The economic term used to refer to human wants, desires or needs is known as?
Antwoorddetails
The economic term used to refer to human wants, desires, or needs is "Ends". In economics, ends refer to the goals or objectives that individuals or society aims to achieve. These are the things that people want or need, such as food, shelter, clothing, entertainment, or education. Ends are considered to be unlimited because there are always new wants or needs that arise as people's tastes and preferences change, as well as advances in technology and innovation. However, the resources to satisfy these ends are limited, which creates a problem of scarcity. To achieve these ends, individuals must use alternative means, or resources, such as labor, capital, or natural resources. Therefore, the correct option is "Ends".

Antwoorddetails
The reduction in the value of a country's currency in relation to the value of the currencies of other nations is known as "Devaluation". When a country's currency is devalued, it means that the value of its currency has decreased compared to the currencies of other countries. This can happen for a number of reasons, including a decrease in the demand for the country's goods and services, a decrease in the country's economic growth, or a decrease in the country's foreign reserves. A devaluation makes a country's exports cheaper and more competitive on the global market, which can help boost the country's economy. However, it can also lead to higher prices for imported goods, which can negatively impact the country's consumers. In simple terms, devaluation is when a country's currency becomes less valuable compared to other currencies.

Calculate the population density of Nigeria, having a total population of 180 million with a total land area of 923,768 sq km?
Antwoorddetails
To calculate the population density of Nigeria, we need to divide the total population of Nigeria by its total land area. So, Population density of Nigeria = Total population of Nigeria / Total land area of Nigeria Plugging in the values, we get: Population density of Nigeria = 180,000,000 / 923,768 sq km Solving this equation, we get: Population density of Nigeria = 195 people per sq km (rounded to the nearest whole number) Therefore, is the correct answer. Nigeria has a population density of approximately 195 people per square kilometer, which means that on average, there are 195 people living in every square kilometer of land in Nigeria. This number is relatively high compared to some other countries, but it is important to note that population density varies widely depending on factors such as geography, climate, and economic development.

Antwoorddetails
The form of utility that refers to the enhancement of a commodity's usefulness by moving it from a place where it has little utility to another area where its utility is higher is called "place utility." For example, a bottle of water may have low utility in a store shelf where there is an abundance of water, but it would have a higher utility in a desert where water is scarce. By moving the water bottle from the store shelf to the desert, the place utility of the water bottle is increased. On the other hand, marginal utility refers to the additional satisfaction or benefit that a person derives from consuming an extra unit of a good or service, while form utility refers to the value added to a commodity by transforming it into a more useful form, such as processing raw materials into finished products. Total utility, on the other hand, refers to the overall level of satisfaction or benefit that a person derives from consuming a particular quantity of a good or service.

One of the major forms of migration that tends to create problem in all developing countries is that of___________
Antwoorddetails
The major form of migration that tends to create problems in developing countries is rural-urban migration. This refers to the movement of people from rural areas to urban areas in search of better economic opportunities and a higher standard of living. There are several reasons why rural-urban migration occurs. In rural areas, there may be limited job opportunities, low wages, and a lack of access to basic services such as healthcare, education, and clean water. In contrast, urban areas offer more job opportunities, higher wages, and better access to services. However, rural-urban migration can create several problems. Firstly, it can lead to overcrowding and strain on urban infrastructure, such as housing, transportation, and public services. This can result in poor living conditions for migrants and contribute to the spread of diseases. Secondly, rural-urban migration can lead to social problems such as crime, poverty, and inequality. Migrants may face discrimination and difficulty integrating into urban communities, which can exacerbate social tensions. Finally, rural-urban migration can have negative impacts on rural areas, as it can result in a loss of skilled workers and a decline in agricultural productivity. This can have serious consequences for food security and rural development. Overall, while rural-urban migration can provide benefits for migrants in terms of economic opportunities and access to services, it can also create significant challenges for both urban and rural areas.
Vraag 15 Verslag
The establishment of industries in rural areas will help to reduce____________-
Antwoorddetails
The establishment of industries in rural areas will help to reduce Urban-Rural migration. Urban-Rural migration refers to the movement of people from urban (city) areas to rural (countryside) areas in search of better living conditions, employment opportunities, and a lower cost of living. This migration often leads to overcrowding, strain on urban resources, and an increase in poverty in both urban and rural areas. When industries are established in rural areas, it creates employment opportunities for people living in those areas. This leads to an improvement in the standard of living of the local population, as they can find employment opportunities near their homes and do not need to move to urban areas. As a result, people are less likely to migrate from rural areas to urban areas in search of better opportunities, which helps to reduce Urban-Rural migration. In addition, the establishment of industries in rural areas also leads to an increase in economic activity in those areas, which stimulates local economies and creates new business opportunities. This, in turn, can lead to a reduction in poverty, an improvement in infrastructure and services, and an overall improvement in the quality of life for people living in rural areas.

Taxes and government expenditures are instruments of____________
Antwoorddetails
Taxes and government expenditures are instruments of fiscal policy. Fiscal policy refers to the government's use of its spending and taxation powers to influence the economy. By adjusting the level of taxes and government spending, the government can influence the level of economic activity and control inflation. For example, if the government wants to stimulate economic growth, it may lower taxes and increase government spending. This increases consumer spending and investment, which can boost economic activity. On the other hand, if the government wants to slow down inflation, it may raise taxes and decrease government spending, which can reduce consumer spending and slow down economic growth. In summary, fiscal policy is a crucial tool used by governments to manage their economies and maintain economic stability.

The mean is the best measure of central tendency because it__________
Antwoorddetails
The mean is considered the best measure of central tendency because it is a balancing point in an observation. Central tendency refers to the tendency of data to cluster around a particular value in a distribution. The three measures of central tendency are mean, median, and mode. The mean is the arithmetic average of a set of data and is calculated by summing all of the values and dividing by the number of values in the set. The mean is the balancing point in an observation because it takes into account all the values in a set of data and calculates their average. It is the sum of all the values in the set divided by the total number of values. Because the mean is based on all the values in the data set, it is less likely to be affected by extreme values (outliers) than other measures of central tendency, such as the median or mode. In addition to being a balancing point in an observation, the mean has several other advantages as a measure of central tendency. For example, it is easy to calculate and is a useful tool for comparing different data sets. It can also be calculated from incomplete data, which is not the case with other measures of central tendency. Overall, the mean is the best measure of central tendency because it is a balancing point in an observation and takes into account all the values in a data set, making it less likely to be influenced by extreme values.

Antwoorddetails
The privatization exercise in Nigeria is a move towards a market economy. A market economy is a type of economic system in which decisions regarding investment, production, and distribution are guided by the price signals created by the forces of supply and demand. In a market economy, resources are owned and controlled by individuals and private enterprises, rather than the government. In Nigeria's case, the privatization exercise involves the transfer of ownership and control of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to private individuals or companies. This shift from state ownership and control to private ownership and control is a characteristic feature of a market economy. By reducing the role of the government in the economy, the privatization exercise in Nigeria is aimed at promoting competition, encouraging innovation, and improving efficiency in the management of these formerly state-owned enterprises.

Vraag 26 Verslag
The need to construct a scale of preference is necessitated by____________
Antwoorddetails
The need to construct a scale of preference is necessitated by scarcity and the need for choice. Resources are limited, but human wants and needs are unlimited. This creates a situation of scarcity, where people must make choices about how to allocate their resources to satisfy their most pressing needs and wants. A scale of preference is a tool that helps individuals to prioritize their wants and needs, so that they can make informed choices about how to allocate their limited resources. For example, imagine you have a limited amount of money to spend on groceries for the week. You have a long list of items you want to buy, but you can't afford to buy them all. By constructing a scale of preference, you can prioritize the items on your list according to how important they are to you. You might decide that buying bread, milk, and vegetables are your top priorities, while buying luxury items like chocolates and wine are lower on your list. This allows you to make the most of your limited resources and satisfy your most pressing needs first. Therefore, the need to construct a scale of preference is necessitated by scarcity and the need for choice, as it helps individuals to allocate their limited resources in a way that best satisfies their wants and needs.

Vraag 40 Verslag
The expression of cost in terms of alternative forgone is referred to as ____?
Antwoorddetails
The expression of cost in terms of alternative forgone is referred to as "Opportunity cost". Opportunity cost is the cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue a certain action or decision. In other words, it is the value of the next best alternative that you have to give up in order to choose a certain option. For example, if you have $100 and you can either buy a new book or go to a concert, the opportunity cost of buying the book is the value you would have received from going to the concert (and vice versa). If you choose to buy the book, you give up the experience of going to the concert, and if you choose to go to the concert, you give up the value you would have received from the book. Opportunity cost is an important concept in decision making, economics, and business, because it helps us understand the trade-offs that we make when we make choices with limited resources. By considering the opportunity cost of different options, we can make more informed and rational decisions about how to allocate our resources.
