Answer: The stated purpose of the food administration during the great war was to reduce food consumption by civilians (B)

Explanation:

The U. S. Food Administration was the department responsible for the administration of the United States army abroad and food reserves of its allies during the World War 1. An important role of the United States Food Administration was the regulation of the price of wheat in the market.

During the war, the United States was short of commodities because the commodities were sold to their allies hence, every citizen were asked to donate horses, weapons and ammunition they had to help supply the army. It was done so that food for soldiers wouldn't be an issue.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Additional paid in capital in excess of par value is any amount of money received through issuing stocks at a higher value than par:

additional paid in capital = ($47 - $5) x 12,000 stocks = $42 x 1,200 = $504,000

Why are certain crime losses, such as the theft of furs and jewelry, a more difficult exposure to insure than fire loss?
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

It is very simple, if your house burns down, the evidence is there. All you need to do it look at a house that burnt down either completely or partially, but its easy to verify.

On the other hand, if you report that a necklace was stolen, it is really difficult to verify. Unless it is a unique jewel that is worth a ton of money, you could have simply given it away as a gift and then report it as stolen. The opportunities for insurance fraud are many when dealing with jewelry or other valuable objects that can be moved around easily.

The second question about different grants of authority refer to the organizational structure of a company. E.g. a salesperson in Best Buy is able to sell any item or items to regular customers. But sometimes a large order comes and the company must decide whether to discount the price or not, and then management kicks in and decides. The same happens to insurance agents. A company decides that some agents deal with policies that involve X amount of risk. If the level of risk is higher, they must work with other agents that are authorized to deal with high risk policies. It is basically a clearance level where employees are authorized up to this amount, and above that amount, other employees must be involved.
