What is the most important factor influencing the location of the iron and steel industry at Ajaokuta?

Availability of labour in the area

Availability of power

Nearness of raw material Juist antwoord

Access to transport facilities

Antwoorddetails

The most important factor influencing the location of the iron and steel industry at Ajaokuta is the nearness of raw material. Ajaokuta is located in Kogi state, which is close to large deposits of iron ore in Itakpe. This proximity to a reliable source of raw material is a crucial factor for the location of the iron and steel industry, as it reduces transportation costs and ensures a consistent supply of the necessary inputs for the production process. While the availability of labour, power, and access to transport facilities are also important factors, the proximity to raw material is considered the most significant factor in the location of the iron and steel industry at Ajaokuta.

Juist antwoord

Monopolistic competition

Perfect competition

Antwoorddetails

Pricing and output decisions of sellers are highly inter-dependent in markets known as Oligopoly. In an oligopoly market, a small number of firms dominate the market and each firm has a significant impact on the market. Therefore, the pricing and output decisions of one firm will have a significant impact on the other firms in the market. As a result, firms in an oligopoly market often engage in strategic behavior and consider the actions of their competitors when making pricing and output decisions.

Antwoorddetails

In Nigeria, cheques are not generally acceptable as a medium of exchange. While cheques can be used to transfer funds between bank accounts, they are not considered as a legal tender or widely accepted as a means of payment in Nigeria. Many businesses and individuals prefer to use cash or electronic payment options, such as bank transfers or mobile payments, for transactions. Additionally, while there may be challenges with banking access in some rural areas, the lack of banks in these areas does not directly impact the use of cheques in Nigeria.

Surplus in balance of payments leads to ________

Government budget surplus

Increase in foreign reserves Juist antwoord

Decrease in foreign reserves

None of the above

Antwoorddetails

An increase in foreign reserves is the correct answer. A surplus in the balance of payments means that a country is earning more from its exports and foreign investments than it is spending on imports and foreign investments. This leads to an inflow of foreign currency into the country, which increases its foreign reserves. Therefore, "Increase in foreign reserves," is the correct answer. A surplus in the balance of payments may or may not directly affect the government budget surplus, and it does not lead to a decrease in foreign reserves.

A firm is at its optimum size when ___________

It has a motive to increase output

It produces the greatest output at a minimum cost

Juist antwoord

Marginal cost equals marginal revenue

Marginal cost is less than marginal revenue

Antwoorddetails

A firm is at its optimum size when it produces the greatest output at a minimum cost. This means that the firm is operating at its most efficient level and is able to maximize its profits. While having a motive to increase output and ensuring that marginal cost is less than marginal revenue are important considerations, they do not necessarily guarantee that the firm is at its optimum size. The most important factor is to achieve the most efficient production level while minimizing costs.

If the quantity demanded of a commodity increases from 20 to 30 when there is an increase in price from N4 to N5, the elasticity of deman is_______

Zero

2 Juist antwoord

Antwoorddetails

The elasticity of demand can be calculated using the formula: Elasticity of Demand = % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price We can calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded as: % Change in Quantity Demanded = ((New Quantity Demanded - Old Quantity Demanded) / Old Quantity Demanded) x 100% % Change in Quantity Demanded = ((30 - 20) / 20) x 100% % Change in Quantity Demanded = 50% We can calculate the percentage change in price as: % Change in Price = ((New Price - Old Price) / Old Price) x 100% % Change in Price = ((5 - 4) / 4) x 100% % Change in Price = 25% Substituting these values in the formula, we get: Elasticity of Demand = 50% / 25% Elasticity of Demand = 2 Therefore, the elasticity of demand is 2.

The price mechanism______

Rations the consumers

Rewards the producers

Regulates supply and demand Juist antwoord

Allocates scarce resources.

Antwoorddetails

The price mechanism is a mechanism that allocates scarce resources by regulating supply and demand. When demand for a particular good or service increases, the price of that good or service will rise, which in turn encourages suppliers to increase the quantity of the good or service that they produce. Conversely, if demand for a good or service decreases, the price will fall, and suppliers will be less incentivized to produce that good or service. In this way, the price mechanism helps to efficiently allocate resources to their most valuable uses by providing incentives for both consumers and producers to make choices that are consistent with market conditions.

An economic problem arises when there are scarcity and choices involved. This is because there are limited resources to meet unlimited wants and needs, and individuals, businesses, and governments must make choices about how to allocate those resources efficiently. Scarcity is a fundamental concept in economics, and it necessitates the need to make choices, trade-offs, and prioritize between various wants and needs. The other options mentioned in the question (few sellers, many buyers, and short supply of money) may be factors that influence market conditions or individual economic decisions, but they are not the fundamental cause of the economic problem.

The international production set for Nigeria and Austria is;

From the table, it can be deduced that_______

Nigeria should produce cocoa and lace

Nigeria can benefit from producing lace only

Austria should produce lace and Nigeria should produce cocoa Juist antwoord

Austria should produce cocoa and lace

Antwoorddetails

From the table, it can be deduced that Nigeria should produce cocoa and Austria should produce lace. This is because Nigeria has a comparative advantage in producing cocoa since its opportunity cost of producing cocoa is lower than that of Austria, while Austria has a comparative advantage in producing lace since its opportunity cost of producing lace is lower than that of Nigeria. Therefore, each country should specialize in producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage and then trade with each other to maximize their total output and welfare.
