize their impact on the environment and local communities.
Frage 26 Bericht
Industrialization is the process of___________
Antwortdetails
Industrialization is the process of transforming an economy from primarily agriculture and handicrafts to one based on the manufacturing of goods. This process usually involves the development of new technologies, the growth of factories, and an increase in the production of goods. The goal of industrialization is to increase economic growth and improve the standard of living for a society. During industrialization, the production of goods becomes more efficient and large-scale, and people move from rural areas to cities to work in factories. In short, industrialization is the transformation of a society from traditional ways of making things to more modern and efficient methods of production.
Frage 27 Bericht
Adam Smith's Theory of value stated that the value of a commodity depended on________
Antwortdetails
Adam Smith's theory of value stated that the value of a commodity depends on the amount of labour expended on its production. Smith believed that in a market economy, the value of a good or service is determined by the amount of work required to produce it. According to his theory, the more time and effort that goes into making a product, the more valuable it becomes. This idea is known as the "labour theory of value." In simple terms, the value of a product is determined by the effort and time put into making it. The more effort and time required, the more valuable the product is considered to be. This theory is considered to be one of the foundations of classical economics and is still widely studied and discussed today.

Frage 29 Bericht
When of the following matters may account for changes in supply?
I - technological advances in an industry
II - changes in labour costs
III - changes in source of supply
IV - changes in levels of taxation
Antwortdetails
All of the options listed - I, II, III, and IV - can contribute to changes in supply. Technological advances in an industry can increase the efficiency of production and lower costs, leading to an increase in supply. Changes in labor costs, such as an increase in wages, can make production more expensive, leading to a decrease in supply. Changes in the source of supply, such as a new supplier entering the market or a current supplier becoming unavailable, can also impact supply. Finally, changes in levels of taxation, such as an increase in taxes on production, can make production more expensive and lead to a decrease in supply. Therefore, all four options can impact changes in supply.
Frage 30 Bericht
In the short-run, the monopoly makes_______
Antwortdetails
In the short-run, a monopoly can make abnormal profit. Abnormal profit is a profit that is higher than the normal profit a company would make in a competitive market. This is because a monopoly has market power, meaning it has control over the price of its product and can set it higher than the market price, leading to higher profits. However, it's important to note that this situation is only temporary and in the long-run, competition and other factors can drive down prices and eliminate the abnormal profit.
Frage 31 Bericht
One of these is not a problem of agriculture___________
Antwortdetails
"Provision of employment" is not a problem of agriculture. It is actually a benefit of agriculture. Agriculture provides job opportunities for people, from farmers to food processing workers. The other three options listed are actual problems faced by the agriculture industry: - Lack of preservation and storage facilities can lead to food waste and loss of income for farmers. - Land tenure system refers to the rules and regulations governing who can use and own land. In many countries, the land tenure system is not favorable for small farmers and can limit their ability to produce food. - Poor transportation systems can make it difficult for farmers to get their products to market and for consumers to access fresh food.

Among the disadvantages of the one-man business is the fact that______
Antwortdetails
The main disadvantage of a one-man business is that the proprietor is personally liable for the firm's debts. This means that if the business is unable to pay its debts, the proprietor's personal assets, such as their savings, property, or other valuables, can be used to settle the debt. This can put the proprietor's personal financial stability at risk and may discourage them from taking on certain business ventures or expanding the business.

Frage 36 Bericht
A contractionary monetary policy is used to control__________
Antwortdetails
A contractionary monetary policy is used to control inflation. Inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over time. It occurs when there is too much money chasing too few goods, leading to an increase in demand and upward pressure on prices. A contractionary monetary policy is a type of economic policy used by central banks to reduce the money supply and increase the cost of borrowing, with the aim of slowing down the economy and reducing inflationary pressures. This can be achieved through several measures, such as raising interest rates, increasing reserve requirements for banks, and selling government securities in the open market. By reducing the supply of money and making it more expensive to borrow, the central bank aims to reduce spending and investment in the economy, which can help to lower inflation. A contractionary monetary policy is the opposite of an expansionary monetary policy, which is used to stimulate economic growth by increasing the money supply and lowering interest rates.
Frage 37 Bericht
The determination of wages in a labour market depends on the_______
Antwortdetails
The determination of wages in a labor market depends on the interaction between the demand for and supply of labor. In simple terms, employers demand labor to produce goods and services, while workers supply their labor to earn wages. The wage rate is then determined by the equilibrium point where the demand for labor meets the supply of labor in the market. When there is a high demand for labor and a low supply, wages tend to increase because employers are competing for a limited number of workers. On the other hand, when there is a low demand for labor and a high supply, wages tend to decrease because there are more workers than jobs available. Other factors such as government policies, economic conditions, and the skills and qualifications of workers can also influence the wage rate, but the main determinant is the interaction between the demand for and supply of labor in the market.
Frage 39 Bericht
A method of analysis that draws conclusions from data rather than general Principles already known is________
Antwortdetails
Inductive reasoning is a method of analysis that draws conclusions from data rather than general principles already known. In simple terms, inductive reasoning takes specific observations or pieces of evidence and uses them to form a general conclusion or pattern. For example, if you observe that every time it rains, the streets get wet, you can use inductive reasoning to conclude that rain causes the streets to get wet. In contrast, deductive reasoning starts with a general principle or premise and uses it to reach a specific conclusion. For example, if you know that all birds have feathers and you observe a creature with feathers, you can use deductive reasoning to conclude that it's a bird. Inductive reasoning is often used in scientific research, where data is collected and analyzed to form hypotheses or theories that can then be tested through further experimentation.
