Answer: c.

In a competitive market, there are many producers competing to provide consumers the products they needed and thus they cannot dictate prices.

If a surplus occurs, there is an excess of quantity supplied and since producers won't be able to sell all their products, they tend or are forced to lower their price.

The reverse happens when there is a shortage. When there is less supply in the market, price increases.

Surplus and shortage in a competitive market, therefore, will cause shifts in the demand and supply curves that tend to eliminate the surplus or shortage.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:-

Incorrect

ROA = Net Income ÷ Average assets

= $101,900 ÷ (($550,000 + $573,000) ÷ 2)

= $101,900 ÷ $561,500

= 0.18

ROE = Net Income ÷ Average equity

= $101,900 ÷ (($340,000 + 356,000) ÷ 2)

= $101,900 ÷ $348,000

= 0.29

Debt Ratio = Total debt ÷ Average Assets

= $217,000 ÷ (($550,000 + $573,000) ÷ 2)

= $217,000 ÷ $561,500

= 0.39

EPS = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Shares

= $101,900 ÷ 22,000

= $4.63

Correct

ROA = Net Income ÷ Average assets

= ($101,900 - $8,500) ÷ (($550,000 + $573,000 - $8,500) ÷ 2)

= $93,400 ÷ $557,250

= 0.17

ROE = Net Income ÷ Average equity

= ($101,900 - $8,500) ÷ (($340,000 + 356,000 - $8,500) ÷ 2)

= $93,400 ÷ $343,750

= 0.27

Debt Ratio = Total debt ÷ Average Assets

= $217,000 ÷ (($550,000 + $573,000 - $8,500) ÷ 2)

= $217,000 ÷ $276,500

= 0.78

EPS = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Shares

= ($101,900 - $8,500) ÷ 22,000

= $4.25

Section 103 of the Federal Public Works Employment Act establishes the Minority Business Enterprise program and requires that, a

EastWind [94]

Explanation:

Looking from a fair point of view, the White owners of businesses have legitimate reasons to feel that the Act constitutes illegal reverse discrimination.

Remember, reverse discrimination implies an unfair treatment of the majority group (White owners) in an effort to please the minority group. This is evident from the fact that the 10 percent of all federal grants to be released by the Economic Development Administration was only to be used to purchase services or supplies from businesses owned and controlled by U.S. citizens belonging to one of six minority groups excluding the White business owners; making the White owners feel discriminated against.

Thus, unintentionally the Act became a reverse discrimination on White business owners.
