Correct Answer: C. more goods for exports

Explanation

Export Promotion strategy is geared towards promoting only the industries that have potential for developing and competing with foreign rivals, because the goal is to export the goods or trade abroad.

Explanation

(a) Value of visible exports = Crude Oil + Groundnut Oil + Bauxite

= $120,000,000 + $40,000,000 + $80,000,000

= $240,000,000

(b) Balance of trade = total value of visible exports - total value of visible imports

Visible exports = $240,000,000

Visible imports = rice and flour + petroleum product + vehicles and accessories

= $140,000,000 + $80,000,000 + $50,000,000

= $270,000,000

Therefore, Balance of trade = $240,000,000 - $270,000,000

= - $30,000,000

(c) Invisible imports include tourism, shipping and insurance.

Invisible imports include banking services and freight and insurance

(d) Current account balance = value of total exports - value of total imports

= $345,000,000 - $370,000,000

= -$25,000,000

(e) The country is a developing one. This is because;

(i) Its exports are made up mainly of unprocessed primary products.

(ii) Its imports are made up mainly of finished goods.

(iii) The value of imports exceeds exports.

Correct Answer: C. biennial

Explanation

(a)(i) The law of diminishing returns The law states that as successive amounts of a variable factor are applied to one or more fixed factors, output might increase a lot at first but there comes a point at which the use of an additional amount of the variable factor will add less to output than the preceding amount.

(ii) Explanation of the main cause of diminishing returns in agricultural production. Wrong combination of inputs:

If the amount of variable factor used is in excess of the fixed factor of production, diminishing returns will set in. For instance, if a plot of land (fixed) is to be cultivated by ten men (variable) under normal situation, but suddenly, the number is increased to twenty-five (25), there would be room for laziness, gossiping and general under-utilization of labour.

(b) Calculation of salvage value, total depreciation and annual depreciation of the combine harvester

Salvage value

+ #30,000.00

Total Depreciation

Cost price - Salvage value

= #100,000.00 = #30,000.00

= #70,000.00

Annual depreciation

= Cost price - Salvage value

Useful life in years

= #100,000.00 - #30,000.00

10 years

= #70,000.00

10 years

= #7,000.00
