An advantage of rail transport is that it
Antwoorddetails
An advantage of rail transport is that it carries bulky and heavy goods. Rail transport is a mode of transportation that uses railroads to move goods and people. It is particularly advantageous for transporting heavy and bulky goods such as raw materials, coal, lumber, and heavy equipment. Rail transport has the capacity to move large volumes of goods over long distances, and it is often more cost-effective than other modes of transport, such as road or air transport. This is because trains can carry more cargo per trip, and the cost of fuel and maintenance is generally lower than other transportation modes. Moreover, rail transport can be a safer and more reliable mode of transportation for heavy and bulky goods. Trains are not affected by traffic congestion and can operate on a fixed schedule, which can reduce delays and improve delivery times. Additionally, rail transport can be integrated with other transportation modes to provide door-to-door delivery services for customers, enhancing its usefulness. While the other options provided in the question are not necessarily incorrect, they do not represent the main advantage of rail transport. Rail transport can require significant maintenance costs, and it can be subject to delays due to weather, mechanical failures, or other factors. Additionally, while rail transport can facilitate door-to-door delivery, it may not be as efficient as other modes of transport for smaller or lighter shipments.

Which of the following activities is not an example of the extractive industry?
Antwoorddetails
Weaving is not an example of the extractive industry. The extractive industry involves activities that extract natural resources from the earth, such as mining, drilling for oil, gas and water, and quarrying for stone, sand and gravel. The purpose of these activities is to extract raw materials that are then used to produce finished goods. Hunting and fishing can also be considered extractive industries because they involve the extraction of natural resources from the environment. Hunting involves the extraction of wild animals for food, fur, and other products. Fishing involves the extraction of fish and other aquatic resources from the sea, rivers, and lakes. However, weaving is a manufacturing activity that involves the production of textiles by interlacing threads on a loom. It does not involve the extraction of natural resources from the earth, but rather the use of raw materials such as cotton or wool that have already been extracted and processed. Therefore, weaving is not an example of the extractive industry.

The difference between a country's imports and exports of goods in a particular year is
Antwoorddetails
The difference between a country's imports and exports of goods in a particular year is known as the "balance of trade." It represents the net value of a country's international trade in goods, which includes tangible products like cars, machinery, and food. If a country exports more than it imports, it has a positive balance of trade, also known as a trade surplus. On the other hand, if a country imports more than it exports, it has a negative balance of trade, also known as a trade deficit. It's important to note that the balance of trade is just one part of a country's overall balance of payments, which includes not just goods but also services, capital, and other financial transactions. The balance of payments is a more comprehensive measure of a country's international economic activity and can give a more accurate picture of its overall economic health.

Antwoorddetails
The quality of money that makes it possible to buy goods in small quantities is divisibility. Divisibility means the ability of money to be divided into smaller units. This is important because it allows people to buy goods that cost less than one unit of money. For example, if a candy bar costs 50 cents and you only have a one dollar bill, you can divide that dollar into smaller units (quarters, in this case) to pay for the candy bar. If money was not divisible, you would have to pay for the candy bar with a one dollar bill, even if you only wanted to buy 50 cents worth of goods.

An insurance policy which is not a contract of indemnity is
Antwoorddetails
A type of insurance policy which is not a contract of indemnity is "life insurance." A contract of indemnity is an insurance policy that compensates the policyholder for a loss or damage that they have suffered. The insurance company agrees to indemnify the policyholder for the actual loss or damage suffered up to the limit of the policy. In contrast, a life insurance policy is not a contract of indemnity because it provides a benefit to the policyholder or their designated beneficiary upon the occurrence of a specific event, such as the death of the policyholder or the end of a specified term. Life insurance is designed to provide financial protection to the policyholder's family or dependents in the event of their death or a specified event, such as a terminal illness. The policyholder pays a premium to the insurance company, and in return, the insurance company pays a predetermined sum of money to the policyholder's beneficiaries upon the occurrence of the specified event. There are different types of life insurance policies, including term life insurance, whole life insurance, and universal life insurance. Each type of policy has its own unique features and benefits. In summary, life insurance is not a contract of indemnity because it provides a benefit to the policyholder or their beneficiaries upon the occurrence of a specific event, such as the death of the policyholder. It is designed to provide financial protection to the policyholder's family or dependents in the event of their death or a specified event.

Antwoorddetails
A request for goods from another country by an importer would be made using an order. An order is a formal request made by a buyer to a seller for a specific product or service. In the context of international trade, an importer would place an order with a foreign supplier for goods they wish to purchase. The order will typically include details such as the quantity of goods, the delivery date, and the agreed-upon price. This order serves as the basis for the transaction between the importer and the foreign supplier and is a key step in the importing process.

Antwoorddetails
The law by which a seller transfers the property in goods to a buyer at an agreed price is the "Sale of Goods Act." The Sale of Goods Act is a law that governs the sale of goods in many countries around the world. It sets out the rules for transferring ownership of goods from a seller to a buyer in a commercial transaction. The law applies to both tangible goods, such as cars and furniture, and intangible goods, such as software and intellectual property. Under the Sale of Goods Act, a seller is required to transfer ownership of the goods to the buyer at an agreed price. This means that the buyer has the right to own and possess the goods, and the seller must transfer the goods to the buyer in exchange for payment. The law also sets out rules for the quality and condition of the goods, and provides legal remedies for buyers who receive defective or faulty goods. The other options listed - Weights and Measures Act, Trade Description Act, and Foods and Drugs Act - are laws that relate to different aspects of commercial transactions, such as measurement standards, consumer protection, and food safety. However, they do not specifically address the transfer of ownership of goods from a seller to a buyer, which is the main focus of the Sale of Goods Act.

When a share with a nominal value of #50 is quoted at #70, it is being sold
Antwoorddetails
When a share with a nominal value of #50 is quoted at #70, it is being sold at a premium. A share is quoted at a premium when its market price is higher than its nominal or face value. In the case of a share with a nominal value of #50 that is quoted at #70, the share is being sold for a higher price than its face value, meaning that it is being sold at a premium. This can indicate that the company is performing well, and that investors are willing to pay a higher price for the share due to its perceived future potential. On the other hand, a share that is quoted below its nominal value is said to be sold at a discount.

Antwoorddetails
A paid presentation about a product with a view to encouraging purchases by an identifiable sponsor is called an "advertisement." An advertisement is a form of marketing communication that is designed to promote a product or service. It is typically a paid message that is communicated through various channels such as television, radio, print media, online media, billboards, and other forms of outdoor advertising. Advertisements are usually created and placed by an identifiable sponsor, such as a company, organization, or government agency. The main goal of an advertisement is to persuade potential customers to buy a product or service. Advertisements are an important part of the marketing mix, as they help to create awareness of products and services and communicate their features and benefits to potential customers. They can also help to build brand recognition and loyalty over time.

Antwoorddetails
A partner who only contributes their name to the formation of a partnership is known as a nominal partner or a sleeping partner. They don't actively participate in the management or operations of the partnership, but they are still considered a full partner and have equal ownership in the business. This means they share in the profits and losses of the partnership and are liable for its debts. However, because they don't have an active role, they also don't have much control over the day-to-day decision making of the business.

Antwoorddetails
A person engaged for the purpose of bringing his principal and a third party into a contractual relation is an "agent." An agent is a person who is authorized to act on behalf of another person or entity, known as the principal. The agent's role is to negotiate and enter into contracts with third parties on behalf of the principal, while representing the interests of the principal. In other words, an agent acts as a middleman between the principal and a third party. The agent has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the principal, which means that they must act honestly and with reasonable care and skill. Examples of agents include real estate agents, who act on behalf of property owners to sell or lease their property to interested buyers or tenants. Another example is a travel agent, who acts on behalf of travelers to book flights, hotels, and other travel services. In contrast, an arbiter is a person who is appointed to settle disputes between parties, such as a mediator or an arbitrator. An auctioneer is a person who conducts auctions and facilitates the sale of goods or services to the highest bidder. A middleman is a general term that refers to a person or business that acts as an intermediary between two parties in a transaction.

Antwoorddetails
The document issued by a public company allowing it to commence business is called the "Certificate of Incorporation." When a group of people decides to form a company, they must register it with the government. The process of registering a company involves submitting documents to the government, including the company's Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. These documents outline the company's purpose, structure, and internal regulations. Once the government approves the registration and verifies that all necessary documents have been submitted, it issues a "Certificate of Incorporation" to the company. This certificate officially recognizes the company as a legal entity and grants it the authority to commence business operations. In summary, the "Certificate of Incorporation" is a crucial document that allows a public company to legally operate and conduct business.

Antwoorddetails
The bank that acts as the lender of last resort is the central bank. The central bank is the authority responsible for overseeing the monetary system of a country. One of its important functions is to act as a lender of last resort, which means it provides loans to other banks or financial institutions that are experiencing financial difficulties and cannot obtain funding from other sources. The central bank provides this emergency lending to prevent a crisis in the banking system that could lead to a broader economic downturn. By providing loans to troubled banks, the central bank helps maintain confidence in the financial system and ensures that banks can continue to provide services to their customers. Commercial banks, merchant banks, and mortgage banks are not typically authorized to act as lenders of last resort. Instead, they rely on access to funding from the central bank and other sources to meet their liquidity needs.
Vraag 20 Verslag
Central banks sell treasury bills to the public to
Antwoorddetails
Central banks sell treasury bills to the public to reduce cash in circulation. Treasury bills are short-term government securities that are issued by the central bank and sold to the public in exchange for cash. When individuals or institutions buy these securities, they are essentially loaning money to the government for a fixed period of time, usually ranging from a few days to a few months. By selling treasury bills to the public, the central bank is able to withdraw money from circulation and reduce the amount of cash in the banking system. This helps to control inflation and maintain the stability of the currency. When the central bank sells treasury bills, it effectively takes money out of the economy, which can help to reduce the supply of money and prevent the value of the currency from decreasing. In addition, central banks may also use the revenue generated from the sale of treasury bills to fund government operations or to pay off existing debt. However, the primary purpose of selling treasury bills is to control the money supply and ensure that the economy remains stable and healthy.

The part of issued share capital that the company has asked the subscribers to pay for
Antwoorddetails
Among the options given, the term that refers to the part of the share capital that the company has asked its shareholders to pay for is "called-up capital." When a company wants to raise funds, it can issue shares to investors in exchange for money. The share capital represents the total amount of money that the company can raise from issuing shares. However, the company may not require all of that money upfront. It may ask its shareholders to pay for the shares they have subscribed to in installments, as and when the company needs the funds. The amount of money that the company has called upon its shareholders to pay is called the called-up capital. For example, if a company has issued 1,000 shares of $10 each, its share capital would be $10,000. However, if the company has only asked its shareholders to pay for 500 shares, then the called-up capital would be $5,000. The remaining $5,000 is the uncalled capital, which the company can ask for at a later date. So, to summarise, the called-up capital is the portion of the share capital that the company has asked its shareholders to pay for, while the uncalled capital is the amount that the company may ask for at a later date.

The commission on a postal order is
Antwoorddetails
The commission on a postal order is called "poundage." A postal order is a financial instrument that is issued by postal services in many countries. It is similar to a check or money order, but is generally considered to be a safer and more secure method of payment. When purchasing a postal order, the buyer typically pays an additional fee or commission to cover the cost of issuing and processing the order. This fee is known as "poundage." Poundage is generally a percentage of the total value of the order, and can vary depending on the country and the specific postal service. The other options listed - tariff, brokerage, and fee - all refer to different types of charges or fees that may be associated with financial transactions, but they are not specifically related to postal orders. For example, a tariff is a tax or duty that is imposed on imported or exported goods, while brokerage refers to the fee charged by a broker for arranging a financial transaction.

Antwoorddetails
The service of a retailer is part of production because it "enables finished goods to reach consumers." Retailers are businesses that sell finished goods directly to consumers, usually in small quantities. They purchase goods from manufacturers or wholesalers and then sell them in their stores or online. The service of a retailer is important because it provides a way for finished goods to reach the end consumer, which is the ultimate goal of production. Without retailers, manufacturers would not be able to sell their finished goods directly to consumers, and consumers would have limited access to the goods they need and want. Retailers serve as a crucial link between producers and consumers, by making finished goods available to consumers in convenient locations. Therefore, the service of a retailer is an integral part of the production process because it enables manufacturers to sell their finished goods and allows consumers to access and purchase those goods. While retailers may not directly create the finished goods, they play a vital role in bringing them to market and making them available to consumers. In contrast, a commercial occupation refers to any occupation or business activity that is engaged in for the purpose of making a profit. While retailing is a commercial occupation, it is also an important part of the production process because it enables finished goods to reach consumers.

Examples of current assets are
Antwoorddetails
The correct answer is: "cash and trade debtors." Current assets are resources that a company expects to convert into cash or use up within one year or a normal operating cycle. These assets are important for a company's day-to-day operations and can be easily converted into cash. Examples of current assets include cash, accounts receivable (trade debtors), inventory, and prepaid expenses. Out of the options provided, "cash and trade debtors" are current assets because they can be easily converted into cash within a year or a normal operating cycle. Cash is the most liquid current asset as it can be used to pay for immediate expenses or investments. Trade debtors, also known as accounts receivable, are the amounts owed to the company by its customers for goods or services sold on credit. The company expects to receive payment within a year or normal operating cycle, making it a current asset.
Vraag 25 Verslag
Which of the following is not a right of a consumer?
Antwoorddetails
The right of a consumer that is not listed among the options is the "right to buy on credit." Consumer rights are the legal protections and entitlements afforded to individuals who purchase goods and services. These rights vary depending on the country or region, but they generally include protections against fraud, misrepresentation, and defective products. The other three options listed - the right to a fair hearing, the right to obtain a replacement, and the right to a safe product - are all recognized as fundamental consumer rights in many countries around the world. The right to a fair hearing means that consumers have the right to be heard and have their complaints addressed in a fair and impartial manner. The right to obtain a replacement means that consumers have the right to seek a replacement or refund for a product that is defective or does not meet their expectations. The right to a safe product means that consumers have the right to expect that the products they purchase will not pose a risk to their health or safety. The right to buy on credit, on the other hand, is not generally considered a fundamental consumer right. While many consumers have access to credit as a means of financing their purchases, there is no legal entitlement to buy on credit. Consumers may be required to meet certain criteria, such as a good credit score or a steady income, in order to qualify for credit.
Vraag 26 Verslag
When the cost of sales is divided by the average stock, the result is
Antwoorddetails
The result of dividing the cost of sales by the average stock is the rate of turnover. This calculation measures how efficiently a company is using its inventory to generate sales. The cost of sales is the direct cost of producing or purchasing the goods that are sold by the company, while the average stock is the average value of inventory held by the company over a given period of time. By dividing the cost of sales by the average stock, we can determine how many times the company's inventory was sold and replaced during that time period. This is the rate of turnover. A high rate of turnover indicates that the company is efficiently selling and replenishing its inventory, which can lead to higher profits and better cash flow. On the other hand, a low rate of turnover may indicate that the company is struggling to sell its inventory or is holding onto it for too long, which can lead to higher costs and lower profits. Therefore, it's important for companies to monitor their rate of turnover and aim for an optimal level based on their industry and business model.
Vraag 27 Verslag
Goods bought into the country for sale are the country's
Antwoorddetails
Goods that are brought into a country for sale are the country's visible imports. This is because visible imports refer to physical goods that are brought into a country from another country for consumption or resale. Examples of visible imports include raw materials, finished goods, and capital goods. These imports are visible because they can be physically seen and are recorded in the country's balance of payments, which is a record of all the economic transactions between that country and the rest of the world. In contrast, invisible imports refer to non-physical services that are provided by foreign entities, such as tourism or foreign investment. Similarly, visible exports are physical goods that are produced domestically and sold to foreign countries, while invisible exports are non-physical services that are provided domestically to foreign entities. Therefore, the correct option is visible imports.

Antwoorddetails
One of the functions of commercial banks that cannot be performed by central banks is the collection of deposits from the public. Commercial banks are financial institutions that accept deposits from individuals and businesses and use those funds to make loans to others. Central banks, on the other hand, are responsible for implementing monetary policy and maintaining financial stability. While central banks do play a role in regulating commercial banks, they do not accept deposits from the public like commercial banks do. Therefore, the collection of deposits from the public is a function that is unique to commercial banks and cannot be performed by central banks.
Vraag 29 Verslag
Which of the following is not an objective of ECOWAS?
Antwoorddetails
The objective of ECOWAS that is not listed among the options is the "promotion of a common language." ECOWAS stands for the Economic Community of West African States, and it is a regional intergovernmental organization of countries in West Africa. The organization was established to promote economic integration and cooperation among its member countries, which currently number 15. The other three options listed - improvement of infrastructural facilities, encouragement of free movement of people, and encouragement of trade among member countries - are all key objectives of ECOWAS. Improving infrastructure such as roads, power supply, and communication networks helps to create a more conducive environment for trade and economic growth. Encouraging free movement of people allows citizens of member states to travel, work, and do business more easily across borders. And promoting trade among member countries helps to increase economic activity, create jobs, and reduce poverty in the region. While promoting a common language could be seen as a useful means of improving communication and cooperation among member countries, it is not listed as an official objective of ECOWAS.
Vraag 30 Verslag
The provision of services is classified under
Antwoorddetails
The provision of services is classified under "tertiary production." In economics, production refers to the creation of goods and services. While goods are physical products that we can touch and see, services are intangible products that are offered by businesses to meet the needs of consumers. Tertiary production is also known as the service sector and includes businesses that provide services to consumers and other businesses. This includes services such as healthcare, education, transportation, hospitality, financial services, and consulting. The provision of services, therefore, falls under tertiary production because it involves the delivery of intangible products to customers. Unlike goods, services cannot be stored or transported, and they are produced and consumed at the same time. In contrast, batch production and flow production are terms used to describe the production of goods in a manufacturing context. Batch production involves the production of a specific quantity of a product at one time, while flow production involves continuous production of goods on an assembly line. Secondary production refers to the manufacturing of goods from raw materials, which is typically associated with the primary production sector of the economy.

Antwoorddetails
An agreement that is enforceable in law is called a "contract." A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties. It is created when one party makes an offer, and the other party accepts that offer, which leads to an agreement. The parties to a contract are legally bound to fulfill the terms of the contract, and failure to do so may result in legal action. For a contract to be legally enforceable, it must meet certain requirements. First, there must be an offer made by one party to another. The offer must be clear and unambiguous, and it must be communicated to the other party. Second, there must be an acceptance of the offer by the other party. The acceptance must be clear and unambiguous, and it must be communicated to the party making the offer. Third, there must be consideration, which is something of value that is exchanged between the parties. Consideration can take the form of money, goods, services, or a promise to do something. Finally, the parties must have the legal capacity to enter into the contract. This means that they must be of legal age, sound mind, and not under duress or undue influence. In summary, a contract is an agreement that is enforceable in law. It is created when one party makes an offer, the other party accepts that offer, there is consideration, and the parties have the legal capacity to enter into the contract.

Antwoorddetails
A contract will not be discharged through performance if one or both parties do not fully fulfill their obligations as specified in the agreement. In this case, the contract may still be considered valid and enforceable, and the non-performing party may be held liable for damages or breach of contract. However, if both parties agree to modify the terms of the contract or to release each other from their obligations, the contract may be discharged through agreement. Additionally, a contract may be discharged through acceptance, which occurs when both parties agree to terminate the contract by mutual consent. Finally, a contract may be discharged through breach if one party fails to fulfill their obligations and the other party chooses to terminate the contract as a result.

Antwoorddetails
A country's visible balance of payment is made up of earnings from goods exported. The visible balance of payment is the part of a country's balance of payments that records all of the transactions involving tangible goods, such as exports and imports of goods. It is called the "visible" balance of payment because these transactions are visible and can be easily measured. The earnings from goods exported refer to the money earned by a country from the sale of goods to other countries. This includes both raw materials and finished goods, and can include agricultural products, manufactured goods, and natural resources. The visible balance of payment is an important measure of a country's economic health, as it provides information about a country's competitiveness in global markets and its ability to generate income from its exports.

A specially-designed mode of transport for conveying liquid and gas is a "tanker". A tanker is a type of ship or vehicle designed to carry large quantities of liquid or gas cargo, such as oil, natural gas, or chemicals. Tankers are designed to safely transport their cargo, which is often hazardous or flammable, over long distances across the sea or land. Tankers are designed with special features to prevent leakage or spillage of their cargo. For example, oil tankers have double hulls to prevent oil spills in the event of an accident or collision. Tankers also have special pumps and pipelines for loading and unloading their cargo. In summary, a "tanker" is a type of specialized transport designed to safely transport large quantities of liquid and gas cargo, such as oil and natural gas, over long distances.

Antwoorddetails
The type of retail business that sells goods by post using a catalogue is called a "mail order firm." A mail order firm is a company that allows customers to purchase goods from a catalogue without visiting a physical store. Customers can browse through a catalogue or an online store, select the items they want to buy, and place an order. The goods are then delivered to the customer's address by post or courier. The catalogue typically contains pictures and descriptions of the products that the company offers for sale. Customers can choose to pay for the goods using a variety of payment options, such as credit card, debit card, or bank transfer. Mail order firms are popular because they offer convenience to customers who may not have the time or ability to visit a physical store. They also offer a wider range of products than a physical store because they can source products from all over the world. In summary, a mail order firm is a retail business that sells goods by post using a catalogue or online store, allowing customers to purchase products without visiting a physical store.

The marketing concept emphasizes
Antwoorddetails
The marketing concept emphasizes that a business should focus on meeting the needs and wants of its customers while also achieving its own business goals. This means that a business should strive to create products or services that are desired by its target customers and then promote and sell those products in a way that meets the customers' needs and also generates a profit for the business. In other words, the marketing concept is based on the idea that the customer is the most important part of the business, and that the business should be oriented around creating value for the customer in order to build long-term relationships and loyalty. This may involve researching customer needs and preferences, developing innovative products, creating effective marketing campaigns, and providing high-quality customer service and support. By focusing on customer satisfaction, a business can build a strong reputation, increase customer loyalty and repeat business, and ultimately achieve long-term success and profitability. This is in contrast to other approaches that may prioritize sales, production, or promotion, but may not necessarily lead to the same level of customer satisfaction and loyalty.

A prospectus is a legal document that a company must produce and distribute to potential investors when it is issuing new shares to the public. The prospectus contains important information about the company, its business, its financial performance, and the terms and conditions of the share offering. It is intended to provide potential investors with all the information they need to make an informed decision about whether or not to invest in the company's shares. Therefore, when a company issues a prospectus, it is inviting members of the public to subscribe to its shares by buying them. By doing so, investors become part-owners of the company and are entitled to a share of the company's profits and voting rights at shareholder meetings.

Antwoorddetails
One advantage of small scale retail outlets is personal attention to customers. Small scale retail outlets are businesses that are typically locally-owned and operated, and have a smaller physical footprint than larger retailers. Because small scale retail outlets are often run by the owner or a small staff, they are able to provide more personal attention to their customers. This can include offering customized recommendations, remembering customers' preferences and purchase history, and providing a more personalized shopping experience. Personal attention can also lead to stronger relationships between the retailer and the customer, which can result in increased loyalty and repeat business. This is an advantage that larger retailers, who may have more impersonal shopping experiences, may not be able to offer.
