Does economic growth overcome scarcity?

Yes and No.

Yes:

From the consumer perspective, when the economy growth speeds up, their purchasing power increases, thus they can afford to buy a plentiful amount of goods. During this time of growth consumers are not worried about the store running out of goods because they can't see the limits.

No:

The Faster the economy grows, the faster we deplete our natural resources, thus making the natural resources even more scarce over time. The consumer isn't aware of any resource limits, so the only way to communicate to the consumer that the materials needed to manufacture a good is becoming scarce is by raising the price of the good. By raising the price of goods consumers lose purchasing power, thus a lot less goods are allocated per consumer balancing out scarcity and allocation.

What is the difference between a plain scale and a diagonal scale?

The plain scale is used for simple scales, scales that do not have many subdivisions.

while Diagonal scale

There is a limit to the number of divisions that can be constructed on a plain scale.Try to divide 10 mm into 50 parts; you will find that it is almost impossible. The architect, cartographer and surveyor all have the problem of having to subdivide into smaller units than a plain scale allows. A diagonal scale allows you to divide into smaller units.

Trade off between liquidity and profitability?

Picture "Liquidity" as being on one end of a straight line and "Profitability" on the other end of the line. If you are on the line and move toward one, you automatically move away from the other. In other words, there is the trade-off between liquidity and profitability.

This is easy to illustrate with a simple example. The items on the asset side of a company's balance sheet are listed in order of liquidity, i.e., the ease with which they can be converted into cash. In order, the most important of these assets are:

  • Cash
  • Marketable Securities
  • Accounts Receivable
  • Inventory
  • Fixed Assets

Notice that as we go from the top of the list to the bottom, the liquidity decreases. However, as we go from top to bottom, the profitability increases. In other words, the most profitable investment for company is normally in its fixed assets; the least profitable investment is cash.

Bankruptcy Risk
  1. Is it possible for a company to go bankrupt if it has a lot of cash but is not profitable?

    Sure it is! It may take a while, but if it remains unprofitable, it will eventually go bankrupt. Its available cash will be used to finance the losses, but when the cash runs out, the assets of the company will have to shrink because there will be insufficient funds to replace them as they wear out. The company will become smaller and smaller and will eventually fail.

  2. Is it possible for a company to go bankrupt if it is very, very profitable but is not very liquid (i.e., does not have much cash)?

Certainly! For example, if a company expands so rapidly that it is constantly building new buildings and buying new equipment, it may very well get behind on its payments to the contractors and vendors due to the lack of cash. In other words, the company is spending money much faster than it is making it, even though it is making a lot. Eventually, the creditors (i.e., contractors and vendors) will demand their money and, if the company does not have enough cash to pay up, the creditors will take the company to court. A judge may very well decide that the creditors are entitled to their money and will start selling off the assets of the company in order to raise cash to pay them. (Half-finished construction projects don't bring in much cash at a sheriff's auction.) At that point, the owners of the company have lost control and may very well be forced into bankruptcy.

So, you can see that it's dangerous to be on either extreme of the line: (1) highly liquid but not very profitable, and (2) highly profitable but not very liquid. There's a broad middle ground between the two extremes where the company wants to reside.

Fortunately, we have tools at our disposal that will allow us to measure where we are on the line. These tools are primarily financial ratios, which measure the company's liquidity and profitability. We can compare the company's liquidity and profitability ratios to those of other companies (particularly, to the industry average) to see where we are on the line, and can, if necessary, make corrections.

How do you determine if your processor is RISC or CISC?

RISC (reduced instruction set computer) and CISC (complex instruction set computer) are two major types of processor architecture. These styles differ in the way that they handle incoming instructions, making it difficult to compare the clock speeds of the two types, as a 2.0ghz RISC processor will be faster or slower than a 2.0ghz CISC processor depending on the structure of individual applications. Knowing which type of processor you have is accomplished by knowing which company made your processor.Related Searches:
