each other?

be hard to find anything, anywhere, that hasn’t changed. The volatility
seen in exchange rates is one of the major external indicators of the
economic impact of the global turmoil in 2020. Exchange rate of some
contries in the world is falling.What will happen if the exchange rate is
still falling continuosly?
3. Covid-19 pandemic affects economy of Indonesia significantly. Level of
house hold consumption decreased. Even the investment, which was
expected to increase by 6 percent, as a result of COVID-19, is predicted to
drop to the level of 1 percent and even -0.4 percent.
Exports and imports will also continue to have negative growth. This
decline in economic growth is one indication of market failure, where the
market mechanism cannot solve the problem itself. Reffering to that
condition,What causes market failure to be occured? Please give one
example ofmarket failure during the pandemic in Indonesia!
4. Outsourcing has become a major trend in human resources over the past
decade. It's the practice of sending certain job functions outside a
company instead of handling them in house. More and more companies,
large and small, are turning to outsourcing as a way to grow. Do you
think that outsourcing is very beneficial for the companies? Please

Answer :

1. Most of Indonesia has English auctions to carry out auctions. The

most common type of auction, the English auction, is often used to
sell art, wine, antiques and other merchandise. Among them, the
auctioneer will start bidding at the lowest price (which may be zero).
This is the lowest price you are willing to accept for an item. As
soon as the bidder announces that he is interested in this price, the
auctioneer will request more bids, usually raising the price in a given
bid increment. This continues until no one is ready to increase bids.
After that, the auction ends and the last bidder receives the item at
his bid price. This type of auction is known as a first price auction
because the winner pays the bid. Dutch auctions, which are also
first-price auctions, are on the decline. That is, the auctioneer starts
at a higher price than the item expects to be fetched and lowers the
price until the bidder finally says "mine". Call. The bidder then
receives the item at the price he called. If multiple items are offered,
 the process will continue until all items have been sold. One of the
main advantages of Dutch auctions is speed. The process takes a
relatively short time because there are no more bids than items that
can be auctioned.
2. For example, use the rupiah currency
 Inflation can skyrocket Inflation is triggered when the rupiah's
exchange rate continues to fall. Living expenses in The land
will rise. Especially for goods and products made from foreign
raw materials material. Why? Because producers have to spend
more money to import raw materials. From another country.
 Orders from exporters are declining Rupiah is the exporter who
was previously flooded with orders from overseas. It will
weaken. Of course, this does not apply to all exporters, The
product still depends on the imported raw materials.
 Can cause a trade deficit If the rupiah continues to depreciate,
exports will increase. This is especially for raw use Export of
raw materials, traditionally Indonesia's most important export
product. because Indonesian exports made from rupiah
looseness, raw materials or other products that do so It is
cheaper to not need imports than in other countries.
 Dismiss an employee Due to the rupiah exchange rate, the
occurrence of layoffs is one of the concerns. Zoom out. As
mentioned earlier, the devaluation of the rupiah can cost
producers a lot of money. Product selling prices and production
costs leading to rising inflation It has increased and people's
purchasing power remains stable. People's purchasing power
When weakened, they cut spending and many are left unsold.
in the case of Manufacturers still have large inventories,
production is declining, or materials are being used It will be
canceled. If so, the industry will inevitably shrink its workforce.
3. Market failures are monopoly or oligopolistic (cartel) practices,
public goods, Externalities, and above all, incomplete or
asymmetrical information. Market activity Affected by law and
regulation. In this case, it is related to the following governments:

restrictions or financial restrictions Social activities that reduce
people's purchasing power (due to social and physical distance)
Because they spent more time at home. As a result, the government
needs to take steps to deal with it. The problem of market failure.
The government has taken some steps to deal with this Market
