Awọn alaye Idahun
One of the major disadvantages of pipeline transportation is its high cost of construction. Building a pipeline network requires a significant amount of capital investment, especially when compared to other forms of transportation. The cost of laying pipes, purchasing land, and securing permits can be substantial, which can make it difficult for smaller companies or less developed regions to invest in this type of infrastructure. In addition, the long distances and complex terrain involved in pipeline construction can also contribute to higher costs. These costs can also be further compounded by the ongoing maintenance and repair required to keep the pipeline network operating safely and effectively.

Awọn alaye Idahun
The most important function of commerce is facilitating exchange among individuals and firms. This means that commerce helps people and businesses to buy and sell goods and services to each other. It makes it possible for people to get what they need and want by trading with others, without having to produce everything they need themselves. This is important because it allows for specialization, where individuals and firms can focus on producing what they do best, and then trade with others for the rest. This leads to greater efficiency and a higher standard of living for everyone.

Awọn alaye Idahun
In the event of voluntary liquidation, the responsibility of appointing a liquidator falls on the directors of the company. Voluntary liquidation occurs when a company decides to wind up its affairs and dissolve the company voluntarily, rather than being forced to do so by court order or other external factors. Once the decision to liquidate has been made, the directors must convene a meeting of the company's shareholders to obtain their approval for the liquidation. If the shareholders approve the liquidation, the directors must then appoint a liquidator to manage the process of winding up the company's affairs, distributing its assets to creditors, and ultimately dissolving the company. While the directors have the responsibility to appoint the liquidator, they must ensure that the liquidator is a licensed insolvency practitioner who is qualified to act as a liquidator. The appointed liquidator will have the authority to act on behalf of the company, sell its assets, and distribute the proceeds to its creditors in accordance with the priorities set out in the law.

To make a simple contract valid, the intention must be?
Awọn alaye Idahun
To make a simple contract valid, the intention must be legal and binding. A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties, which outlines the terms and conditions of a particular transaction or relationship. For a contract to be valid, it must be formed with the intention of creating a legally binding relationship. This means that both parties must have a clear understanding of the terms and conditions of the contract, and they must agree to be bound by them. The terms of the contract can be verbal or written, but it is always advisable to have a written contract to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes in the future. Additionally, the terms of the contract must not violate any laws or regulations, and the parties must have the legal capacity to enter into the contract. For example, minors and individuals who are mentally incapacitated may not have the legal capacity to enter into a contract. Therefore, the correct answer is that for a simple contract to be valid, the intention must be legal and binding.

Balance of payment problems arise if a country's?
Awọn alaye Idahun
Balance of payment problems arise if a country's imports are more than exports. The balance of payments is a record of all financial transactions between a country and the rest of the world over a period of time. It includes transactions related to trade in goods and services, income flows, and financial flows. If a country's imports exceed its exports, it means that the country is spending more on foreign goods and services than it is earning from selling its own goods and services to foreign countries. This creates a trade deficit, which is a major cause of balance of payments problems. When a country has a trade deficit, it must borrow from foreign countries or sell assets to finance the deficit, which can lead to a buildup of foreign debt. Currency devaluation can also contribute to balance of payments problems by making imports more expensive and exports cheaper. However, it is not the only factor that affects the balance of payments. Additionally, the relative proportion of visible and invisible exports does not directly affect the balance of payments, but it can influence the balance of trade and the overall performance of the economy. Therefore, the correct answer is that balance of payment problems arise if a country's imports are more than exports.

Awọn alaye Idahun
An individual that links the producer with the retailer is a wholesaler.

Awọn alaye Idahun
The managerial ability of a supervisor in an organization may be underutilized if the span of control is wide. The span of control refers to the number of subordinates that a supervisor is responsible for managing. When the span of control is wide, the supervisor is responsible for a large number of subordinates, which can make it difficult to provide individual attention and guidance to each one. This can result in the supervisor's managerial ability being underutilized because they may not be able to effectively manage and develop each subordinate to their full potential. On the other hand, if the span of control is narrow, the supervisor has fewer subordinates to manage, which allows for more individual attention and guidance. This can result in the supervisor's managerial ability being fully utilized because they can effectively manage and develop each subordinate to their full potential. Therefore, if the span of control is wide, the supervisor's managerial ability may be underutilized because they may not be able to effectively manage and develop each subordinate. It is important for organizations to consider the span of control when assigning supervisors to ensure that their managerial abilities are fully utilized.

Awọn alaye Idahun
The agreement of insurers to spread risks among themselves is a major feature of reinsurance. In simple terms, reinsurance is the practice whereby an insurance company (the reinsurer) agrees to take on some of the risks that another insurance company (the insurer) has already taken on. This is done to limit the amount of risk that any one insurer has to bear, and to spread the risk across multiple companies. By doing so, insurers can protect themselves against losses that could be caused by catastrophic events or other unexpected occurrences. The reinsurer typically receives a premium for taking on this risk, and in return, agrees to pay out some or all of the claims that the insurer would otherwise have had to pay.

Awọn alaye Idahun
One of the functions of a retailer is the breaking of bulk. This refers to the process of buying goods in large quantities from wholesalers or manufacturers and then selling them in smaller quantities to individual customers. By breaking bulk, retailers make it easier for consumers to purchase goods in the quantities they need, rather than having to buy in large quantities that they may not be able to use or afford. Breaking bulk can also help to reduce the overall cost of goods, as retailers can negotiate better prices with wholesalers and manufacturers due to the larger volume of goods being purchased. Overall, breaking bulk is an important function of retailers that enables them to provide a valuable service to consumers while also generating profits for their businesses.

The major parties to an agency relationship are the?
Awọn alaye Idahun
The major parties to an agency relationship are the principal and the agent. An agency relationship is a legal arrangement where one party, the principal, hires another party, the agent, to act on their behalf in making transactions with third parties. The agent is authorized to perform certain acts on behalf of the principal and is expected to act in the best interests of the principal. The principal is the person or entity that hires the agent and gives them the authority to act on their behalf. The principal may be an individual, a company, or a government agency. The agent, on the other hand, is the person who is authorized to act on behalf of the principal. The agent may be an individual or a company, and they may be compensated for their services through a commission or other forms of payment. In contrast, a bailee and a bailor have a different type of relationship where the bailee is entrusted with the possession of the bailor's property for a specific purpose, and the shareholder and creditor relationship is based on ownership and debt, respectively, rather than on agency. Therefore, the correct answer is that the major parties to an agency relationship are the principal and the agent.
