Vraag 2 Verslag
One of these is not a way by which government encourage industrialization?
Antwoorddetails
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.

Most of the National debts is "dead weight" in the sense that is____
Antwoorddetails
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.

An economy system that uses what is regarded as the "Market mechanism" is called_______
Antwoorddetails
Capitalism is an economic system that uses the market mechanism. In a capitalist economy, individuals and businesses own and operate the means of production, and the prices of goods and services are determined by supply and demand in the marketplace. In simple terms, this means that people are free to produce and sell whatever they want, and consumers are free to buy whatever they want, at prices that are determined by the market. This creates an economy that is driven by competition and innovation, and is often associated with growth and prosperity. It is important to note that capitalism can take on different forms, ranging from a more laissez-faire approach with minimal government intervention, to a more regulated form with a larger role for the government in managing the economy.

The determination of wages in a labour market depends on the_______
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 8 Verslag
The arithmetic mean of 5, 8, 10, 15, 24 and 28 is_______
Antwoorddetails
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.

A rise in the supply of a commodity cause__________
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 14 Verslag
If the demand for a commodity is perfectly elastic, the incidence of a tax on that commodity will be, other things being equal, entirely on the_______
Antwoorddetails
If the demand for a commodity is perfectly elastic, it means that even a small change in price will cause a significant change in the quantity demanded. In other words, consumers are very sensitive to changes in price, and if the price increases, they will simply buy another substitute product that is cheaper. Now, if a tax is imposed on this commodity, it will cause the price of the commodity to increase. Since the demand is perfectly elastic, consumers will not be willing to pay the higher price and will switch to substitute products. As a result, the entire incidence of the tax falls on the seller or producer of the commodity. This is because the higher price caused by the tax will result in a decrease in the quantity demanded, and the producer will have to reduce the price in order to sell the product. Therefore, the producer bears the entire burden of the tax. In summary, if the demand for a commodity is perfectly elastic, the incidence of a tax on that commodity will be entirely on the seller or producer, as consumers are very sensitive to price changes and will switch to substitute products if the price increases.

The oil boom between 1970 - 1980 caused the oil sector to become____________
Antwoorddetails
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.

The basic and essential economic problems in a community are related to choice and________
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 20 Verslag
The use of government income and expenditure instrument to regulate the economy is termed______
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 21 Verslag
The following are measures of location except________
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 23 Verslag
Let the quantity demanded in units of a particular commodity be represented as Qd = 80 - 2P, find the quantity demanded when P = ₦3.
Antwoorddetails
The quantity demanded (Qd) of a commodity is related to its price (P) through the equation Qd = 80 - 2P. So, if we know the price of the commodity, we can use this equation to find the quantity demanded. In this case, the price is given as ₦3. So, we can plug in this value of price into the equation to find the quantity demanded: Qd = 80 - 2P Qd = 80 - 2 * 3 Qd = 80 - 6 Qd = 74 Therefore, the quantity demanded when the price is ₦3 is 74 units.

Antwoorddetails
"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.
Vraag 25 Verslag
In a perfect competition, the market price is determined by_______
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 26 Verslag
The demand for labour is a________
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 27 Verslag
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
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 29 Verslag
Let capital formation = CF, Production = P, C = consumption. Then CF =_______
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 30 Verslag
A supply curve slopes upwards from the left to the right indicating__________
Antwoorddetails
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.

Whether a monopolist is able to increase his revenue by restricting his output depends on the shape of the_________
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 34 Verslag
Restrictive monetary policy is designed to curtail aggregate demand and to overcome________
Antwoorddetails
Restrictive monetary policy is designed to overcome inflation. Inflation is when the overall price level in an economy is rising, and the value of money is decreasing. The central bank can use restrictive monetary policy to reduce the amount of money in circulation and decrease aggregate demand, which will in turn help to curb inflation. For example, the central bank may increase interest rates, which makes borrowing money more expensive and reduces consumer spending. It may also sell government bonds, which reduces the amount of money available in the banking system. This type of policy is called restrictive because it restricts or slows down the growth of the economy, which helps to control inflation.
Vraag 35 Verslag
A contractionary monetary policy is used to control__________
Antwoorddetails
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.
Vraag 36 Verslag

Antwoorddetails
Scarce. This means that there is not enough of a certain resource to meet the demand or needs of everyone in the community. As a result, choices have to be made about how to allocate these limited resources among different individuals, groups, or uses. When resources are scarce, it is important to make decisions about their use in the most efficient and effective way possible.
Vraag 37 Verslag
The lands that belong to the community is referred to as__________
Antwoorddetails
The lands that belong to the community as a whole, rather than to individuals, are referred to as "communal land." Communal land is a type of property that is owned and managed collectively by a community, rather than by individual landowners. In many cases, communal land is held by a community as a shared resource that is used for various purposes, such as farming, grazing, or hunting. Communal land can be found in various forms, including indigenous lands, public lands, and lands held in common by small communities. These lands are often governed by customary or traditional rules and practices that have been developed over time by the community members. The use and management of communal land can be beneficial for communities that depend on the land for their livelihoods, as it allows for collective decision-making and sharing of resources. However, it can also present challenges when there are disputes over land use or when outside interests seek to exploit the resources on communal land.

Antwoorddetails
In 1976, there were 8 live births for every 1,000 people in the population of the country. This means that for a population of 10 million people, there would be 8 x 10,000 = 80,000 live births in the country.
Vraag 40 Verslag
The purchasing power of money depends upon the__________
Antwoorddetails
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.
