The determination of wages in a labour market depends on the_______
Bayanin Amsa
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.

The basic and essential economic problems in a community are related to choice and________
Bayanin Amsa
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.

Whether a monopolist is able to increase his revenue by restricting his output depends on the shape of the_________
Bayanin Amsa
The shape of the demand curve determines whether a monopolist is able to increase their revenue by restricting output. A monopolist is the only seller in the market and has some control over the price of the good or service they provide. If the demand for their product is high, they can increase the price, and if they restrict the quantity of the product they supply, the price will go up even more. The demand curve shows the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity of it that consumers are willing and able to buy. If the demand curve is downward sloping, it means that as the price of the good increases, the quantity demanded decreases. This is because consumers will switch to cheaper alternatives when the price of the good goes up. So, if the monopolist restricts their output, the price will go up and they will make more profit as long as the demand curve remains downward sloping. However, if the demand curve becomes perfectly inelastic, meaning that the quantity demanded does not change with the price, then the monopolist will not be able to increase their revenue by restricting output. Therefore, in simple terms, the shape of the demand curve determines whether a monopolist can increase their revenue by restricting output.

The arithmetic mean of 5, 8, 10, 15, 24 and 28 is_______
Bayanin Amsa
To find the arithmetic mean of a set of numbers, you need to add up all the numbers and divide the sum by the total number of numbers. In this case, we have six numbers, so we need to add them up and divide by 6. Adding up the numbers, we get: 5 + 8 + 10 + 15 + 24 + 28 = 90 Then, we divide the sum by the total number of numbers: 90 / 6 = 15 Therefore, the arithmetic mean of 5, 8, 10, 15, 24 and 28 is 15.

The term M33 comprises M11 together with deposits on deposit accounts held by banks and discount houses. In economics, M33 refers to a measure of the money supply in an economy, which includes all of the components of M11 (i.e. notes and coins in circulation, and deposits held by banks and building societies), as well as the deposits held by discount houses. Discount houses are financial institutions that specialize in providing short-term loans to other financial institutions, such as banks. Because they hold deposits from these other financial institutions, their deposits are included in measures of the money supply like M33. , banks only, and banks, discount houses, and stock exchanges, are not complete answers because they do not include the role of discount houses in M33. discount houses only, is not a complete answer because it excludes the role of banks in M33. banks and discount houses, is the correct and complete answer.

Most of the National debts is "dead weight" in the sense that is____
Bayanin Amsa
Most of the national debt is "dead weight" in the sense that it is not covered by any real asset. This means that the debt is not backed up by any tangible property or valuable resource. Instead, it is simply a financial obligation that the government owes to its creditors, who have loaned the government money. The government must pay back this debt with interest, which can add up over time and become a burden on the economy. This type of debt is sometimes referred to as "dead weight" because it does not contribute to the growth or development of the economy, but instead represents a financial obligation that must be met.

A method of analysis that draws conclusions from data rather than general Principles already known is________
Bayanin Amsa
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.

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
Bayanin Amsa
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.

The determination of price by bargaining between buyers and sellers is________
Bayanin Amsa
The determination of price by bargaining between buyers and sellers is called Haggling or Higgling. This is a process where buyers and sellers negotiate the price of a product or service, typically in an informal setting. The buyer wants to pay as little as possible, while the seller wants to get as much as they can. They both compromise and agree on a price that is acceptable to both parties. Haggling is common in open-air markets, street vendors, and in some cultures it's a part of the normal purchasing process. In this process, the buyer and the seller communicate and exchange information about the value of the product or service, and how much each is willing to pay or receive. The price is ultimately determined through a give-and-take negotiation, and both parties must agree on the final price for the transaction to occur.

Bayanin Amsa
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.

The average curve and the marginal curve are U-shaped in the short-run and flatter in the long-run due to________
Bayanin Amsa
The reason why the average curve and the marginal curve are U-shaped in the short-run and flatter in the long-run is due to economies of scale. Economies of scale refer to the cost advantages that firms experience as they increase their production output. In the short-run, firms are often operating at less than their optimal capacity and therefore may experience diseconomies of scale as they increase output, which leads to higher average costs and a U-shaped average curve. Meanwhile, the marginal cost curve intersects the average cost curve at its minimum point, which is why it is also U-shaped in the short-run. However, in the long-run, firms have more time to adjust their inputs and can increase the scale of their operations. As they do so, they can experience economies of scale, which lead to lower average costs and a flatter average curve. This means that the marginal cost curve intersects the average cost curve at a lower point than in the short-run, making it flatter. Overall, this illustrates how economies of scale can affect a firm's production costs and how this can be reflected in the shape of the average and marginal cost curves.

A commodity is defined as normal when its demand changes in the same direction as______
Bayanin Amsa
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.

Which of the following matters may account for changes in demand?
I - changes in consumer preferences
II - changes in real income
III - changes in distribution of incomes
IV - changes in levels of taxation
Bayanin Amsa
Changes in demand can be influenced by various factors. Among them, changes in consumer preferences, real income, distribution of incomes, and levels of taxation can all affect the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to buy at a given price. I. Changes in consumer preferences refer to shifts in the tastes and preferences of consumers. For example, if people start to prefer healthier food options, the demand for fruits and vegetables may increase while the demand for processed foods may decrease. II. Changes in real income can also impact demand. If people's real income increases, they may be able to afford more goods and services, which can lead to an increase in demand for those products. Conversely, if real income decreases, consumers may cut back on their spending, leading to a decrease in demand. III. Changes in the distribution of incomes can also affect demand. If the distribution of incomes becomes more unequal, with some people becoming much richer and others becoming much poorer, this can impact the demand for certain products. For example, if the rich become richer, they may be more willing to purchase luxury goods, leading to an increase in demand for those products. On the other hand, if the poor become poorer, they may not be able to afford certain goods, leading to a decrease in demand. IV. Changes in levels of taxation can impact demand by affecting the disposable income of consumers. If taxes increase, consumers may have less disposable income, leading to a decrease in demand for certain goods and services. Conversely, if taxes decrease, consumers may have more disposable income, leading to an increase in demand for certain products. Therefore, the answer is: I, II, III, IV, since all four factors can account for changes in demand.

A supply curve slopes upwards from the left to the right indicating__________
Bayanin Amsa
A supply curve that slopes upwards from left to right indicates a positive slope. This means that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity supplied by suppliers also increases. In other words, producers are willing to supply more of a good or service at higher prices. To understand why this is the case, think about it from the perspective of a supplier. If the price of a good or service goes up, it becomes more profitable for suppliers to produce and sell that good or service. As a result, suppliers are incentivized to increase their production in order to take advantage of the higher prices and earn more profits. This is why the quantity supplied by suppliers tends to increase as the price of a good or service increases. It's important to note that this explanation applies to the long run. In the short run, supply may be relatively fixed and a supply curve may be upward sloping or even backward sloping, indicating that the quantity supplied doesn't change much in response to changes in price. However, over the long run, suppliers have more time to adjust their production levels and the supply curve typically slopes upward.

A rise in the supply of a commodity cause__________
Bayanin Amsa
When the supply of a commodity increases, it means that there is more of that commodity available in the market than before. This increase in supply causes the market to shift, leading to a change in the equilibrium price and quantity of that commodity. As the supply of the commodity increases, sellers will want to sell more of the commodity, but buyers may not want to buy as much at the higher price. This creates a surplus, where there is more supply than demand, causing the price to decrease. As the price decreases, buyers are more willing to buy the commodity, and sellers may reduce the amount they are willing to sell, until the market reaches a new equilibrium. This new equilibrium will have a lower price and a higher quantity bought and sold than before the increase in supply. Therefore, the correct answer is: a decrease in the equilibrium price and an increase in the equilibrium quantity bought and sold.

Let capital formation = CF, Production = P, C = consumption. Then CF =_______
Bayanin Amsa
Capital formation (CF) is equal to P minus C, where P is production and C is consumption. Capital formation refers to the process of creating new capital goods, such as factories, machines, and infrastructure, which are used to produce goods and services. This process requires investment in new capital goods and is therefore reflected as a reduction in consumption. So, CF = P - C, where P is the total amount of goods and services produced and C is the amount consumed by households, businesses, and government. This equation shows that the amount of new capital being formed is equal to the difference between what is produced and what is consumed. In simpler terms, capital formation is the amount of investment made in the economy to increase its productive capacity and support future economic growth.

Bayanin Amsa
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.

Bayanin Amsa
The oil boom between 1970-1980 caused the oil sector to become the main source of government revenue. This is because during this time period, the demand for oil was high and the price of oil was high, which led to an increase in profits for oil companies and the countries that produced oil. As a result, the government received a significant portion of its revenue from the oil sector, which made it the main source of government funding. This allowed the government to fund various projects and initiatives, and also had a significant impact on the economy.

Bayanin Amsa
The measure of location that is not a measure of location is "Range". A measure of location gives us an idea of where most of the values in a data set are concentrated. Arithmetic mean, Harmonic mean, and Geometric mean are all measures of location that give us a single value to represent the center of the data set. For example, the arithmetic mean is the sum of all the values divided by the number of values. The harmonic mean is the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of the reciprocals of the data values. The geometric mean is the nth root of the product of n values. On the other hand, the range is a measure of spread, which gives us an idea of how spread out the values in a data set are. The range is simply the difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set.

Adam Smith's Theory of value stated that the value of a commodity depended on________
Bayanin Amsa
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.

If two commodities are unrelated, a change in the price of one will____________
Bayanin Amsa
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.

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.

Bayanin Amsa
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.

The purchasing power of money depends upon the__________
Bayanin Amsa
The purchasing power of money depends upon the "price level". Price level refers to the general level of prices for goods and services in an economy. When the price level increases, the purchasing power of money decreases because it can buy fewer goods and services. Conversely, when the price level decreases, the purchasing power of money increases because it can buy more goods and services. For example, if a cup of coffee costs $2 and the price level remains the same, then $10 can buy 5 cups of coffee. However, if the price of coffee increases to $3, then the purchasing power of $10 decreases and can now only buy 3 and 1/3 cups of coffee. So, the purchasing power of money depends on the price level, because the price level determines how much goods and services money can buy.
