Frage 3 Bericht
The number of people who are qualified to work and who offer themselves for employment is called____________?
Antwortdetails
The term used to describe the number of people who are qualified to work and who offer themselves for employment is called the "Working Population". The working population refers to individuals who are of working age and are either employed or actively seeking employment. This group of people is considered to be the supply of labor in the economy and is an important factor in determining the overall health and stability of the labor market. It's important to note that the working population can be influenced by various factors such as migration, education levels, and the availability of job opportunities. Understanding the size and composition of the working population can provide valuable insights into the current state of the labor market and can inform decisions related to economic and labor policies.
Frage 4 Bericht
Given that Y = C + 1, where C = 50 + 0.75 and 1 = N45m, what is the equilibrium level of income?
Antwortdetails
Y = C + I
Y = 50 + 0.75 + 45
Y - 0.75 = 50 + 45
Y (1 - 0.75) = 95
0.25y = 95
Y = 95/0.25
Y = 380
Frage 6 Bericht
The reward for capital is___________
Antwortdetails
The reward for capital refers to the return or compensation that an investor receives for providing their money as an investment in a business or project. This reward can take various forms, but some common ones are interest, rent, and dividends. Interest is a reward for lending money, and it is usually expressed as a percentage of the amount borrowed. For example, if you lend $1,000 to a company that promises to pay you 5% interest, you will receive $50 in interest payments each year. Rent is another form of reward for capital, and it is often associated with real estate. If you own a property and rent it out to tenants, you receive a regular income stream in the form of rent payments. This income can be a reward for the capital you have invested in the property. Risk is also a consideration when it comes to the reward for capital. Investments with higher risks may have the potential for higher returns, but they also have a greater chance of losing money. Therefore, investors who take on greater risk may expect a higher reward for their capital. Premium refers to an additional payment made to investors above and beyond their expected return. This may be offered to incentivize investment or to reward investors who are willing to take on greater risk or tie up their capital for a longer period of time. In summary, the reward for capital can take many forms, but it generally refers to the return that investors receive for putting their money to work in a business or investment. The specific form of the reward will depend on the type of investment and the risks involved.
Frage 7 Bericht
The reduction in the value of a country’s currency in relation to the value of the currencies of other nation is known as____________
Antwortdetails
The reduction in the value of a country's currency in relation to the value of the currencies of other nations is known as "Devaluation". When a country's currency is devalued, it means that the value of its currency has decreased compared to the currencies of other countries. This can happen for a number of reasons, including a decrease in the demand for the country's goods and services, a decrease in the country's economic growth, or a decrease in the country's foreign reserves. A devaluation makes a country's exports cheaper and more competitive on the global market, which can help boost the country's economy. However, it can also lead to higher prices for imported goods, which can negatively impact the country's consumers. In simple terms, devaluation is when a country's currency becomes less valuable compared to other currencies.
Frage 8 Bericht
When elasticity is zero, the demand curve is_____________
Antwortdetails
When the elasticity of demand is zero, the demand curve is said to be perfectly inelastic. This means that a change in price will not cause any change in the quantity demanded. In other words, no matter how much the price changes, the quantity demanded will remain the same. For example, if the price of insulin for diabetes treatment were to double, people who depend on it to survive would have no choice but to continue buying the same amount. This is because they cannot reduce their consumption of insulin, and therefore, the demand for insulin is perfectly inelastic. In terms of the demand curve, a perfectly inelastic demand curve is vertical, meaning that it is a straight line perpendicular to the horizontal axis. This is because, as mentioned earlier, the quantity demanded remains constant regardless of the price. So, when graphed, the demand curve will be a straight vertical line.
Frage 9 Bericht
The ultimate objectives of economics is to_________?
Antwortdetails
The ultimate objective of economics is to make the best use of scarce resources. This means that economics seeks to understand how people, businesses, and societies allocate limited resources such as land, labor, capital, and technology in order to satisfy unlimited wants and needs. The goal is to ensure that resources are used in the most efficient and effective way possible, so that people can enjoy a higher standard of living and greater economic prosperity.

Frage 11 Bericht
The expression of cost in terms of alternative forgone is referred to as ____?
Antwortdetails
The expression of cost in terms of alternative forgone is referred to as "Opportunity cost". Opportunity cost is the cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue a certain action or decision. In other words, it is the value of the next best alternative that you have to give up in order to choose a certain option. For example, if you have $100 and you can either buy a new book or go to a concert, the opportunity cost of buying the book is the value you would have received from going to the concert (and vice versa). If you choose to buy the book, you give up the experience of going to the concert, and if you choose to go to the concert, you give up the value you would have received from the book. Opportunity cost is an important concept in decision making, economics, and business, because it helps us understand the trade-offs that we make when we make choices with limited resources. By considering the opportunity cost of different options, we can make more informed and rational decisions about how to allocate our resources.
Frage 12 Bericht
The effects on the demand for product A caused by a change in the price of product B is Called____________
Frage 13 Bericht
The coefficient of the price elasticity of supply is always_____________
Antwortdetails
The coefficient of the price elasticity of supply is positive. This means that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity of it that is supplied will increase as well. Conversely, if the price decreases, the quantity supplied will decrease. The degree to which the quantity supplied responds to changes in price is what the coefficient of the price elasticity of supply measures. A perfectly elastic supply has an elasticity of infinity, meaning that even a small change in price will result in a large change in the quantity supplied. On the other hand, a perfectly inelastic supply has an elasticity of zero, meaning that the quantity supplied does not change in response to price changes.

Frage 15 Bericht
When a union is composed of workers with the same skill , it is called____________
Antwortdetails
When a union is composed of workers with the same skill, it is called a craft union. This means that the union represents workers who have the same type of training or expertise in a particular craft or trade. For example, a union of electricians, plumbers, or carpenters would be considered craft unions. These workers often have specific skills that are honed through years of training and experience, and the craft union helps to protect their interests, such as negotiating better wages, benefits, and working conditions. By focusing on a specific skill, craft unions can advocate for their members' unique needs and ensure that they receive fair treatment in the workplace.
Frage 17 Bericht
Which of the following business organization is allowed to raise capital by sales of shares to more than twenty people?
Antwortdetails
The business organization that is allowed to raise capital by sales of shares to more than twenty people is a Public limited liability company (PLC). A Public limited liability company is a type of business organization that is owned by shareholders who own shares of the company. These shares can be bought and sold by the general public, allowing the company to raise capital by selling shares to more than twenty people. In contrast, a Private limited liability company (Ltd) is a type of business organization that is owned by a small group of shareholders who are often family members or close friends. Private limited liability companies are not allowed to sell shares to the general public and are limited to selling shares to a maximum of 20 people. Partnerships and Sole proprietorships are not allowed to issue shares at all, as they are not considered separate legal entities from their owners. Instead, they raise capital by borrowing money from banks, investors or using their own funds.
Frage 18 Bericht
Utility is the satisfaction derived from____________
Antwortdetails
Utility is an economic term introduced by Daniel Bernoulli referring to the total satisfaction received from consuming a good or service.
Frage 19 Bericht
The use of income and expenditure instruments or policies to control or regulate the economic activities of a country is known as?
Antwortdetails
The use of income and expenditure instruments or policies to control or regulate the economic activities of a country is known as Fiscal Policy. Fiscal policy involves the use of government spending and taxation to influence the economy's performance. For example, during a recession, the government may increase its spending to stimulate economic growth and create jobs. Alternatively, during a period of high inflation, the government may reduce its spending and increase taxes to reduce the amount of money in circulation and lower inflation. Fiscal policy can be used to achieve various economic objectives, such as stabilizing the economy, promoting economic growth, and reducing income inequality. It is an essential tool for governments to manage the economy and ensure its stability and growth over the long term.
Frage 21 Bericht
The main concern of economists is to________
Antwortdetails
Economics seeks to study the relationship between ends and means. Ends are unlimited while the means are limited. Scarcity means resources are limited in relation to the ends. Economics therefore seek is concerned with allocating limited resources among the competing and unlimited wants.
Frage 22 Bericht
The study of Economics becomes necessary because of the______________
Antwortdetails
The study of Economics becomes necessary because of the "scarcity of resources". Economics is the study of how societies use limited resources to satisfy their unlimited wants and needs. Because resources such as land, labor, and capital are limited, and human wants and needs are unlimited, there is always scarcity. Scarcity means that people have to make choices about what goods and services they will produce and consume because they cannot have everything they want. Therefore, the study of economics helps to provide a framework for making decisions about how to allocate scarce resources in the most efficient and effective way possible to maximize benefits to society. In conclusion, the study of economics becomes necessary because of the scarcity of resources, which creates the need to make choices and allocate resources efficiently to satisfy the unlimited wants and needs of society.
Frage 23 Bericht
In the history of economics the concept of division of labour is usually associated With______________-
Antwortdetails
The concept of division of labor is usually associated with Adam Smith, a Scottish economist who lived in the 18th century. Smith is known as the father of modern economics and his book "The Wealth of Nations" is considered a landmark in the history of economic thought. Division of labor is the process of breaking down the production of goods or services into smaller tasks, with each worker specializing in a particular task. Smith argued that this specialization allows workers to become more efficient and productive, as they become more skilled at their specific task over time. He famously used the example of a pin factory to illustrate the benefits of division of labor, showing how the productivity of the workers could be increased by breaking down the process of pin-making into smaller, specialized tasks. Smith believed that the division of labor not only increased productivity, but also led to economic growth and prosperity. By allowing each worker to focus on their specific task, and by encouraging trade and exchange between different workers and regions, the economy as a whole could become more efficient and produce more goods and services. This, in turn, would lead to greater wealth and prosperity for society as a whole. Overall, Smith's ideas about the division of labor had a profound impact on the development of modern economics and are still widely studied and discussed today.
Frage 24 Bericht
The type of business finance that entitles the holder to a fixed rate of dividend is______________--
Antwortdetails
The type of business finance that entitles the holder to a fixed rate of dividend is called "preferred stock." Preferred stock is a type of investment in a company that gives shareholders a higher priority claim on dividends compared to common stockholders. This means that if the company distributes profits as dividends, the holders of preferred stock will receive their dividend payments first, before common stockholders. In addition to priority dividend payments, preferred stockholders may also have other advantages over common stockholders, such as the ability to vote on certain matters, and a greater degree of safety in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation. The key feature of preferred stock is that it provides a fixed rate of dividend, which is agreed upon at the time of issuance. This means that the company is obligated to pay a certain amount of dividend to preferred stockholders, regardless of how the company performs financially. This can make preferred stock a relatively stable investment option, especially for investors who are seeking a regular income stream.

Frage 28 Bericht
An upward movement along the same supply curve result in_____________
Antwortdetails
An upward movement along the same supply curve results in an increase in quantity supplied. This means that as the price of the good increases, suppliers are willing and able to produce and sell more of the good. This is because suppliers are motivated by profit, and as the price of the good goes up, they can earn more profit per unit sold. As a result, they will be willing to produce and sell more units of the good. It is important to note that the supply curve itself does not shift as a result of an upward movement along the curve, only the quantity supplied changes.
Frage 29 Bericht
In a capitalist economy, factors of production are owned and controlled by the _____?
Antwortdetails
Capitalism or free market economy may be defined as the type of economic system in which the means of production are owned and controlled by private individuals that is; it is characterized by private ownership of the means of production. In this case, the private individuals play a greater role than the government in taking decisions on what to produce, how to produce, for whom to produce and the distribution of what has been produced.
Frage 30 Bericht
The privatization exercise in Nigeria is a move towards a____________
Antwortdetails
The privatization exercise in Nigeria is a move towards a market economy. A market economy is a type of economic system in which decisions regarding investment, production, and distribution are guided by the price signals created by the forces of supply and demand. In a market economy, resources are owned and controlled by individuals and private enterprises, rather than the government. In Nigeria's case, the privatization exercise involves the transfer of ownership and control of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to private individuals or companies. This shift from state ownership and control to private ownership and control is a characteristic feature of a market economy. By reducing the role of the government in the economy, the privatization exercise in Nigeria is aimed at promoting competition, encouraging innovation, and improving efficiency in the management of these formerly state-owned enterprises.
Frage 31 Bericht
One of the major forms of migration that tends to create problem in all developing countries is that of___________
Antwortdetails
The major form of migration that tends to create problems in developing countries is rural-urban migration. This refers to the movement of people from rural areas to urban areas in search of better economic opportunities and a higher standard of living. There are several reasons why rural-urban migration occurs. In rural areas, there may be limited job opportunities, low wages, and a lack of access to basic services such as healthcare, education, and clean water. In contrast, urban areas offer more job opportunities, higher wages, and better access to services. However, rural-urban migration can create several problems. Firstly, it can lead to overcrowding and strain on urban infrastructure, such as housing, transportation, and public services. This can result in poor living conditions for migrants and contribute to the spread of diseases. Secondly, rural-urban migration can lead to social problems such as crime, poverty, and inequality. Migrants may face discrimination and difficulty integrating into urban communities, which can exacerbate social tensions. Finally, rural-urban migration can have negative impacts on rural areas, as it can result in a loss of skilled workers and a decline in agricultural productivity. This can have serious consequences for food security and rural development. Overall, while rural-urban migration can provide benefits for migrants in terms of economic opportunities and access to services, it can also create significant challenges for both urban and rural areas.

Frage 33 Bericht
An economy in which both the public and private sectors contribute to economic growth is a__________?
Antwortdetails
The correct answer is a mixed economy. A mixed economy is an economic system that combines elements of both the public (government) and private sectors. In a mixed economy, the government and private businesses work together to create economic growth and promote social welfare. In a mixed economy, the government is responsible for providing essential services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure. The private sector, on the other hand, is responsible for creating goods and services that meet the demands of the market. This type of economy allows for the benefits of both capitalism (private enterprise) and socialism (public enterprise) to coexist. It allows the government to regulate and control certain aspects of the economy, while still allowing the private sector to operate and innovate freely. Many modern economies around the world are considered mixed economies, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Frage 34 Bericht
The mean is the best measure of central tendency because it__________
Antwortdetails
The mean is considered the best measure of central tendency because it is a balancing point in an observation. Central tendency refers to the tendency of data to cluster around a particular value in a distribution. The three measures of central tendency are mean, median, and mode. The mean is the arithmetic average of a set of data and is calculated by summing all of the values and dividing by the number of values in the set. The mean is the balancing point in an observation because it takes into account all the values in a set of data and calculates their average. It is the sum of all the values in the set divided by the total number of values. Because the mean is based on all the values in the data set, it is less likely to be affected by extreme values (outliers) than other measures of central tendency, such as the median or mode. In addition to being a balancing point in an observation, the mean has several other advantages as a measure of central tendency. For example, it is easy to calculate and is a useful tool for comparing different data sets. It can also be calculated from incomplete data, which is not the case with other measures of central tendency. Overall, the mean is the best measure of central tendency because it is a balancing point in an observation and takes into account all the values in a data set, making it less likely to be influenced by extreme values.
Frage 35 Bericht
The basic economic problems of society include___________
Antwortdetails
The basic economic problems of society refer to the fundamental challenges that arise from the limited availability of resources and the unlimited wants and needs of individuals and society as a whole. The three main economic problems are scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost. Scarcity refers to the limited availability of resources, such as land, labor, and capital, relative to the unlimited wants and needs of individuals and society. This means that choices must be made about what to produce, how to produce it, and for whom it should be produced. The second economic problem is choice. Because resources are scarce, individuals and societies must make choices about what goods and services to produce and consume. This requires answering questions like "what to produce," "how much to produce," "how to produce it," and "for whom to produce it." These choices have important consequences for the allocation of resources and the distribution of income and wealth. The third economic problem is opportunity cost. This refers to the cost of choosing one option over another, as measured by the value of the best alternative foregone. In other words, every time we make a choice, we give up the opportunity to do something else with those resources. This means that the cost of any choice is not only the direct cost of producing or consuming a good, but also the opportunity cost of not using those resources in some other way. In summary, the basic economic problems of society include scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost. These problems arise from the limited availability of resources relative to the unlimited wants and needs of individuals and society, and require making choices about what to produce, how to produce it, and for whom it should be produced.

Frage 37 Bericht
The establishment of industries in rural areas will help to reduce____________-
Antwortdetails
The establishment of industries in rural areas will help to reduce Urban-Rural migration. Urban-Rural migration refers to the movement of people from urban (city) areas to rural (countryside) areas in search of better living conditions, employment opportunities, and a lower cost of living. This migration often leads to overcrowding, strain on urban resources, and an increase in poverty in both urban and rural areas. When industries are established in rural areas, it creates employment opportunities for people living in those areas. This leads to an improvement in the standard of living of the local population, as they can find employment opportunities near their homes and do not need to move to urban areas. As a result, people are less likely to migrate from rural areas to urban areas in search of better opportunities, which helps to reduce Urban-Rural migration. In addition, the establishment of industries in rural areas also leads to an increase in economic activity in those areas, which stimulates local economies and creates new business opportunities. This, in turn, can lead to a reduction in poverty, an improvement in infrastructure and services, and an overall improvement in the quality of life for people living in rural areas.
Frage 38 Bericht
If the standard deviation of a given data is 8.2, find its variance_______________
Antwortdetails
The variance of a given data is the square of the standard deviation. Therefore, if the standard deviation of a given data is 8.2, the variance can be calculated as follows: Variance = Standard deviation^2 Variance = 8.2^2 Variance = 67.24 So, the variance of a given data with a standard deviation of 8.2 is 67.24.

Antwortdetails
Frage 40 Bericht
The need to construct a scale of preference is necessitated by____________
Antwortdetails
The need to construct a scale of preference is necessitated by scarcity and the need for choice. Resources are limited, but human wants and needs are unlimited. This creates a situation of scarcity, where people must make choices about how to allocate their resources to satisfy their most pressing needs and wants. A scale of preference is a tool that helps individuals to prioritize their wants and needs, so that they can make informed choices about how to allocate their limited resources. For example, imagine you have a limited amount of money to spend on groceries for the week. You have a long list of items you want to buy, but you can't afford to buy them all. By constructing a scale of preference, you can prioritize the items on your list according to how important they are to you. You might decide that buying bread, milk, and vegetables are your top priorities, while buying luxury items like chocolates and wine are lower on your list. This allows you to make the most of your limited resources and satisfy your most pressing needs first. Therefore, the need to construct a scale of preference is necessitated by scarcity and the need for choice, as it helps individuals to allocate their limited resources in a way that best satisfies their wants and needs.
