Answer:
This is really a personal opinion, since whether it is correct to send people to mars or not depends largely on your point of view and personal beliefs. Clearly, humans are far more capable than robots, and they can explore space and eventually other planets much better than a rover. On the other hand, sending people to Mars is not only extremely expensive, but it is also extremely dangerous for the astronauts themselves.
Imagine so many people died trying to get to space and then to the moon, and that was very easy compared to getting to Mars and back.
We can find millions of better ways to use the money than sending people to space, and that is really hard to argue against. Our planet, our country, state or even city could all benefit and use the money more productively.
But lets say that we do not care about the money because Mr. Bezos or some other billionaire decided to donate it. Now we would face the technical issues of going to Mars and actually staying there for a long time. A trip to mars is not something that would be carried out for just a couple of hours (like moon walking). Astronauts will have to stay in Mars for weeks, months or even years before they can return. This results in an extreme danger to their health due to cosmic rays. Can humans survive long term exposure to cosmic rays? The answer is NO and Mars's atmosphere doesn't help.
If we analyze this situation from a technical point of view, it would be better and safer to send astronauts to Titan (Saturn's moon), and would probably be also more useful. Titan's environment is similar to Earth's in many ways, and if we are actually doing it for a scientific purpose besides simply being curious, then it is much more useful to go to Titan. The scientific purpose of going to mars instead of other possible destinations is not very solid. Mars is really different to Earth and unless someone finds Martians living there, there is not much you can do.
Answer:
1. Dividends = Dividends, it decreases stockholder's equity.
2. Rent Revenue = Revenue, it increases stockholder's equity
3. Advertising Expense = Expense, it decreases stockholder's equity
4. Stockholder's pay cash into business = Issuance of stock, increases stockholder's equity.
Explanation:
Notes to above:
1. Dividends are paid from current year income or from retained earnings, as both current year earnings and retained earnings are clubbed into equity thus, with payment of dividend, equity is decreased.
2. Rent revenue is a part of income and income is part of equity as with increase in income there is increase in equity also.
3. Advertising expense will decrease the income and with decrease in income there will be decrease in equity.
4. Stockholder's pay cash into business as for issuance of stock and with issue of stock equity will increase.
Answer:
total weight of debt = 0.343 or 34.3%
Explanation:
stock's market value = 17,500 x $69 = $1,207,500
bond₁'s market value = $250,000 x 101.5% = $256,750
bond₂'s market value = $350,000 x 106.5% = $372,750
total market value of the firm = $1,837,000
weighted capital structure:
market value weight
stocks $1,207,500 0.657
bond₁ $256,750 0.140
bond₂ $372,750 0.203
total $1,837,000 1
total weight of debt = 0.343 or 34.3%
Answer:
1,2,4,3
Explanation:
Liquidity measures how quickly an asset can be converted and used as a medium of exchange.
$50 bill is the most liquid because it can be readily used as a medium of exchange without any conversion.
The funds in a savings account is the second most liquid because because it must first be withdrawn from a bank account before it can be used as a medium of exchange. It can be converted to a medium of exchange within a day.
A bond issued by a publicly traded company is the third most liquid because it takes a longer period for it to be converted to cash.
A boat is the least liquid because it takes a long while to find a buyer for a boat.
I hope my answer helps you.
Answer:
The total supply can be found by adding individual supply functions as follows:
Qa+Qb = Q
Q = -2+p+0.5p
Q= -2+1.5p where p = $44 therefore;
Q= -2+1.5(44)
Q= 64
Total supply at p = $15
Q= -2+15(1.5)
Q= 20.5
