Antwortdetails
The bank type responsible for the formulation of rules and regulations guiding the banking industry is the Central bank. A central bank is an independent financial institution that oversees the monetary policy and banking system of a country. Its main functions include regulating commercial banks, managing the country's money supply, and controlling inflation. The central bank is also responsible for formulating rules and regulations that guide the banking industry, as well as ensuring compliance with these rules.

Frage 3 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 4 Bericht
An ad valorem tax is imposed on_____?
Antwortdetails
An ad valorem tax is imposed on the value of a commodity. This type of tax is calculated as a percentage of the value of a product, rather than a fixed amount. For example, if a product is worth $100 and the ad valorem tax rate is 10%, the tax would be $10. The word "ad valorem" is Latin for "according to value". Ad valorem taxes are commonly used on consumer goods, such as clothing or electronics, and are applied at the point of sale. The purpose of this tax is to raise revenue for the government and to potentially regulate certain products by making them more expensive.
Frage 5 Bericht
Taxes and government expenditures are instruments of____________
Antwortdetails
Taxes and government expenditures are instruments of fiscal policy. Fiscal policy refers to the government's use of its spending and taxation powers to influence the economy. By adjusting the level of taxes and government spending, the government can influence the level of economic activity and control inflation. For example, if the government wants to stimulate economic growth, it may lower taxes and increase government spending. This increases consumer spending and investment, which can boost economic activity. On the other hand, if the government wants to slow down inflation, it may raise taxes and decrease government spending, which can reduce consumer spending and slow down economic growth. In summary, fiscal policy is a crucial tool used by governments to manage their economies and maintain economic stability.
Frage 6 Bericht
Which of the following is an invisible item?
Antwortdetails
The invisible item in the list is "Banking services". In economics, visible items are tangible goods that can be physically seen and touched, while invisible items are intangible services that cannot be physically seen or touched. Petroleum services, processed rice, and processed milk are all visible items because they are tangible goods that can be seen, touched, and measured. On the other hand, banking services are intangible and cannot be physically seen or touched. Examples of banking services include providing loans, managing savings accounts, facilitating transactions, and offering financial advice. Therefore, banking services are considered an invisible item because they are intangible and cannot be physically seen or touched.

Consider the following statements:
1. Climate and availability of water largely determines the pattern of the population distribution.
2. Density of population helps in getting a better understanding of the spatial distribution of population in relation to land
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct
Antwortdetails
Both statements are correct. Climate and availability of water are important factors that can affect where people choose to live. Areas with a favorable climate and a reliable source of water are often more attractive to people, leading to higher population densities in those regions. On the other hand, areas with harsh climates or limited access to water may have lower population densities. Density of population refers to the number of people living in a given area. By understanding the population density in different regions, we can get a better understanding of how densely populated an area is and how the population is distributed over the land. This information is useful in a variety of fields, including urban planning, resource management, and public health.
Frage 13 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 14 Bericht
In the long run, all production factors are____________
Antwortdetails
In the long run, all production factors are variable. This means that in the long run, a firm can adjust all of its inputs, including labor, capital, and resources, to produce the level of output it desires. Unlike the short run, where some production factors are fixed and cannot be changed, the long run allows firms to make changes to all of their inputs, such as investing in new technology or equipment, hiring or firing employees, and even moving to a new location. For example, in the short run, a bakery may only be able to increase its production by hiring more workers or working longer hours, as its oven and baking equipment are fixed. But in the long run, the bakery could invest in new, larger equipment to increase its production capacity, as well as relocate to a larger facility or even open new stores. Therefore, in the long run, all production factors can be adjusted, making them variable, while in the short run, some factors are fixed, making them less adaptable to changes in production levels.
Frage 15 Bericht
As a factor of production, the reward for land is?
Antwortdetails
The reward for land as a factor of production is rent. Rent is the payment made by a tenant or user of land to the owner of the land in exchange for the right to use the land. Land, as a factor of production, refers to the natural resources such as water, air, forests, minerals, and other resources that are used in the production process. Unlike labor and capital, land is considered to have a fixed supply, which means that its availability is limited. Therefore, the price of land is determined by the demand for it, which is influenced by factors such as location, natural resources, and economic activity. In summary, the reward for land is rent, which is the payment made by a tenant or user of land to the owner of the land in exchange for the right to use the land.
Frage 16 Bericht
A capital market differs from the money market in that in the former _____?
Antwortdetails
A capital market differs from the money market in that in the former, the loans sought are long term, whereas in the money market, the loans sought are short term. A capital market refers to the financial market where companies and governments can raise long-term funds by issuing and selling securities such as stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. Investors who buy these securities are essentially lending money to the issuing entity for a longer duration, with the expectation of receiving interest payments and eventual repayment of the principal amount. The securities traded in the capital market have longer maturities, typically longer than a year. On the other hand, the money market is a financial market where short-term financial instruments such as treasury bills, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit are traded. The loans in the money market are typically for a duration of less than a year, with the purpose of meeting short-term funding needs. The interest rates on these loans are generally lower than in the capital market, given their short-term nature. In summary, while both markets deal with financial instruments, the primary difference between them is the duration of the loans sought, with the capital market focusing on long-term funding needs and the money market on short-term funding needs.
Frage 18 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.

Given the table, if the total budget of the country to be 100 million naira, what is the ratio of expenditure on manufacturing to agriculture
Antwortdetails
Total budget = N100,000,000
Portion of pie chart covered in degree = 360
Expenditure on manufacturing = x/N100,000,000 × 3600 = 360
3600x = 360 × N100,000,000
x = 360×N100,000,000/3600
x=N10,000,000
Therefore, the budget allocated to Manufacturing is N10,000,000
Total budget = N100,000,000
Portion of pie chart covered in degree = 720
Expenditure on Agriculture = x/N100,000,000 × 3600 = 720
3600x = 720 × N100,000,000
x = 720 × N100,000,000/3600
x = N20,000,000
Therefore, the budget allocated to Agriculture is N20,000,000
Ratio of expenditure on Manufacturing to Agriculture;
Ratio = 10,000,000:20,000,000
=1:2
Frage 20 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.

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 34 Bericht
In an open economy, the GNP is measured as_____________?
Antwortdetails
In an open economy, GNP (Gross National Product) is measured as: C + I + G + (X - M), where: - C represents private consumption expenditures by individuals and households. - I represents gross investment by businesses, such as spending on capital goods like machinery, buildings, and equipment. - G represents government spending on goods and services. - X represents exports, which are goods and services produced domestically and sold to foreign countries. - M represents imports, which are goods and services produced in foreign countries and purchased domestically. The formula above takes into account both domestic and foreign economic activities. The net difference between exports (X) and imports (M) is included to determine the impact of international trade on the economy. Therefore, by using the formula C + I + G + (X - M) to measure GNP in an open economy, we can get a better understanding of the overall economic activity, including the impact of international trade on the economy.

Frage 39 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 40 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.
