AveGali [126]

Answer:

Conversion ratio will be 20 shares

Explanation:

We have given bond value = $1000 per bond

Conversion price = $50

We have to find the conversion ratio

Conversion ratio is the ratio of bond value per bond to the conversion price

So conversion ratio will be equal to =\frac{bond\ value\ per\ bond}{conversion\ price}=\frac{1000}{50}=20\ shares

So conversion ratio will be 20 shares

Pick an ad that speaks out against drug abuse. Write about the possible primary and secondary effects of this ad on the youth in
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign launched the “Above the Influence” (ATI) ad campaign in 2005. The campaign aims to provide young people with a different perspective on life. The campaign’s primary initiative is to reduce drug abuse among teenagers, not just by telling them about the harmful effects of drugs, but by helping them to counter bad influences (such as peer pressure) and believe in themselves. This campaign used print media, the Internet, television, and radio to communicate its message to teenagers.

The primary effects of this ad campaign on the youth in my locality were in terms of the immediate awareness that the ad’s message created. The campaign focused on improving lifestyles rather than just highlighting the bad effects of drugs, so it was able to connect with its target audience. Another key reason for the campaign’s success was the use of multiple media formats to communicate with the target audience.

An important secondary effect of this ad campaign was that it succeeded in spreading awareness about how peer pressure leads people into drug abuse. The campaign’s partnership with schools and other community groups helped to increase its effect on students in their early teens. Another secondary effect of the campaign was a decrease in the long-term use of marijuana and other illicit drugs among teenagers. The campaign managed to foster a feeling of independence and self-assurance among teens over the years.

The message of this ad campaign is still fresh in my mind. I’m sure it had a lasting effect on many others who heard it because it succeeded in building public awareness about the problem of drug abuse and in promoting a positive lifestyle.

The variance of a sample of 121 observations equals 441. The standard deviation of the sample equals 1.91. 231. 21. 11.
Cloud [144]

The standard deviation of sample equals: 11

Explanation:

Given:

                                 variance of sample (S^{2}) = 121

                                 no, of observations made = 441

                                         standard deviation = ?

By using the formula:

                          Standard deviation (S) = \sqrt{variance}

                                                                 = \sqrt{S}

                                                                 = \sqrt{121}

                                                                 = 11

Hence the standard deviation is equal to 11.

Japan has the ability to produce either 10,000 televisions or 5,000 cars in a day. The United States has the ability to produce
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

<h2>The United States has the comparative advantage in car production.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Japan has a lower opportunity cost of producing televisions compared to cars, implying that Japan basically has to give up or sacrifice or trade off relatively less number of cars to produce one more television compared to the production of one more car.
  • Alternatively, US has a lower opportunity cost of producing cars relative to televisions meaning that US has to give up, sacrifice or trade off less number of televisions to manufacture one more car in comparison to the production of one more television.
  • Hence, in this case,US has a comparative advantage in the production of cars and Japan has a comparative advantage in production of television and both countries can produce these respective commodities by using relatively less productive resources or factor inputs.
