Identify the correct statement. Group of answer choices An increase in the price level in an economy will decrease the real GDP demanded along the aggregate demand curve. An increase in the price level in an economy will increase the real value of dollar-denominated assets. An increase in the price level in an economy will shift the aggregate demand curve rightward. An increase in the price level in an economy will shift the aggregate expenditure line upward. An increase in the price level in an economy will decrease the equilibrium level of output demanded.
Answer:
An increase in the price level in an economy will decrease the real GDP demanded along the aggregate demand curve.
Explanation:
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy move from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
Aggregate demand (AD) can be defined as the total quantity of output (final goods and services) that is demanded by consumers at all possible price levels in an economy at a particular time.
Generally, an increase in the price level in an economy will decrease the real GDP demanded along the aggregate demand curve.
Additionally, an economy's aggregate demand curve shifts rightward or leftward by more than changes in initial spending because of the multiplier effect. Also, an increase in stock prices that increases consumer wealth will most likely shift the aggregate demand curve to the right.
Lastly, a change in price level would not shift the aggregate demand curve (AD curve).
You pull credit on a husband and wife. It turns out their debt-to-income ratio is too high. You notice the majority of the debts belong to the husband. You also note that the wife has enough income to qualify on her own. You remove the husband from the loan, with permission from the borrower, submit the file, and receive approval. This action is:
Answer:
This action is legal and ethical (except for communal property sales)
Explanation:
Scenarios do occur where one borrower brings down the entire loan filed. if the other borrower can take on the loan burden, then there is a way.
Absolutely nothing wrong with finding a way to qualify your borrowers request for a loan as long as they are ok with it. Most of the money in the joint assets account belongs to the non-borrower. The lender requires two months of bank statements as therefore, documentation is needed by the lender that requires you to disclose and document deposits for the borrower and non-borrower.
This method cannot work in a communal property state
If a nation has a comparative disadvantage in the production of some commodity: Group of answer choices it cannot gain from international trade unless it has an absolute advantage in every other commodity. it can gain from international trade in that commodity only if it has an absolute advantage in that commodity. it cannot gain from international trade in the commodity. it can still gain from international trade in that commodity, by getting it at a lower opportunity cost than if it produced it domestically.
Answer:
it can still gain from international trade in that commodity, by getting it at a lower opportunity cost than if it produced it domestically.
Explanation:
A country has comparative disadvantage in production if it produces at a higher opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
The country with a comparative disadvantage can gain from trade by trading the good with a country that has comparative advantage in the production of that good. i.e. the country produces at a lower opportunity cost
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country B has a comparative disadvantage in the production of beans and country A has a comparative disadvantage in the production of rice
Country B should buy beans from A and A should buy rice from B

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is . If the price of a soft drink is and the price of a slice of pizza is , is Charley maximizing his total benefits? A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods. B. No, he should shift consumption toward and away from to maximize total benefits. C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater. D. No, he should shift consumption toward and away from to maximize total benefits.'
Answer:
The correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete because some important figures and points are missing in it. These figures and points are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:
Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is $100 and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is $110. If the price of a soft drink is $2 and the price of a slice of pizza is $3, is Charley maximizing his total benefits?
A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods.
B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater.
D. No, he should shift consumption toward pizza and away from soft drinks to maximize total benefits.'
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Under utility maximization theory, the condition for the utility or benefit maximization for two goods is as follows:
MBs / Ps = MBp / Pp ……………………………. (1)
Where:
MBs = Marginal benefit from an additional soft drink = $100
MBp = Marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza =$110
Ps = Price of a soft drink = $2
Pp = Price of a slice of pizza = $3
Subtitling the relevant values, we have:
MBs / Ps = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft drinks = $100 / $2 = 50
MBp / Pp = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft pizza = $110 / $3 = 36.67
This implies that 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67
The decision rule is that the limited money income should be spent by a consumer on the good which gives the higher marginal utility per dollar in order to maximize marginal benefit.
Since 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67 above, this implies that Charley is NOT maximizing his total benefits. To maximize his total benefits, Charley should consume more of soft drinks and less of pizza until the condition is consistent with equation (1).
Therefore, the correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

c. Personality tests only work best when they are conducted in real settings or in believable circumstances
d. Personality tests usually result in biased outcomes Chart to Work to remaining)
Answer:
b. Personality tests can categorize people and make them seem inflexible for adaptation to new changes taking place in an organization
Explanation:
A personality test can be defined as a means of assessing and defining peoples personalities. Such tests involves using certain techniques to measure the different traits and patterns that people show at different situations that may arise.
in this question, based on the fact that this organization is in a transitional stage, it is best that they do not use a personality test. A personality test would only put the workers in categories, that is it would only settle them for just a particular role. putting them in categories is just like telling them that they can only fit into one role in the organization. so there would be no flexibility.

Ricardo's theory of _____ advantage states that it makes sense for a country to specialize in the production of those goods that it produces most efficiently and then purchase the goods that it produces less efficiently from other countries, even if this means buying goods from other countries that it could produce more efficiently itself.
Answer:
comparative
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
Country A should specialise in the production of beans and country B should specialise in the production of rice

Roger Company sold machinery for a total price of $20,000 to be paid in four equal installments, plus interest. The first payment was made in the current year. The original cost of the machinery was $12,000 and $8,000 of depreciation had been taken on it. Ignoring interest income, what amount of income must Roger Company recognize in the current year under the installment method for this sale
Answer:
$8,000 ordinary income and $2,000 capital gain.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount must Roger recognize in the current year
Since total gain is $16,000 calculated using this formula
Total gain=Selling price-Basis
Total gain=$20,000-$4,000
Total gain=16,000
Which means that he must recognize the complete $8,000 . Hence, the revised gain of $8,000 will be the ORDINARY INCOME in the current year which is calculated as:
Ordinary Income=Selling price-Adjusted basis
Ordinary Income=$20,000-$12,000
Ordinary Income=$8,000
Lastly is to determine The gross profit percentage of which will be applied to each using this formula
Gross profit percentage=Gross profit ÷Contract price
Gross profit percentage=$8,000 ÷ $20,000
Gross profit percentage=40%
Hence, the CAPITAL GAIN for the current year will be:
Capital gain = [($20,000 ÷ 4) × 40%]
Capital gain=$2,000
Therefore the amount that Roger must recognize in the current year is $8,000 ordinary income and $2,000 capital gain.

What is the opportunity cost in this scenario?
Mikael has saved $4,000 for his trip to Brazil. He has calculated that his total transportation expenses will be $1,000. The hotel will cost him
another $1,500. He will spend about $500 on food. He plans on spending the remaining $1,000 for sightseeing and buying souvenirs.
While booking his plane ticket, he realizes that the price has gone up. His total transportation expenses will go up by $200. He realizes that he
cannot cancel his hotel reservation. He also doesn't want to go cheap on food. Finally, he decides to give up visiting the popular Ouro Preto
during his stay in Brazil.
Reset

Answer: sightseeing
Explanation:
Opportunity costs represent to the potential benefits that an economic entity misses out on when another alternative is chosen over another.
In this case, due to the increase in the price of the plane ticket, Mikael decides to give up visiting the popular Ouro Preto during his stay in Brazil even though it was earlier planned. Therefore, it can be infered that sightseeing is the opportunity cost as that is what he forgoes in order to choose a different alternative.
