A strict definition of capitalism is a society where capital is privately owned, and workers paid wages by private firms. Essentially it is a society with minimal government intervention and resources are distributed according to the outcome of free markets.
Essential (fair) inequalities:
Profit motive: A basic principle of capitalism is that individuals are motivated by the profit incentive. For example, entrepreneurs undertake a risky venture to set up firms because they hope to make a substantial profit. If there was not this profit incentive, entrepreneurs would not undertake the risk of setting up a firm. Therefore, you can say the potential of reward makes inequality an essential ingredient of capitalism.
You could argue people may have other motivations for setting up a business than just higher incomes, but most would agree higher income is an important consideration – if not overriding motive.
Work Incentive: Inequality is also important to motivate workers. If every worker received the same wage regardless of skill and effort, there would be no incentive to learn new skills and work hard at the job. A firm in a capitalist society can pay successful workers a higher wage to reflect their higher productivity. This will lead to wage inequality, but without it it would be hard to motivate workers.
Not necessary (unfair) inequalities:
Monopoly Power: The above types of inequality may seem ‘fair’ or justified. If you work hard, you get to benefit from your enterprise. However, capitalism can also lead to inequality which may be seen as unfair. For example, a firm may develop monopoly power. Then it is in a position to charge consumers artificially high prices and deter entry. If firms have monopsony power, they can get away with paying a wage much lower than the productivity of the worker. Workers have no choice but to work for a very low wage. Therefore, capitalists with access to private property can ‘exploit’ their monopoly power to make a much higher profit than other people in society.
Inheritance: Another aspect of capitalism is that private property can be passed on from one generation to another. Therefore those who inherit capital can enjoy high income even without any effort. They have access to best private education and jobs. This creates inequality of opportunity as well as inequality of opportunity.
These types of inequality mean that there isn’t a level playing field; some in society get an unfair advantage, there isn’t equality of opportunity.
Note: I have written this answer because this is what they teach us in economics. But I am a strong supporter of capitalism.

All of the following are assumptions of the resource-based model EXCEPT: a. firms acquire different resources and develop unique capabilities based on how they combine and use resources. b. firms' performances across time are due primarily to their unique resources and capabilities rather than the industry's structural characteristics. c. differences in resources and capabilities are the basis of competitive advantage. d. resources and capabilities are highly mobile across firms.
Answer: d. resources and capabilities are highly mobile across firms.
Explanation:
Resource-based theory posits that valuable resources which are difficult to copy are valuable to the success of an organization. Such resources can further develop the capabilities of a firm. In the resource-based model, skilled employees are key to the success of the organization.
A why assumption of this model is that the differences in resources and capabilities bring about competitive advantage.
It should be noted that option D "resources and capabilities are highly mobile across firms" ain't an assumption and is therefore the answer.

In one week, Mohammed can knit 5 sweaters or bake 240 cookies. In one week, Aisha can knit 15 sweaters or bake 480 cookies. Which of the following is correct? a. Mohammed has an absolute and a comparative advantage in both tasks. b. Mohammed has an absolute advantage in both tasks and a comparative advantage in knitting sweaters. c. Mohammed has an absolute advantage in both tasks and a comparative advantage in baking cookies. d. Aisha has an absolute advantage in both tasks and a comparative advantage in knitting sweaters. e. Aisha has an absolute and a comparative advantage in both tasks.
Answer:
d. Aisha has an absolute advantage in both tasks and a comparative advantage in knitting sweaters.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
In 1817, David Ricardo who is an english political economist talked about the law of comparative advantage in his book “On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation."
Also, the principle of comparative advantage asserts that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best.
This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).
An absolute advantage can be defined as the ability of an individual such as a producer to produce a good or provide a service in larger (greater) quantity for the same amount of money or the same quantity at a lesser cost or time. This ultimately implies that, an absolute advantage is the superior capability of an individual over another using the same resources.
Hence, Aisha has an absolute advantage in both tasks (superior capability) and a comparative advantage in knitting sweaters because she can knit 10 more sweaters than Mohammed using the same resources or time.
Answer:
D. Aisha has an absolute advantage in both tasks and a comparative advantage in knitting sweaters.

Choose one of the leadership styles described and give an example of a character from
a book or film that demonstrates this leadership style. Explain whether or not it is
effective.
Answer:
Autocratic leadership is that type of leadership in which the leader exercises his power in an excessive way, without limits on the part of another type of bureaucratic structure or of his own subordinates, who have practically no participation in the decision-making process. Thus, in these cases the leader makes decisions by his own will and criteria, which can lead to errors of judgment and tyrannical behavior.
A clear example of an autocratic leader in a movie is that of Xerxes, the Persian leader in movie 300, who oppresses his own subordinates to achieve the desired results.
Answer:
Autocratic leadership is that type of leadership in which the leader exercises his power in an excessive way, others have practically no participation in the decision-making process. This is not effective because the leader makes decisions by his own will and criteria, this can lead to errors of judgment, where others could have helped.

Jermaine and Kesha are married, file a joint tax return, have AGI of $82,500, and have two children. Devona is beginning her freshman year at State University during fall 2020, and Arethia is beginning her senior year at Northeast University during fall 2020 after having completed her junior year during the spring of that year. Both Devona and Arethia are claimed as dependents on their parents' tax return. Devona's qualifying tuition expenses and fees total $4,000 for the fall semester and Arethia's qualifying tuition expenses and fees total $6,200 for each semester during 2020. Full payment is made for the tuition and related expenses for both children during each semester. The American Opportunity credit available to Jermaine and Kesha for 2020 is: a.$2,500. b.$3,000. c.$5,000. d.$6,000.
Answer:
c.$5,000.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of credit available is given below:
= Devona + Arethia
= ($2,000 × 100%) + ($2,000 × 25%) + ($2,000 × 100%) + ($2,000 × 25%)
= $2,000 + $500 + $2,000 + $500
= $2,500 + $2,500
= $5,000
hence, the amount of credit available is $5,000
Therefore the correct option is c.

Explanation:
According to David Parker and Alison Mobey's study of project managers: there was a low understanding of the tools and benefits of a structured analysis of project risks. work is oriented toward continuous improvement of existing processes over longer periods of time. most managers focused on the work processes of the operation in order to manage risk. most managers are risk averse and prefer to be optimistic and not consider risks or to avoid taking risks whenever possible. managers are long-term focused and process oriented
Answer:
The answer is "First choice"
Explanation:
According to David Parker and Alison Money's Project Leader study, a systematic risk assessment has already shown a shallow grasp of the tools and benefits. One reason that was found in their phenomenologic analysis of the project leaders by David Parker and Alison Mobey2 is that they've had no understanding of the tools and benefits of formal project risk analysis. The lack of formal instruments for risk management is seen by many as an obstacle to the implementation of a risk management program.

Forsyth County charges a 7% sales tax. If you bought a new printer form $3250.00, what is the total cost for the printer?
Answer:
Total cost = $3477.5
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Sales tax = 7%
Cost price = $3250.00
To find the total cost for the printer;

If the natural rate of unemployment was 5 percent, the current unemployment rate was 6 percent, and potential GDP was $4,000 billion, then according to Okun's law the economy would have sacrificed
Answer:
$80 billion
Explanation:
Okun law equation: GDP gap = Actual GDP * ((Unemployment rate - Natural rate)/100)*2)
GDP gap = $4,000 * ((6-5)/100*2)
GDP gap = $4,000 * 0.02
GDP gap = $80 billion
Therefore, $80 billion in an output level thus, would be what the economy would have sacrificed.
