Whatever form an economic system may take, choice is essential for members of the community because resources are__________
Detalles de la respuesta
Scarce. This means that there is not enough of a certain resource to meet the demand or needs of everyone in the community. As a result, choices have to be made about how to allocate these limited resources among different individuals, groups, or uses. When resources are scarce, it is important to make decisions about their use in the most efficient and effective way possible.

Let the quantity demanded in units of a particular commodity be represented as Qd = 80 - 2P, find the quantity demanded when P = ₦3.
Detalles de la respuesta
The quantity demanded (Qd) of a commodity is related to its price (P) through the equation Qd = 80 - 2P. So, if we know the price of the commodity, we can use this equation to find the quantity demanded. In this case, the price is given as ₦3. So, we can plug in this value of price into the equation to find the quantity demanded: Qd = 80 - 2P Qd = 80 - 2 * 3 Qd = 80 - 6 Qd = 74 Therefore, the quantity demanded when the price is ₦3 is 74 units.

When of the following matters may account for changes in supply?
I - technological advances in an industry
II - changes in labour costs
III - changes in source of supply
IV - changes in levels of taxation
Detalles de la respuesta
All of the options listed - I, II, III, and IV - can contribute to changes in supply. Technological advances in an industry can increase the efficiency of production and lower costs, leading to an increase in supply. Changes in labor costs, such as an increase in wages, can make production more expensive, leading to a decrease in supply. Changes in the source of supply, such as a new supplier entering the market or a current supplier becoming unavailable, can also impact supply. Finally, changes in levels of taxation, such as an increase in taxes on production, can make production more expensive and lead to a decrease in supply. Therefore, all four options can impact changes in supply.

Restrictive monetary policy is designed to curtail aggregate demand and to overcome________
Detalles de la respuesta
Restrictive monetary policy is designed to overcome inflation. Inflation is when the overall price level in an economy is rising, and the value of money is decreasing. The central bank can use restrictive monetary policy to reduce the amount of money in circulation and decrease aggregate demand, which will in turn help to curb inflation. For example, the central bank may increase interest rates, which makes borrowing money more expensive and reduces consumer spending. It may also sell government bonds, which reduces the amount of money available in the banking system. This type of policy is called restrictive because it restricts or slows down the growth of the economy, which helps to control inflation.

The last link in the channel of distribution is____________
Detalles de la respuesta
The last link in the channel of distribution is the Consumer. The channel of distribution refers to the path that a product takes from the producer to the final customer. The producer creates the product, and it is then sold to a wholesaler, who sells it to a retailer, and finally, the retailer sells it to the consumer. The consumer is the end user of the product and is the last link in the chain of distribution. In other words, the consumer is the person who ultimately buys the product and uses it for their own purposes. The channel of distribution is important because it helps to ensure that the product reaches the end user in a timely and efficient manner.

Which of the following is not a cause of unemployment_______
Detalles de la respuesta
"Good government planning" is not a cause of unemployment. Unemployment refers to the situation where individuals who are actively seeking employment are unable to find work. The causes of unemployment can be complex and multi-faceted, but typically include factors such as a lack of available jobs, poor education and lack of relevant skills, and corruption. "Good government planning" is not a direct cause of unemployment, but it can have an indirect effect by helping to create a favorable economic environment that supports job growth and job creation. For example, good government planning can help to attract businesses to an area, provide funding for education and training programs, and reduce corruption, all of which can help to reduce unemployment over time.

The basic and essential economic problems in a community are related to choice and________
Detalles de la respuesta
The basic and essential economic problems in a community are related to choice and scarcity. Scarcity refers to the limited availability of resources in any given community. These resources can include natural resources, such as land, water, and minerals, as well as human-made resources, such as factories, machines, and tools. Because these resources are limited, there is never enough of them to satisfy everyone's wants and needs. This scarcity means that individuals, businesses, and governments must make choices about how to allocate these resources in the most efficient way possible. This requires making trade-offs and decisions about what goods and services to produce, how to produce them, and who should receive them. , Freedom, and Politics, are not directly related to the basic and essential economic problems of choice and scarcity. Social class, may be related to economic problems, but is not a fundamental concept in economics.

Let capital formation = CF, Production = P, C = consumption. Then CF =_______
Detalles de la respuesta
Capital formation (CF) is equal to P minus C, where P is production and C is consumption. Capital formation refers to the process of creating new capital goods, such as factories, machines, and infrastructure, which are used to produce goods and services. This process requires investment in new capital goods and is therefore reflected as a reduction in consumption. So, CF = P - C, where P is the total amount of goods and services produced and C is the amount consumed by households, businesses, and government. This equation shows that the amount of new capital being formed is equal to the difference between what is produced and what is consumed. In simpler terms, capital formation is the amount of investment made in the economy to increase its productive capacity and support future economic growth.

If two commodities are unrelated, a change in the price of one will____________
Detalles de la respuesta
If two commodities are unrelated, a change in the price of one will have no effect on the quantity demanded of the other. This is because unrelated commodities are not substitutes for each other, so a change in the price of one will not affect the demand for the other. For example, if the price of apples increases, it will not affect the demand for bananas, since apples and bananas are not substitutes for each other. Similarly, if the price of bananas decreases, it will not affect the demand for apples. This is because the demand for each commodity is determined by its own factors, such as income, tastes, and preferences, and not by the price of other unrelated commodities.

Among the disadvantages of the one-man business is the fact that______
Detalles de la respuesta
The main disadvantage of a one-man business is that the proprietor is personally liable for the firm's debts. This means that if the business is unable to pay its debts, the proprietor's personal assets, such as their savings, property, or other valuables, can be used to settle the debt. This can put the proprietor's personal financial stability at risk and may discourage them from taking on certain business ventures or expanding the business.

The demand for labour is a________
Detalles de la respuesta
The demand for labor is a "derived demand". This means that the demand for labor is not a direct demand for labor itself, but rather it is derived from the demand for goods and services that labor can produce. In other words, businesses hire workers because they need them to produce the goods and services that they sell. For example, if a business sells pizzas, it will need workers to make the pizzas, deliver the pizzas, and serve the customers. The demand for labor in this case is derived from the demand for pizzas. If the demand for pizzas increases, the demand for labor to produce and deliver the pizzas will also increase. Therefore, the demand for labor is closely tied to the demand for the goods and services that labor produces, and it is derived from that demand.

If the demand for a commodity is perfectly elastic, the incidence of a tax on that commodity will be, other things being equal, entirely on the_______
Detalles de la respuesta
If the demand for a commodity is perfectly elastic, it means that even a small change in price will cause a significant change in the quantity demanded. In other words, consumers are very sensitive to changes in price, and if the price increases, they will simply buy another substitute product that is cheaper. Now, if a tax is imposed on this commodity, it will cause the price of the commodity to increase. Since the demand is perfectly elastic, consumers will not be willing to pay the higher price and will switch to substitute products. As a result, the entire incidence of the tax falls on the seller or producer of the commodity. This is because the higher price caused by the tax will result in a decrease in the quantity demanded, and the producer will have to reduce the price in order to sell the product. Therefore, the producer bears the entire burden of the tax. In summary, if the demand for a commodity is perfectly elastic, the incidence of a tax on that commodity will be entirely on the seller or producer, as consumers are very sensitive to price changes and will switch to substitute products if the price increases.

Which of the following persons is engaged in "Secondary Production"?
I - a bricklayer
II - an automobile assembly-line worker
III - an accountant
IV - a cinema projectionist
Detalles de la respuesta
Secondary production refers to the process of transforming raw materials into finished goods, typically in a factory setting. Out of the four options, only one involves transforming raw materials into finished goods in a factory setting, and that is option II, an automobile assembly-line worker. A bricklayer (option I) works in construction and is not involved in transforming raw materials into finished goods in a factory setting. An accountant (option III) works in the service sector and is not involved in producing goods. A cinema projectionist (option IV) is also not involved in producing goods but rather in providing a service. Therefore, the answer is option II, an automobile assembly-line worker.

In a perfect competition, the market price is determined by_______
Detalles de la respuesta
In a perfect competition, the market price is determined by the market supply and demand junctions. This means that the price is set by the intersection of the supply of goods and services offered by producers and the demand for those goods and services by consumers. When there is a high demand for a good or service, the price will go up, and when there is a low demand, the price will go down. This is because producers will raise their prices when there is high demand in order to make more profit, and they will lower their prices when there is low demand to try to sell more goods. On the other hand, consumers will be willing to pay more for a good or service when there is high demand and they will be less willing to pay when there is low demand. The market price is a result of the negotiation between producers and consumers, and it reflects the balance between supply and demand in the market.

A contractionary monetary policy is used to control__________
Detalles de la respuesta
A contractionary monetary policy is used to control inflation. Inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over time. It occurs when there is too much money chasing too few goods, leading to an increase in demand and upward pressure on prices. A contractionary monetary policy is a type of economic policy used by central banks to reduce the money supply and increase the cost of borrowing, with the aim of slowing down the economy and reducing inflationary pressures. This can be achieved through several measures, such as raising interest rates, increasing reserve requirements for banks, and selling government securities in the open market. By reducing the supply of money and making it more expensive to borrow, the central bank aims to reduce spending and investment in the economy, which can help to lower inflation. A contractionary monetary policy is the opposite of an expansionary monetary policy, which is used to stimulate economic growth by increasing the money supply and lowering interest rates.

The purchasing power of money depends upon the__________
Detalles de la respuesta
The purchasing power of money depends upon the "price level". Price level refers to the general level of prices for goods and services in an economy. When the price level increases, the purchasing power of money decreases because it can buy fewer goods and services. Conversely, when the price level decreases, the purchasing power of money increases because it can buy more goods and services. For example, if a cup of coffee costs $2 and the price level remains the same, then $10 can buy 5 cups of coffee. However, if the price of coffee increases to $3, then the purchasing power of $10 decreases and can now only buy 3 and 1/3 cups of coffee. So, the purchasing power of money depends on the price level, because the price level determines how much goods and services money can buy.

Consider the diagram below which shows a demand curve (d).
Total expenditure on a commodity is represented by the area TUVW. Consumer's surplus is represented by__________
Detalles de la respuesta
Consumer's surplus is represented by the area above the demand curve and below the market price. In the diagram, this would be the area represented by VWX. Consumer's surplus measures the difference between the amount that consumers are willing to pay for a good and the amount they actually pay. In the diagram, consumers are willing to pay more for the good up to the market price, represented by the height of the demand curve. The area VWX represents the amount by which they are benefiting from the market, as they are paying less than they would be willing to pay. So, the answer to the question is the area VWX represents consumer's surplus.

The basic principle underlying location of industry is the tendency for production of a commodity to be located on the basis of______
Detalles de la respuesta
The basic principle underlying the location of industry is the tendency for production of a commodity to be located on the basis of "relative costs and benefits." The location of industry is determined by a variety of factors such as access to raw materials, labor supply, transportation, energy, and infrastructure. However, the primary factor is the cost and benefit analysis of each potential location. Industries tend to locate where the benefits of the location outweigh the costs. For example, an industry that requires large quantities of water may locate near a river or lake where water is abundant and cheap. An industry that produces heavy goods may locate near a port or railhead to reduce transportation costs. An industry that produces high-value products may locate near a skilled workforce or a research and development center to take advantage of the availability of talent. In general, industries seek to minimize their costs and maximize their benefits by locating in areas that provide the best combination of factors. This is why certain industries tend to be concentrated in particular regions or countries where the relative costs and benefits of production are most favorable.

The lands that belong to the community is referred to as__________
Detalles de la respuesta
The lands that belong to the community as a whole, rather than to individuals, are referred to as "communal land." Communal land is a type of property that is owned and managed collectively by a community, rather than by individual landowners. In many cases, communal land is held by a community as a shared resource that is used for various purposes, such as farming, grazing, or hunting. Communal land can be found in various forms, including indigenous lands, public lands, and lands held in common by small communities. These lands are often governed by customary or traditional rules and practices that have been developed over time by the community members. The use and management of communal land can be beneficial for communities that depend on the land for their livelihoods, as it allows for collective decision-making and sharing of resources. However, it can also present challenges when there are disputes over land use or when outside interests seek to exploit the resources on communal land.

Economics is a social science concerned with the proper use and______
Detalles de la respuesta
Economics is a social science concerned with the proper use and allocation of resources for growth. Economics is the study of how society uses its limited resources to satisfy its unlimited wants and needs. It is concerned with how individuals, businesses, and governments make choices about how to use resources to produce goods and services, and how these goods and services are distributed among the members of society. The proper use and allocation of resources are essential for economic growth, which is the increase in the production and consumption of goods and services over time. This growth is achieved through the efficient use of resources to create more goods and services, which can then be distributed to meet the needs of society. Economics helps us to understand how resources are allocated and used in different economies and how these decisions affect the overall well-being of individuals and societies.

Adam Smith's Theory of value stated that the value of a commodity depended on________
Detalles de la respuesta
Adam Smith's theory of value stated that the value of a commodity depends on the amount of labour expended on its production. Smith believed that in a market economy, the value of a good or service is determined by the amount of work required to produce it. According to his theory, the more time and effort that goes into making a product, the more valuable it becomes. This idea is known as the "labour theory of value." In simple terms, the value of a product is determined by the effort and time put into making it. The more effort and time required, the more valuable the product is considered to be. This theory is considered to be one of the foundations of classical economics and is still widely studied and discussed today.

A method of analysis that draws conclusions from data rather than general Principles already known is________
Detalles de la respuesta
Inductive reasoning is a method of analysis that draws conclusions from data rather than general principles already known. In simple terms, inductive reasoning takes specific observations or pieces of evidence and uses them to form a general conclusion or pattern. For example, if you observe that every time it rains, the streets get wet, you can use inductive reasoning to conclude that rain causes the streets to get wet. In contrast, deductive reasoning starts with a general principle or premise and uses it to reach a specific conclusion. For example, if you know that all birds have feathers and you observe a creature with feathers, you can use deductive reasoning to conclude that it's a bird. Inductive reasoning is often used in scientific research, where data is collected and analyzed to form hypotheses or theories that can then be tested through further experimentation.

A commodity is defined as normal when its demand changes in the same direction as______
Detalles de la respuesta
A commodity is defined as normal when its demand changes in the same direction as income. This means that as income increases, demand for the commodity will also increase, and as income decreases, demand for the commodity will decrease. Normal goods are those goods for which demand increases as income increases, and decreases as income decreases. For example, as people's incomes increase, they may choose to buy more luxury items such as expensive cars, jewelry, or designer clothing, which would be considered normal goods. On the other hand, as people's incomes decrease, they may choose to cut back on these purchases and switch to more budget-friendly options, causing demand for normal goods to decrease.

Detalles de la respuesta
Most of the national debt is "dead weight" in the sense that it is not covered by any real asset. This means that the debt is not backed up by any tangible property or valuable resource. Instead, it is simply a financial obligation that the government owes to its creditors, who have loaned the government money. The government must pay back this debt with interest, which can add up over time and become a burden on the economy. This type of debt is sometimes referred to as "dead weight" because it does not contribute to the growth or development of the economy, but instead represents a financial obligation that must be met.

One of these is not a way by which government encourage industrialization?
Detalles de la respuesta
Low productivity and inefficiency is not a way by which government encourages industrialization. In fact, it is the opposite. Encouraging industrialization means creating a favorable environment for businesses to grow and increase productivity. Low productivity and inefficiency hinder the growth of industries, making it difficult for the government to encourage industrialization. On the other hand, protection of infant industries, establishment of Nigeria Enterprises Promotion Decree, and establishment of higher institutions are ways by which the government can encourage industrialization. Protection of infant industries involves offering support and protection to new and growing businesses to help them establish and grow. The establishment of Nigeria Enterprises Promotion Decree provides support and incentives for local businesses to grow and expand. The establishment of higher institutions provides a well-educated workforce, which is essential for industrial growth and development.

An economy system that uses what is regarded as the "Market mechanism" is called_______
Detalles de la respuesta
Capitalism is an economic system that uses the market mechanism. In a capitalist economy, individuals and businesses own and operate the means of production, and the prices of goods and services are determined by supply and demand in the marketplace. In simple terms, this means that people are free to produce and sell whatever they want, and consumers are free to buy whatever they want, at prices that are determined by the market. This creates an economy that is driven by competition and innovation, and is often associated with growth and prosperity. It is important to note that capitalism can take on different forms, ranging from a more laissez-faire approach with minimal government intervention, to a more regulated form with a larger role for the government in managing the economy.

The average curve and the marginal curve are U-shaped in the short-run and flatter in the long-run due to________
Detalles de la respuesta
The reason why the average curve and the marginal curve are U-shaped in the short-run and flatter in the long-run is due to economies of scale. Economies of scale refer to the cost advantages that firms experience as they increase their production output. In the short-run, firms are often operating at less than their optimal capacity and therefore may experience diseconomies of scale as they increase output, which leads to higher average costs and a U-shaped average curve. Meanwhile, the marginal cost curve intersects the average cost curve at its minimum point, which is why it is also U-shaped in the short-run. However, in the long-run, firms have more time to adjust their inputs and can increase the scale of their operations. As they do so, they can experience economies of scale, which lead to lower average costs and a flatter average curve. This means that the marginal cost curve intersects the average cost curve at a lower point than in the short-run, making it flatter. Overall, this illustrates how economies of scale can affect a firm's production costs and how this can be reflected in the shape of the average and marginal cost curves.
