What was the economy like in Charleston, South Carolina, in the 1960s? In the early 20th century, agriculture was the key to the economy of Charleston’s estate; however, in the 1960s, the value of manufactured goods exceeded the number of agricultural products. Despite that agriculture has continued to play an essential role in the economy, it was then playing a diminishing role since employment in the service and manufacturing industry was increasing. The manufacturing industry was now involved in the production of non-durable products and fabric production. However, the trend changed in the late 1960s, and early 1970s were transportation equipment, and other durable goods were now playing a pivotal role (John & Donald 2019). Also, the service sector was propelling the economy, with tourism playing the most significant part. Since the 1960s, South Carolina farms have declined in number. However, cotton and cottonseed have remained a top crop. It was once in every estate, but now it’s limited to a few farms. Tobacco farms for many years it was a leading crop in the estate, and it remained central in…
Corporate Finance: United Automobiles Company My firm, United Automobiles, is based in the United States. It will be exporting automobiles, especially passenger cars, to different countries across the globe. Its primary target market is Canada due to its high population that relies on the private transport system. For the interest of the business, it is essential to analyze various factors that can influence the balance of trade between the United States and Canada. Besides, the same factors may influence the demand for automobiles in Canada and consequently dictating the company’s success. Factors that affect the balance of trade between the United States and Canada Trade policies/ Regulations The success of UA Company will significantly be influenced by trade policies between Canada and the United States.

direct and indirect price discrimination The competition is ever-growing due to the increased number of business organizations being established today (Rowe, 2019). This trend has pushed organizations to become more innovative so that they can deal with the competition and remain successful in the long run. Additionally, some organizations have been using different pricing strategies and methods so that they can attract as many customers as possible. This week I gained very relevant and helpful knowledge and insights concerning issues involving direct and indirect price discrimination and lastly about strategic games. Direct Price Discrimination-In this, there are several essential things that I learned and can be applied to solve real organizational problems (Froeb, McCann, Shor & Ward, 2017). First is that direct price discrimination refers to a process where an organization tries to set different prices on their goods/services for two groups. An organization usually does this practice to increase its profits since when different prices are charged on the same goods, then the organization maximizes its sales and margin. To do this effectively, the organization needs to identify the…
Being a Price-setter or a Price-taker The power of providers to set prices depends on the benefits derived from the provider. A provider can either decide to be a price-taker or a price-setter. For price takers, providers are regarded as powerless because they do not have a say on the prices. It, therefore, means that the providers cannot control the cost. The advantage is that the price set may be higher than what the provider could have charged, thus benefiting the provider (Barber, Lorenzoni & Ong, 2019). On the other hand, the price setter benefits from the prices they have set. The third-party payers are always expected to adhere to the price set by the providers “Letters: Who should set prices for healthcare services?” 2019). In this regard, the providers usually enjoy the benefits that are linked with the prices they set. While setting the costs, the providers consider all the expenses they incur and ensure that they breakeven. Having a third party-payer accepting the prices set by the providers can be advantageous to the price setters. Taking third party…
The role of the European Union at Securitization of Migrants in Refugee Crisis as of 2015 Abstract. The study entails how migration has developed into becoming an issue of security and how the European Union incorporation has implications in it. Ever since the 1980s, political migration development continuously referred to the migration destabilizing impacts on domestic involvement and risks for societal order it inferred. The internal market spillover into internal security queries of European points at the local creations at the level of European. The Dublin Convention and Schengen agreement have depicted the restrictive development migration policy and migration social construction into questions of security. However, the occurrence of political processes of linking migration to terrorists and criminal abuses of the inside market does not occur in seclusion. It has been asserted to relate to a broader politicization where seekers of asylum and immigrants are depicted as an issue challenging the protection of welfare and identity of the nation being provided. Also, it is asserted that the securitization of immigrants is propelled by professional agencies, political agents, and political parties.…
The pair between the British pound and Euro The pair between the British pound and Euro represents a relationship between the two largest economies in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the Eurozone. The duo has economic interdependence and closeness between the two; therefore, it is less volatile than other pound and Euro. Inflation rate and the interest rate has various effects on the currency. Discussion A relatively high inflation rate in the United Kingdom reduces the value of the British pound. The high inflation in the United Kingdom causes an increase in the price of goods in the UK than in European products. Moreover, the UK commodities are less competitive, lowering the demand for export goods and hence less need for the British pound. The rate of buying the Euro increases, therefore, increase in supply for British pounds, thus decrease in the value of the British pound. The inflation in Britain pound depreciates its value against the Euro pound. In the long run, variation in relative inflation rates causes a change in the foreign exchange rates (Subbarao & KR, 2017).…

Sustainable Renewable Energy Production and Consumption Task One The industrial sector consumes a larger percentage of the national grid power consumption. For example, Nikoobakht et al (2018) agree that in 2017 about one-third of energy consumption in the United States was used by industries. This is due to the increased demand for production and manufacturing in the industries whereby some of the heavy machinery, which consume huge amounts of power, run for longer durations. However, most of the industries such as Rotork Controls rely on oil, coal, and natural gas as their sources of energy hence having a great negative impact on climate change due to the excessive release of Green House Gases into the atmosphere (Stigka et al, 2014). Some of the pollutants generated include Sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides which end up boosting the depletion of the ozone layer. Moreover, hazardous metals such as chromium, lead, mercury, and beryllium are released in the process of generating electricity during the burning of fossil fuels. Due to the looming danger of climate change, Rotork Controls is in the…
