One of the challenges with sexist language is that naming conventions related to marital status tend to only impact females.
When you are changing the language which is considered to be sexist, usually only the words related to women are changed, whereas if men think that they are being treated unfairly, their claims are usually brushed off as unimportant, and this is a huge problem with languages in modern societies.

Currency markets operate under a system of _____ in which the prices of different currencies move up or down based on the deman

neonofarm [45]

Answer: Floating exchange rate

Explanation: The floating exchange rate is a mechanism under which a country's exchange prices are set by the supply and demand-based foreign exchange market compared to other currencies. It compares with a fixed exchange rate, wherein the government decides the rate completely or mainly.

Floating currency regimes mean that lengthy-term currency price movements represent relative economic power and country-to-country rate of interest differences.

A currency that is too high or low may have a negative impact on the country's economy, impacting trade and debt-paying efficiency. The state or banking system would try to take action to bring their currencies towards a more desirable level.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The amount patent(s) should be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents, is $32,300.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Patent book value = $249,600

Remaining useful years January 1, 2020 = 8

Remaining useful months of the patents from January 1, 2020 = Remaining useful years January 1, 2020 * 12 8 * 12 = 96

Monthly Patent book value = Patent book value / Remaining useful months = $249,600 = $2,600

Patent book value amortized from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = Monthly Patent book value * 12 = $2,600 * 12 = $31,200

Legal fee incurred = $93,500

Number of months from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = 11

Relevant months of legal fee incurred starting from December 1, 2020 = Remaining useful months of the patents from January 1, 2020 - Number of months from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = 96 - 11 = 85

Monthly legal fee = Legal fee incurred / Relevant months of legal fee incurred starting from December 1, 2020 = $93,500 / 85 = $1,100

Amount to report = Patent book value amortized from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 + Monthly legal fee for December 1, 2020 only = $31,200 + $1,100 = $32,300

Therefore, the amount patent(s) should be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents, is $32,300.

III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.

IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).

Furthermore, a public good is non-excludable and cannot be exhausted due to its use by the general public i.e it's never depleted.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The correct option which would not be an expected response from decrease in price level is A) with fall in prices, Fargo concrete company has decided to let go workers who have fixed price contracts.

Explanation:

All the options except A are expected response from the fall in price and helps in explaining why the aggregate demand curve shifted ( towards the right ) . In the option B , Tyler decided to remodel his kitchen because of fall in prices, as now he is able to spend more on consumption and investment activities. Same thing is happening in option C and D as the company's here are increasing their investment spending due to the decreased prices.

But the option A , isn't something that was expected as company's don't usually fire their workers just because they have fixed price wage contract and prices have fallen, company is trying to take advantage of fallen prices by reducing the fixed wage workers and hiring new workers on a cheap wage , which help in reducing the company's cost.
