A characteristic of the average fixed cost is that, it?

rises and falls faster than the marginal cost

is U-shaped and intersects the price axis

is always higher than the average variable cost

falls continuously but is never equal to zero Amsar da ta dace

Bayanin Amsa

The correct answer is that the average fixed cost falls continuously but is never equal to zero. Average fixed cost (AFC) is the fixed cost per unit of output produced, and it decreases as output increases. This is because fixed costs are spread over a larger number of units, so the cost per unit decreases. However, AFC will never reach zero because even when no units are produced, fixed costs still exist. Therefore, AFC will always have a positive value, but it will continually decrease as output increases.

Bayanin Amsa

In a planned economy, what shall be produced is determined primarily by government decisions. This means that the government controls the production of goods and services, and decides what should be produced based on the country's economic priorities and goals. The government plans the allocation of resources, sets production targets, and determines prices, wages, and other economic factors. The government's decisions are usually based on factors such as social welfare, industrial development, and national security. In a planned economy, the role of market forces, such as the price mechanism and consumer demand, is greatly reduced, if not eliminated.

A capitalist economy is one characterized by the?

ownership of factors of production by rich members of the society

use of capital and labour in fixed proportions during production

use of capital intensive methods of production

Bayanin Amsa

A capitalist economy is an economic system characterized by private ownership of factors of production. In such an economy, individuals, rather than the government or state, own and control resources such as land, labor, and capital, and make decisions about their use and allocation. The goal of the system is typically to generate profits for individuals and businesses, which can then be reinvested to drive further economic growth. This is different from systems in which ownership and control of resources are more heavily regulated or centralized, such as in socialist or communist systems.

The main function of price in the economic system is to?

allocate scarce resources among competing uses Amsar da ta dace

ensure equitable distribution of income and wealth

determine the demand for and the supply of goods and services

remove all the constraints on production of goods and services

Bayanin Amsa

Price plays an important role in the economic system by allocating scarce resources among competing uses. It is a mechanism that balances the demand for goods and services with their supply. As prices rise, demand for goods and services decreases, leading to lower production and supply. Conversely, as prices fall, demand increases, leading to higher production and supply. Therefore, price helps to signal the scarcity of resources and guides producers and consumers in making economic decisions. It also helps to ensure efficient allocation of resources and encourages competition among producers, which can lead to improved quality and lower costs for consumers.

This means that when income increases by 1%, the demand for clothing is expected to increase by 2%. Conversely, if income were to decrease by 1%, the demand for clothing is expected to decrease by 2%. Therefore, clothing is considered a normal good as the income elasticity is positive, indicating that demand for clothing increases as income increases.

Bayanin Amsa

Favorable terms of trade is important to a country because it facilitates economic prosperity for the country. It refers to the ratio at which a country can trade its exports for imports from other countries. When the terms of trade are favorable, a country can exchange a smaller quantity of exports for a larger quantity of imports. This means that the country can import more goods and services than it exports, which can lead to increased economic growth and prosperity. Therefore, a country with favorable terms of trade can import hard currency to finance its imports, which can lead to greater economic development.

To calculate the mean income of the employees, we need to find the total income earned by all the employees and divide it by the total number of employees. So, let's calculate the total income earned by all the employees: (3 x 5,500) + (4 x 3,300) + (2 x 5,000) + 7,000 = 16,500 + 13,200 + 10,000 + 7,000 = 46,700 Now, let's count the total number of employees: 3 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 10 Therefore, the mean income of the employees is: 46,700 / 10 = 4,670 Hence, the answer is N4,670.

Trade protection refers to government actions that restrict imports or promote exports to safeguard domestic industries. The most acceptable economic measure for trade protection is to protect infant industries. Infant industries are those that are in their early stages of development and require protection from foreign competition to grow and become established. By protecting these industries, the government can help to promote economic growth and create jobs, as well as reduce the need for future protection by allowing the industry to become competitive over time.

Bayanin Amsa

The shape of a production possibility frontier is determined by the concept of increasing relative costs. This means that as more of one good is produced, there is a trade-off in terms of the amount of the other good that can be produced. This is due to the fact that resources are not equally efficient at producing both goods, so as more resources are allocated to one good, the opportunity cost of producing an additional unit of that good increases. This results in a bowed-out shape of the production possibility frontier, reflecting the increasing trade-off between the two goods as more of one is produced.

Bayanin Amsa

The land tenure system in Nigeria impedes agricultural production because it limits the opportunity for mass production of agricultural goods. This is due to the fact that the system is characterized by small landholders who often lack the resources and technology necessary for large-scale agricultural production. The fragmentation of land ownership also makes it difficult to consolidate land for mass production. As a result, farmers are often unable to take advantage of economies of scale, which can increase production efficiency and reduce costs. Additionally, the system discourages specialization of factors of production, which further hampers agricultural productivity.

In other words, if a country is able to produce a good or service at a lower cost compared to another country, it has a comparative advantage in the production of that good or service. By trading with other countries, each country can specialize in producing the goods or services in which it has a comparative advantage, leading to a more efficient allocation of resources and increased output. This results in lower prices, increased quantity and variety of goods available, and ultimately higher standards of living for all parties involved.

A utility maximizing household will allocate its expenditure so that the utility of the last naira spent on each commodity is equal. This is known as the principle of equal marginal utility. According to this principle, a household will continue to allocate its expenditure across different goods and services until the utility it derives from the last unit of spending on each item is equal. In other words, the household will allocate its spending in a way that maximizes the total utility it derives from all the goods and services it consumes, subject to its budget constraint. Therefore, the household will spend more on goods that provide higher levels of satisfaction (utility) and less on goods that provide lower levels of satisfaction, until the marginal utility of the last naira spent on each good is equal.

One of the characteristics of an imperfect market is the?

large number of buyers and sellers in the market

awareness of market conditions by buyers

availability of substitutes

heterogenetity of products Amsar da ta dace

Bayanin Amsa

One of the characteristics of an imperfect market is the heterogeneity of products. This means that in an imperfect market, goods and services are not homogeneous or identical. They may have slight differences in quality, packaging, design, features, etc. This makes it difficult for buyers to make direct comparisons and for sellers to compete solely on price. As a result, imperfect markets often have higher prices and lower quantities exchanged compared to perfect markets where goods and services are homogeneous and price is the only differentiating factor.

The determinants of elasticity include?

price, time and availability of alternatives Amsar da ta dace

technology and cost of production

time and availability of alternatives

price, time and technology changes

Bayanin Amsa

Elasticity refers to the sensitivity of demand or supply for a particular good or service to changes in its price, income, or other factors. The determinants of elasticity of demand or supply are the factors that affect the degree of responsiveness of demand or supply to changes in these factors. The most important determinants of price elasticity of demand include price, time, and availability of alternatives. The price elasticity of demand tends to be higher when there are close substitutes for the good or service, when consumers have more time to adjust to price changes, and when the price represents a larger portion of the consumer's income. Other factors that may influence the elasticity of demand include the availability of credit, advertising, and changes in tastes and preferences. The determinants of elasticity of supply are similar to those of demand and include price, time, and technology changes. When prices are high, producers have an incentive to increase production, but this response depends on the time needed to adjust production levels and the availability of resources and technology.

Concentrating industries in one place is advantageous because there are gains in terms of?

external economies Amsar da ta dace

internal economies

economies of scale

cost economies

Bayanin Amsa

Concentrating industries in one place is advantageous because of the external economies it creates. External economies refer to the benefits that firms in an industry receive due to their proximity to other firms in the same industry. By being in close proximity, firms can share common resources such as transportation, communication networks, and skilled labor. This reduces their costs of production and helps them to become more efficient. In addition, a concentration of similar industries can create a cluster of expertise and knowledge, leading to increased innovation and collaboration. Therefore, firms can achieve cost savings and benefit from knowledge spillovers by clustering together.
