Answer:

Negative stereotype

Explanation:

Northcott's study, for example, in the 1970s, concluded that the negative image of old age on television was a constant and the few elderly characters always played lesser and less visible roles.

The research by Swayne and Greco narrowed the issue further in the 1980s, as it showed cases of double negative stereotype, that of elderly minorities on television.

Also in the 1980s, Dail showed that the elderly, much more than any other social group, were portrayed in the media in an unpleasant and negative way, especially regarding their physical abilities, health, sociability, personality and work ability.

Television ads usually portray the elderly as being vibrant, active, healthy, energetic, etc.

In television ads, things are usually depicted as being the opposite of what they are in real life. That, or television ads are meant to reinforce stereotypes. That's usually in more television shows, instead of advertisements though.

Answer:

Net cash provided by operating activities for 2018 was $4,560,000

Explanation:

The net cash provided by operating activities can be computed by preparing the operating activities of the statement of cash flow as shown below:

Net income for the year $3,000,000

add depreciation $1,200,000

add amortization $240,000

deduct increase in accounts receivable ($420,000)

Marginal Utility puts a numerical value on the amount of satisfaction that a consumer gets from buying an additional unit of a product or service. Therefore based on this information it can be said that the information provided in the question indicates that in order to maximize utility, Ellie should buy more of Alpha and less of Beta, mainly due to the fact that the marginal cost of Alpha is double that of Beta and both cost the same price.

If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.80, what is the total implied increase in economic spending activity from a governmen

Rzqust [24]

$\$500$ is the total implied increase in economic spending activity from a government stimulus of $\$100$ billion

<u>Explanation: </u>

The median product preference tests the increase in expenditure due to changes in availability.

In increasing government expenditure, total economic investment would be increased by the scale of the budget multiplier. In other terms, the expenditure equation indicates how much GDP can increase as government expenditure increases.

The spending multiplier can be expressed as $\frac{1}{1-M P C} \text { or } \frac{1}{M P S}$

$\text { Increase in GDP }=\frac{1}{1-M P C} \times \Delta G=\frac{1}{1-0.8} \times 100=\$ 500$

So, the total implied increase in economic spending is $\$ 500$

In economics, marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of an aggregate raise in pay that consumer spends on the consumption of services and goods, as opposed to saving it.
