Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

1.The price elasticity of supply (PES) is the measure of the responsiveness in quantity supplied (QS) to a change in price for a specific good (% Change QS / % Change in Price). There are numerous factors that directly impact the elasticity of supply for a good including stock, time period, availability of substitutes, and spare capacity. The state of these factors for a particular good will determine if the price elasticity of supply is elastic or inelastic in regards to a change in price.

2. Profit is the revenue remaining after all costs are paid. These costs include labor, materials, interest on debt, and taxes. Profit is usually used when describing business activity. But everyone with an income has profit. It's what's left over after paying the bills.

Profit is the reward to business owners for investing. In small companies, it's paid directly as income. In corporations, it's often paid in the form of dividends to shareholders.  

When expenses are higher than revenue, that's called a loss. If a company suffers losses for too long, it goes bankrupt.

3. The government can influence supply by adding excise taxes on materials, making production costs too high, so producers decrease supply.

4. A supply curve shows how quantity supplied will change as the price rises and falls, assuming ceteris paribus—no other economically relevant factors are changing. If other factors relevant to supply do change, then the entire supply curve will shift. A shift in supply means a change in the quantity supplied at every price.

Say we have an initial supply curve for a certain kind of car. Now imagine that the price of steel—an important ingredient in manufacturing cars—rises so that producing a car becomes more expensive.

The classical civilizations of india and china shared which of the following traits with the Roman Empire? A. They all had agricultural economies
B. They were all ruled by the warrior class
C. They all relied on slavery for production
D. They all followed the same religion

Answers

The correct answer in this case is that A - They all had agricultural economies.

The reason why this is so is because having a big civilization brings a demand for a lot of food with it. This is something all of the civilizations shared between each other. All of them were big and required a lot of food to be able to sustain themselves - and supplying a civilization with big amounts of food was most easily done by agriculture. 

They all had agricultural economies

Backcountry settlers only had themselves to rely on for survival.

Explanation:

These are the two true statements about the backcountry. The backcountry were the areas of the country that were "wild." These areas were sparsely populated, had few permanent settlements and were generally far away from "civilized" regions. Living in the backcountry was difficult, as backcountry settlers only had themselves to rely on for survival. Therefore, the settlers in these areas tended to be extremely skilled at being self-sufficient.
