In the past, I engaged in a very specific economic principle. The economic principle that once applied states that, everyone is better off with trade. I still remember when I was younger, studying at Jerome Middle School in Jerome, ID, where I conducted trades. My parents were proud owners of a Hispanic store. When I was younger I would take candy that was on sale at my parents store, bring it to school, and sell it. By doing this, I was conducting a trade with my consumers. I now notice that the principle stated above, everyone is better off with trade, is true. At the end of the day, I would leave with my earnings of the day, and my consumers would leave with their candy, well that’s if they haven’t ate it yet. Now that I’ve continued my studies at Northwest Nazarene University in pursue of a Financial Economics degree, I’ve studies economic issues that many economics have studied around the world. One in which I relate my story of when I was a child. The issue of poor countries is a popular one. Many like to question, “Will poor countries stay poor, if not, how can they become rich?” I look at this question, and think of when I was a child. Referring to my past story, I noticed that I was a child with no capital. I soon found capital finding a supply, candy, finding demand, my fellow classmates, and sell the product with a marked up value, and finally creating revenue. This is what poor countries need to do in order to improve their countries economic situation. After
The economy of the world is changing all the time. We have had our ups and downs, but with the help of insights from economist, we have been able to sustain a decent economy. In Naked Economics, Wheelan discusses how a country can have a successful economy. He discusses why countries are poor and why some other countries are doing lavish things, like buying a cake for a dog. The reason behind it is because the richer countries are more productive and allocate resources and the poorer countries aren’t as efficient and don’t allocate resources. Wheelan also wrote about how Steve Jobs and Bill Gates became as rich as they are. They made huge investments in human capital to become rich. They became rich because they had a product that people were willing to give their money for. There are many problems in different economies and Wheelan explains why they are failing. Some economies suffer from a poorly ran government and others suffer from the lack of information. Trade is a positive thing, but there are people that discourage it because products are imported from outside of the United States.
Life insurance is meant to provide funds to replace a breadwinner's to protect and support dependents. Chad and Haley are dependents, not income providers. Therefore, the purchase of life insurance is unnecessary and not recommended. The Dumonts should use the money they would spend on policies for the children to increase their own coverage.
Using the data and your own economic knowledge, assess the case for financing universities mainly through charging fees to their students.
Can greed and self-interest benefit our society’s economy? majority of people would say, but one man by the name of Adam Smith would’ve disagreed. he believed that profit motive even greed could be good for the economy. This very theory spiraled an onset of controversies and debates. However, his theory shined in the right light; justified is the best solution for the economy.
For an economy to thrive it must spend money. The amount of money that is spent can vary greatly from one year to the next. When interest rates are low and reasonable, more loans may be taken and this money is put back into the economy. This influx of monies into the economy can create jobs which lower the unemployment rate. A nation must be able to engage in free trade to help import goods and services that it may be lacking in. When a nation has goods and services that it excels with it can export them to other nations that are in need of them. This import and export cycle determines a nation’s trade balance.
Financial Management is a critical aspect of any business in order to achieve a sustainable and efficient cash flow. It is essential in maintaining the link between a business’s future financial goals (profit maximization) and the resources that it has in order to achieve its objectives. Businesses demand certain common goals that increase a bussiness's all around achievement, Some of which involve; growth amongst assests, An increase in efficiency in all areas of the business whether it be management or not. And the ability to meet short term and long term debts. Finacial management undertakes the responsibility to implement and acheive these goals for the business using a range of strategies shaped to meet the needs of the business and
Economics is the social science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services and with the theory and management of economies or economic systems. All economists agree on one thing, the economy is large and it is unpredictable. However, throughout the years economists have developed some simple but widely applicable principles that are useful when trying to understand decisions that are made by everyday people to the workings of highly complex markets. There are Seven Core Principles of Economics. These principles are: Scarcity Principle, Cost-Benefit Principle, Principle of Unequal Costs, Principle of Comparative Advantage, Principle of Increasing Opportunity Cost, Equilibrium Principle, and
imagine living in a world in which there are infinite amounts of goods and resources to satisfy every human desire. People will not find need to budget their limited incomes, businesses will not worry about the cost of labor, and governments will not have reason to tax its citizens, or give importance to environmental issues. People living in this society will be equal to one another and everything would be free, like water in the ocean and sand in the desert. All prices would be zero and society will not find need for markets or financial institutions. Unfortunately we do not live in a utopia of limitless possibilities; we live in a scarce world of unlimited wants. Given unlimited wants, we must make the best use of our limited resources, a science our ancestors have developed and named economics. This study measures how societies use scarce resources to produce valuable commodities and distribute them efficiently among different people.
Decision making is a critical step for every individual. Pursuing a degree in finance was an overwhelming decision to make. However, I had to make it. Since my childhood, I have been having the dream and ambition of working as a financial operator. I wanted to work in this role in any of the accounting fields. The desire was further enhanced by some of my relatives who used in financial administrators in the City. They looked so great and appeared to enjoy doing most of their job duties. Also, I could them speak of the working which when I inquired further they gave perfect descriptions making to desire to join them someday in the future. Moreover, their annual salaries seemed quite attractive. On the academic side, I have always excelled
From now on, the three individuals mentioned above will be referred to as ASB. The author seemed to suggest the reasons why the argument by ASB cannot be bought is because of their empirical study. The author called the empirical study by ASB flawed. The author agrees with old dependency theorists. The old dependency theorists believe that poor countries cannot develop because they are too dependent on the developed nations. ASB believed poor countries cannot really develop because the poor countries are citadels of Schumpeterian. The author seemed to have a point here. A parent can teach a child what to do for eighteen years and hopefully the child will be independent one day. This is to say helping a country will not necessarily make the nation to become permanently dependent.
Some of the most compelling topics that I learned in this topic only came into focus at the end of the course. Economics is a very large and complex study and reflecting on this subject, piece by piece, requires some patience and ability to put the pieces together. The relationships between simple choices, such as supply and demand, drives all economic and commercial exchange but only through the lens of economic models that attempt to layout this system by combing mathematical principles and psycho-social evaluation. All in all, this was very interesting introduction to some of the complex drivers that propel society.
Suppose South Australian consumers’ average incomes increase from $3,000 to $3,400 per month, which then results in an increase in the quantity of smartphones demanded from 15,000 to18,500. You are required to do the following:
4. Growth Rate: an estimate of the growth of the GDP based on a persons projected yearly increase in income.
One requirement for any student taking a microeconomics class is to complete an end-of-the-semester writing assignment. This assignment asks students to find five different articles from recent news and analyze them in accordance with the various microeconomics topics discussed over the course of the semester. This writing assignment in particular does not necessarily challenge the art of writing, but rather, challenges the application and understanding of economics. Yes, writing is a key component in the assignment, but the professor does not what the students’ focuses to be on argumentative strength or in depth writing. Rather, the professor seeks that students grasp the somewhat complicated nature of economics, more specifically those relating to kairotic events in the field, and be able to relay that in analytical writing.
When I was first given this assignment I was extremely perplexed at how I would even begin to finish it. I had no idea how economics related to my life in anyway. I hadn’t thought about it critically and I struggling terribly. Thanks to some much needed help from a fellow classmate, he allowed me to get an idea of things from his own essay. After reading not one, but two other essays, I was so surprised at how oblivious I had been. I never realized that just about everything that goes on in my daily life is, in fact, economics. I never realized that from the things I buy to the money I earn from working is all economics. The things I miss out of while working or going to school is a complete opportunity cost. Or even
