If a good is imported into (large) country H from country F, then the imposition of a tariff in country H does which of the following compared to the free trade situation.
A. raises the price of the good in both countries.
B. raises the price in country H and cannot affect its price in country F.
C. lowers the price of the good in both countries.
D. lowers the price of the good in H and could raise it in F.
E. raises the price of the good in H and lowers it in F.
Answer:
E. raises the price of the good in H and lowers it in F.
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Economic integration can be defined as a strategic trade arrangement between countries to eliminate or mitigate trade barriers, as well as coordinate fiscal and monetary policy among its members.
There are different types of market or trade bloc used in economic integration and these includes;
I. Customs union.
II. Free trade area.
III. Common market.
IV. Political union.
VI. Economic union.
Tariffs can be defined as government imposed levies, fees or duties on goods that are imported into or exported out of a country.
Generally, tariffs can reduce both the volume of exports and imports in a country. In order to generate revenues, domestic government make use of tariffs while quotas do not generate any revenue for them.
Hence, importing a good from country F into (large) country H with an imposition of a tariff in country H would raise the price of the good in H (import) and lowers it in F (export), when compared to a free trade situation.
A free trade area (zone) can be defined as an economic area wherein goods are exported or imported from one country to another without being subjected to normal trade laws such as quotas, bureaucratic requirements and tariffs of the country. Thus, a free trade area (zone) stimulates or enhances foreign trade, investment and globalization.
Answer:
E. raises the price of the good in H and lowers it in F.
Explanation:
Free trade focuses on the reduction of barriers and policies that favor certain countries or industries. Fair trade, however, favors the rights of workers, improved working conditions and seeks to eliminate pay discrepancies from country to country.

Oil reserves buried deep underground are _____. Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. infinite take hundreds of years to replenish largely inside U.S. borders finite and take millions of years to replenish take hundreds of years to replenish and largely lie outside U.S. borders
Answer:
finite and take millions of years to replenish
Explanation:
Oil reserves can be regarded as a the amount of crude oil which can be recovered technically at a cost which is feasible financially as regards present price of oil. Therefore, there will always be change in reserve with the price, compare with oil resources, that encompass all oil which can be technically recovered at any price.
Oil reserves can also be explained as estimate amount of crude oil that is been located in a particular economic region. oil reserves always posses potential of being extracted through current technological constraints. Calculations of Reserves based on a proven/probable basis, which means that oil pools which is situated in unattainable depths, cannot be said to be part of a nation's reserves. It should be noted that Oil reserves buried deep underground are finite and take millions of years to replenish

1.Is the demand for Good X Elastic or Inelastic between $9 and $10? Use the above demand schedule to answer this. explain(3 marks)
2.What happens to the Demand Curve of a Good X if the price of Good Y (a
substitute good) increases?Explain why the demand curve for Good X changed?(3 marks)
3.What type of demand would there be for a good that had NO substitutes? explain(2 marks)
4.There is an expectation that the
price of the product will soon
fall, what happens to demand(2 marks)
class 10 icse economics applications- chapter- demand pls help me i need urgent answer i will be very grateful pls help me
Answer:
1. Demand for good X is Elastic
2. The demand curve for good X shifts outward or rightward.
If the price of good Y increases, good Y becomes more expensive. Thus, the quantity demand of good y decreases. Consumers shift to the consumption of good X. As a result, there would be an increase in the demand for good X. The demand curve for good X shifts outward or rightward.
3. Demand would be inelastic if there were no substitutes.
If there is an increase in the price of the good, consumers cannot not shift to the consumption of a cheaper substitute. As a result, quantity demand would be less sensitive to changes in price.
4. If there is an expectation of a future reduction in price, there would be a fall in demand now. the demand curve would shift inward or leftward.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
Elasticity of demand for good X = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
percentage change in quantity demanded = (150 / 110) - 1 = 0.364 = 36.4%
percentage change in price = (9/10) - 1 = 0.1 = -10%
Elasticity = 36.4 / -10 = -3.64 = 3.64
the coefficient of elasticity is greater than one, so demand is elastic
2. Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
If the price of good Y increases, good Y becomes more expensive. Thus, the quantity demand of good y decreases. Consumers shift to the consumption of good X. As a result, there would be an increase in the demand for good X. The demand curve for good X shifts outward or rightward.
3. Demand would be inelastic if there were no substitutes.
If there is an increase in the price of the good, consumers cannot not shift to the consumption of a cheaper substitute. As a result, quantity demand would be less sensitive to changes in price.
4. If there is an expectation of a future reduction in price, there would be a fall in demand now. the demand curve would shift inward or leftward.

Kurt's Adventures, Inc. stock is quite cyclical. In a boom economy, the stock is expected to return 30% in comparison to 12% in a normal economy and a negative 20% in a recessionary period. The probability of a recession is 15%. There is a 30% chance of a boom economy. The remainder of the time the economy will be at normal levels. What is the standard deviation of the returns on Kurt's Adventures, Inc. stock
Answer:
15.83%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine is the standard deviation of the returns on Kurt’s Adventures, Inc. stock
First step is to determine l E(r)
E(r) = (.30 *.30) + (.55 *.12) + (.15 *-.20)
E(r)= .09 + .066 -.03
E(r)= .126
Second step is to determine Var
Var = .30 *(.30 -.126)^2 + .55 *(.12 -.126)^2 + .15 *(-.20 -.126)
Var=0090828 +.0000198 + .0159414
Var= .025044
Now let determine the Std dev
Std dev = √.025044 = .15825
Std dev= 15.83 percent
Therefore the standard deviation of the returns on Kurt’s Adventures, Inc. stock.is 15.83 percent
An automotive company has three divisions. One division manufactures new replacements parts for automobiles, another rebuilds engines, and the third does repair and overhaul work on a line of trucks. All three divisions use the services of a central payroll department. The best method of allocating the cost of the payroll department to the various operating divisions is Select one: a. total labor hours incurred in the divisions b. machine hours used in the divisions c. value of production in the divisions d. direct labor costs incurred in the divisions
Answer: a. total labor hours incurred in the divisions
Explanation:
The best way to allocate payroll costs would be to apportion it by hour. The labor in the various departments should work by the hour and then the total amount of hours worked in the division will then be used as the base for payroll because it would show how much people in that division worked and how much they need to be compensated for doing so.
For instance, assume the total payroll cost is $1,000,000 and Division A worked 2,000 hours, Division B worked 4,000 hours and Division C worked 4,000 hours. The payroll would be apportioned as follows:
Division A = 2,000 / (2,000 + 4,000 + 4,000) * 1,000,000 = $200,000
Division B = 4,000 / (2,000 + 4,000 + 4,000) * 1,000,000 = $400,000
Division A = 4,000 / (2,000 + 4,000 + 4,000) * 1,000,000 = $400,000

Hutchison Whampoa Limited (HWL) has businesses in ports and related services, telecommunications, property and hotels, retail and manufacturing, and energy and infrastructure. HWL makes no efforts to share activities or transfer core competencies among the businesses. HWL is following a strategy of __________ diversification. a. dominant business b. unrelated c. related linked d. related constrained
Answer: b. unrelated
Explanation:
There are several types of diversification strategies that a company can follow in order to better take advantages of the opportunities offered by integrating business interests in various industries.
Some companies are not like this however as they follow an unrelated diversification policy where they do not integrate the different divisions that make up the company or make any effort to transfer core competencies. Instead they generally add divisions that do not relate with the previous divisions that they have and leave them to run on their own.
This is what Hutchison Whampoa is doing so this is an unrelated diversification strategy.

In the early 1980s, a new technology was introduced to banks where customers could withdraw their money without having to enter the bank or keep baking hours. As the first ATMs began to be introduced to more and more banks, it began to have an effect on bank personnel. Thinking about the bank environment, identify who would most likely be impacted by this technology change and suffer long term structural unemployment
Answer: A bank teller with 4 years of relevant work experience and a high school diploma
Explanation:
Structural unemployment refers to an unemployment that is caused as a result of the mismatch between the skills that an individual has and the skills that an employer wants from his or her employees.
With the introduction of the automated teller machine, the person that will be affected is the bank teller with 4 years of relevant work experience and a high school diploma because the person helps in handling cash and giving out funds to the customers inside the bank but the ATM can solve this.

define the term corporate social responsibility and give one practical example
Answer:
Definition: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a self-regulating business model that helps a company be socially accountable—to itself, its stakeholders, and the public. By practicing corporate social responsibility, also called corporate citizenship, companies can be conscious of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of society, including economic, social, and environmental.
To engage in CSR means that, in the ordinary course of business, a company is operating in ways that enhance society and the environment, instead of contributing negatively to them.
Example: Starbucks has long been known for its keen sense of corporate social responsibility and commitment to sustainability and community welfare. According to the company, Starbucks has achieved many of its CSR milestones since it opened its doors. According to its 2019 Global Social Impact Report, these milestones include reaching 99% of ethically sourced coffee, creating a global network of farmers, pioneering green building throughout its stores, contributing millions of hours of community service, and creating a groundbreaking college program for its partner/employees.
Starbucks' goals for 2020 and beyond include hiring 10,000 refugees, reducing the environmental impact of its cups, and engaging its employees in environmental leadership. Today there are many socially responsible companies whose brands are known for their CSR programs, such as Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Everlane, a clothing retailer.

You are the manager of a clothing store. You must decide how many of your employees to put on the sales floor, and how many to put on the register. Because employees on the sales floor cause customers to buy more products, if you do not have at least 2 employees on the register for every 5 employees working on the sales floor, your registers will get very clogged and you will lose business. You have a total of 84 employees, and you wish to have as many on the sales floor as possible. How should you divide your employees
Answer:
c. 60 on the sales floor, 24 on the register.
Explanation:
Given that
The total number of employees to manage is 84
and w assume that the no of employees on the sales floor after having division be x
also the given condition is that there should be minimum of 2 employees for every 5 employees that worked on the sales floor
So that means
x ÷84 = 5 ÷ (5 + 2)
after solving this x = 60
So the no of employees on register is
= 84 - 60
= 24
Sally has a pizza restaurant and sells 30 pizzas for $5 each. Jim has a pizza restaurant around the corner from Sally, and he sells 30 pizzas for $5 each. If Sally and Jim both lower their price to $3, Sally’s customers will buy 60 pizzas, and Jim’s customers will buy 40 pizzas. The demand for Sally’s pizzas is more __________ than the demand for Jim’s pizzas.
Answer:
ELASTIC
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Sally
percentage change in quantity demanded : (60/30) - 1 = 1
percentage change in price : (3/5) - 1 = -0.4
Price elasticity = 1 / -0.4 = 2.5
Jim
percentage change in quantity demanded : (40/30) - 1 = 0.33
percentage change in price : (3/5) - 1 = -0.4
Price elasticity = 0.33 / -0.4 = 0.83
Sally's demand is elastic while Jims' is inelastic
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

The contract provided that the investor would invest $1 million in the winery and, in return, the winery would produce and market at least 500,000 bottles of wine each year for five years under a specified label. The contract included a provision that, if feasible, the wine would be distributed by the winery only through a certain wholesale distributor of fine wines. Neither the investor nor the winery had previously dealt with the distributor. The distributor learned of the contract two days later from reading a trade newspaper. In reliance thereon, he immediately hired an additional sales executive and contracted for enlargement of his wine storage and display facility. If the winery refuses to distribute the wine through the distributor and the distributor then sues the winery for breach of contract, is it likely that the distributor will prevail
Answer:
It is NOT likely that the distributor will prevail.
Explanation:
There was no contract between the distributor and the winery. The intended distributor was not clearly stated in the trade newspaper that the distributor read and relied on to expand his salesforce and storage and display facilities. The distributed voluntarily acted on its own whims and caprices. A contract cannot be imagined. There must be an offer and acceptance, establishing the full consent of the parties to enter into a contract. The intention to contract is also lacking.
