which of the following is not a reason for imposing a tariff? to

correct an adverse balance of payments

raise revenue for the government

encourage imports

protect infant industries

encourage the consumption of home-produced goods

Awọn alaye Idahun

The reason for imposing a tariff that is not included in the list is to encourage imports. A tariff is a tax that a government imposes on imported goods or services. Tariffs are usually imposed for economic or political reasons. The five main reasons for imposing a tariff are as follows: - To correct an adverse balance of payments: If a country is importing more goods than it is exporting, it may impose a tariff on imports to reduce the amount of foreign currency leaving the country. - To raise revenue for the government: Governments can generate revenue by imposing tariffs on imported goods or services. - To protect infant industries: Governments may impose tariffs to protect new or emerging industries that are not yet able to compete with established industries in other countries. - To encourage the consumption of home-produced goods: By increasing the cost of imported goods, tariffs can make domestically produced goods more competitive. - To restrict the importation of goods for political reasons: Governments may impose tariffs as a way of putting pressure on other countries to change their policies or behavior. Therefore, the correct answer is to encourage imports, as a tariff is intended to make imported goods more expensive and less attractive to consumers in order to protect domestic industries and encourage the consumption of home-produced goods.

Cameroon is not a member of ECOWAS. ECOWAS stands for the Economic Community of West African States, which is a regional intergovernmental organization established in 1975 with the aim of promoting economic integration and cooperation among its member states. As the name suggests, it is primarily focused on West African countries. Nigeria, Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Ghana are all West African countries and are members of ECOWAS. However, Cameroon is not a West African country and therefore is not a member of ECOWAS. Cameroon is located in Central Africa, and it is a member of a different regional intergovernmental organization called the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). In summary, Cameroon is not a member of ECOWAS, while Nigeria, Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Ghana are all members of ECOWAS.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Staffing is not a factor of product. The factors of production are the resources that are used to produce goods and services. The traditional factors of production are land, labor, capital, and organization. Land refers to all natural resources that are used in production, including land itself, minerals, and water. Labor refers to the human effort that is used in production, including physical and mental skills. Capital refers to the financial resources, machinery, and equipment that are used in production. Organization refers to the ability to coordinate the other factors of production to produce goods and services efficiently. Staffing, on the other hand, refers to the process of finding, hiring, and managing employees to work in an organization. While staffing is an important aspect of running a business, it is not considered a factor of production because it is not directly involved in the process of producing goods or services.

Awọn alaye Idahun

A speculator in the stock exchange market who sells securities in expectation of a fall in their prices is called a "bear". The term "bear" is used to describe someone who believes that the market or a particular stock is going to go down or decline in value. A bear may sell securities or stocks that they do not currently own, hoping to buy them back at a lower price in the future, thereby making a profit from the difference. The opposite of a bear is a "bull", which is a term used to describe someone who believes that the market or a particular stock is going to go up or increase in value. Both bears and bulls can be speculators or investors, but they have different views on the future direction of the market. In summary, a "bear" is a speculator in the stock exchange market who sells securities in anticipation of a price decline.

When a company issues shares, it means they are selling ownership in the company to the public. In this case, the company is advertising an issue of one million ordinary shares of 50kobo and 65kobo per share. The difference in the share price is likely due to the fact that one price is for fully paid shares, while the other is for partially paid shares. If the issue is fully paid, it means that shareholders have paid the full amount of the share price. So, for one million ordinary shares at 65kobo per share, the company will collect N650,000.00 (65kobo x 1,000,000 shares). Therefore, the correct answer is N650,000.00.

Fidelity guarantee is an insurance cover against loss arising from?

trade debts

personal accidents

dishonest staff

fire disaster

sea disaster

Awọn alaye Idahun

Fidelity guarantee is an insurance cover that protects a business or organization against financial losses caused by the dishonest or fraudulent actions of their employees. This type of insurance provides coverage for losses that result from theft, embezzlement, forgery, or other fraudulent activities committed by employees. It does not provide coverage for other types of losses such as trade debts, personal accidents, fire disaster, or sea disaster. It is specifically designed to cover losses that result from employee fraud or dishonesty. So, if an employee steals from the company, for example, the fidelity guarantee insurance policy would provide financial compensation to the business to help recover from the losses incurred due to the employee's actions.

One advantage of personal selling is immediate feedback. Personal selling is a method of selling in which a salesperson communicates with a potential customer in person or through other means of direct communication, such as phone, email, or video call.

The salesperson can use this feedback to modify their sales pitch and address any concerns or objections that the customer may have. Immediate feedback also helps to build a relationship between the salesperson and the customer, which can lead to increased trust, loyalty, and repeat business. Other advantages of personal selling include the ability to provide personalized service, establish a rapport with the customer, and tailor the sales message to the specific needs of the customer.

The element of the marketing mix that is not included in the standard set of four elements is merchandising. The marketing mix refers to the set of tools that a business uses to promote its products or services to customers. The four main elements of the marketing mix are product, pricing, promotion, and distribution. - Product refers to the goods or services that a business offers to customers. - Pricing refers to the price that a business charges for its products or services. - Promotion refers to the methods that a business uses to communicate with customers and promote its products or services, such as advertising, sales promotion, public relations, and personal selling. - Distribution refers to the methods that a business uses to make its products or services available to customers, such as through retail stores, online sales, or direct mail. Merchandising, on the other hand, refers to the visual display of products in a retail store, including the design and layout of the store, product packaging, and product placement on shelves. While important for the sale of products, it is not considered a separate element of the marketing mix. Therefore, the correct answer is merchandising.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Television combines the advantages of sound and motion in advertising. Television is a powerful advertising medium that uses both visual and auditory components to deliver its message. Advertisements on television are typically presented in the form of video commercials, which can feature moving images, music, voice-overs, and sound effects to capture the viewer's attention and communicate the message. The use of sound and motion in television advertising helps to make the message more engaging and memorable, as it appeals to both the visual and auditory senses of the viewer. Compared to other advertising media such as radio, press, neon signs, and hoardings, television advertising has the advantage of being able to combine both sound and motion. While radio advertising can use sound to deliver its message, it lacks the visual component that television provides. Similarly, press advertisements are limited to static images and text, while neon signs and hoardings may be visually attractive but lack the ability to incorporate sound. In summary, television advertising is the advertising medium that combines the advantages of sound and motion, making it a powerful tool for capturing the viewer's attention and delivering the advertising message effectively.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The option that is not a means of raising capital by a promoter is "goodwill". Goodwill is an intangible asset that represents the reputation and value of a business or brand. It is not a source of funds that a promoter can use to raise capital for a business venture. On the other hand, borrowing, selling of shares, selling real assets, and past savings are all viable means of raising capital for a business venture. Borrowing involves taking loans from banks or other financial institutions, while selling of shares involves offering a portion of the ownership of the business to investors in exchange for funds. Selling real assets involves selling physical properties or assets that the business owns, while past savings refer to the personal funds that the promoter has accumulated over time and can use to invest in the business. In summary, while goodwill is an important asset for a business, it cannot be used as a means of raising capital by a promoter.

One function of money is to serve as a standard for deferred payment. Money can act as a means of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account. As a standard for deferred payment, money enables transactions to occur over time. This means that money can be used to settle debts or make purchases that will be paid off at a later date. By providing a standard for deferred payment, money enables individuals and businesses to make plans for the future, invest in long-term projects, and manage risk. For example, if someone buys a car on credit, they are using money as a standard for deferred payment. The buyer agrees to pay a certain amount of money at specified intervals over a certain period of time. The seller agrees to accept this money in exchange for the car, with the understanding that the payments will be made according to the agreed-upon schedule. In summary, one function of money is to serve as a standard for deferred payment. Money enables transactions to occur over time and allows individuals and businesses to plan for the future, invest in long-term projects, and manage risk.

Money spent for the day-to-day running of a business is called working capital. Working capital represents the funds that a business needs to maintain its daily operations, such as paying for raw materials, salaries, rent, utilities, and other expenses.

Current assets include cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, while current liabilities include accounts payable, short-term loans, and other debts that must be paid within one year. Having sufficient working capital is crucial for a business to maintain its operations and meet its financial obligations. A shortage of working capital can lead to difficulties in paying bills and suppliers, resulting in disruptions to the business's operations. Therefore, the correct answer is working capital.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The main source of income for a limited liability company is share subscriptions. A limited liability company is a type of business structure where the owners are not personally liable for the company's debts or liabilities. Instead, the company is considered a separate legal entity that can own assets, enter into contracts, and generate income. One way a limited liability company can generate income is by issuing shares to investors in exchange for capital. These shares represent ownership in the company and entitle the shareholder to a portion of the profits. Share subscriptions can be a significant source of income for the company, especially during the early stages of its development when it may not yet have a steady stream of revenue from operations. While a limited liability company may also generate income from bank loans, overdrafts, undistributed profits, or government subsidies, these sources of income are generally considered secondary to share subscriptions. In summary, the main source of income for a limited liability company is share subscriptions, which represent ownership in the company and entitle shareholders to a portion of the profits.

the main purpose of establishing a public corporation is to?

make profit

provide employment

provide essential services

compete with entrepreneurs

establish a monopoly

Awọn alaye Idahun

The main purpose of establishing a public corporation is to provide essential services. A public corporation is a type of business organization that is owned and operated by the government. The primary objective of a public corporation is to provide essential services that are important for the well-being of the public, such as healthcare, education, transportation, energy, and communication. Public corporations are created to ensure that these services are provided to the public in an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable manner. They are not primarily established to make a profit or compete with entrepreneurs, although they may generate revenue to cover their costs and reinvest in their operations. Providing employment opportunities may be a secondary objective of public corporations, as they often require a workforce to deliver their services. Establishing a monopoly is not a typical objective of public corporations, as they are usually subject to government regulation and oversight to ensure fair competition in the market.

The taking over by state of ownership and control of certain business enterprises is known as?

indigenization

nationalization

privatization

commercialization

rationalization

Awọn alaye Idahun

The taking over by the state of ownership and control of certain business enterprises is known as nationalization. Nationalization is a process in which the government takes control of privately-owned businesses or industries and makes them public or state-owned. The reasons for nationalization may vary, but they often include the desire to promote public welfare, ensure economic stability, or protect national interests. The industries that are often nationalized include those that are essential to the economy or those that provide vital services such as utilities, transportation, or telecommunications. When an industry or business is nationalized, the government assumes full ownership and control. This means that the state is responsible for managing and regulating the operations of the business, including the hiring of employees, setting prices, and making investment decisions. Therefore, the correct answer is nationalization.

A holding company assumes control of its subsidiaries through?

taking over routine administration

becoming the principle customer

majority shareholding

paying all the debts outright

taking over only the assets

Awọn alaye Idahun

A holding company assumes control of its subsidiaries through "majority shareholding." This means that the holding company owns more than 50% of the shares in the subsidiary company, giving it the power to control the subsidiary's operations and decision-making processes. The holding company can appoint the board of directors and management team of the subsidiary, and can influence the subsidiary's strategic direction and financial decisions. By owning a majority of the shares, the holding company has the ability to approve or reject important proposals, such as mergers or acquisitions, and can veto decisions that are not in its best interest. This allows the holding company to exert significant control over the subsidiary without having to take over routine administration or pay all the debts outright.

the individual member's capital is limited

the total sum of the company's capital is limited

members are liable to the extent of their holding

company's location is limited

a shareholder has only one vote

Awọn alaye Idahun

This means that in the event of the company's insolvency or failure, the personal assets of the members are protected, and they cannot be held personally liable for any debts or losses incurred by the company beyond the amount of their investment. Therefore, the correct answer is "members are liable to the extent of their holding."

With the exception of life assurance and personal accident insurance, contracts of insurance are contracts of?

premium

indemnity

proximate cause

utmost good faith

general average cause

Awọn alaye Idahun

With the exception of life assurance and personal accident insurance, contracts of insurance are contracts of indemnity. Indemnity means compensation for loss or damage suffered by the insured party. In the context of insurance, indemnity refers to the payment that the insurer is obligated to make to the insured in the event of a covered loss or damage. The purpose of insurance is to provide financial protection against unforeseen events that can result in losses, such as accidents, theft, fire, or natural disasters. When the insured party suffers a loss, they can make a claim with the insurer to receive compensation for their losses, up to the limit of the insurance coverage. The payment made by the insurer is intended to indemnify the insured for their losses, rather than to provide a profit or windfall. Life assurance and personal accident insurance are exceptions to this general rule, as they provide benefits that are not strictly based on indemnity, such as death benefits or disability benefits.

The oldest and commonest form of business in Nigeria is?

partnership

the co-operative society

sole proprietorship

joint stock veture

public corporation

Awọn alaye Idahun

The oldest and commonest form of business in Nigeria is the Sole Proprietorship. A sole proprietorship is a type of business owned and run by a single person. It is the simplest form of business organization, and it requires no formal registration or legal process to start. In Nigeria, most small businesses, such as small shops, food vendors, and petty traders, are run as sole proprietorships. The main advantage of this form of business is that the owner has complete control over the business and can make all decisions independently. Additionally, the owner receives all profits generated by the business. However, the main disadvantage of a sole proprietorship is that the owner is personally liable for all debts and obligations of the business. This means that if the business incurs debts, the owner's personal assets may be used to settle those debts. In summary, the oldest and commonest form of business in Nigeria is the Sole Proprietorship, which is owned and run by a single person. It is the simplest form of business organization and is commonly used for small businesses.

I, II & III only

II & IV only

I, II & IV only

II & III only

I & III only

Awọn alaye Idahun

The arguments in favor of establishing ECOWAS are: I. The countries concerned would be able to expand market beyond their territorial boundaries. This means that member countries of ECOWAS can trade with each other freely without restrictions, which can lead to increased trade, investment, and economic growth. II. Currency union is the final objective of member countries. This means that member countries of ECOWAS are working towards a common currency, which can facilitate trade and investment further, as well as reducing transaction costs. IV. Free movement across the borders of members would be allowed. This means that citizens of member countries of ECOWAS can travel and work freely in other member countries without any restrictions, which can lead to increased job opportunities and cultural exchange. Therefore, the correct option is: I, II & IV only. Option II & III only is incorrect because capital movement is allowed across the boundaries in ECOWAS. Option I & III only is also incorrect because free movement across the borders of members is allowed in ECOWAS.

Awọn alaye Idahun

In insurance, the term Uberrimae fidei stands for utmost good faith. It means that the parties involved in an insurance contract must act in complete honesty and disclose all material facts that could affect the insurance coverage. The insurance company relies on the information provided by the policyholder to determine the risk and calculate the premium. Therefore, it is the duty of the policyholder to provide accurate and complete information. Failure to do so can result in the insurance policy being voided, and the insured party will not receive any compensation in case of loss or damage.
