Explanation of Solution

The revenue-sharing model for Major League Baseball (MLB) teams was given by the blue-ribbon panel, which was an autonomous board selected by the MLB commissioner to look into the matter of increasing inequality between the local returns. The mechanism tends to favor the local revenues. The mechanism that tends to favor the revenue sharing redistributes the income between rich and poor teams. The balance is preserved for the future. Thus, it is assumed that the coming demand for sports will upsurge, leading to an increase in revenue of the game. Some big clubs claimed that some teams should not get the money. They said that certain teams have not shown any upgrading after the revenue-sharing model and in its place some team owners hoarded the profit. Therefore, it can be said that the revenue allocation does not increase the balance in the competition but it reduces the incentives for teams to win.

. What the heck is this GDP thingy? It is Thursday afternoon, just a few days before the holiday season starts in your region, and you decided to visit your uncle Chao who owns a local delivery company. While sitting in the living room watching the evening news with your uncle, you heard the news reporter stating the following with an optimistic tone: "According to recent studies, gross domestic product (GDP) is rising due to an increase in consumer spending. The increase in spending was due to an increase in consumer confidence because the job market has shown a positive increase in both employment and income." Immediately, your uncle Chao looked at you with some confusion on his face and asked: What the heck is GDP, and why does the news dude seem excited about its increase? Does this “good” change in this GDP thingy have any effect on my delivery business? How? Do I need to do something different to prepare for the rise in GDP? How?
