(a) The correct answer is Mayors tend to be in charge of General-Purpose Governments.

Correct answer is D) General-purpose governments provide many different services while special-purpose governments provide specific services.

d

Explanation:

Because they are both forms of local government, the main difference between the forms of government is that general-purpose governments provide many different services while special-purpose governments provide specific services. A school district is an example of a special-purpose government.

The answer is the last option which is general-purpose governments offer many different services while special-purpose governments offer specific services. Examples of special-purpose are cemetery districts, water districts, and fire districts to name a few while general-purpose governments example is an Indian tribal organization.

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Special-Purpose Equipment:

Fixed costs= $200,000 per year

Unitary variable cost= $15 per unit

General-Purpose Equipment:

Fixed costs= $50,000 per year

Unitary variable cost= $20 per unit

We need to find the cost function:

Special-Purpose= 200,000 + 15*q

General-Purpose= 50,000 + 20*q

200,000 + 15q = 50,000 + 20q

150,000=5q

30,000 = q

30,000 units is the indifference point. From 30,000 units Special-Purpose is cheaper.

the correct answer is C

c.special-purpose governments are seldom found in modern times.

This is because the paragraph asserts,though abstractly of the benefits of general purpose governemnts and seems to be in favour of general purpose governemnts over special purpose one. Essentially,the sentiment is true because in modern times most local governments can be classified as general purpose.
