Anna [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Price Floor led Excess Supply can be solved by : Preserving goods Buffer Stock ; or processing goods to increase their shelf life (in case of perishable goods like Milk)

Explanation:

Unregulated markets are at equilibrium where : market demand , market supply are equal ; and downward sloping demand curve , upward sloping supply curve intersect.

Price Floor is minimum mandated price set by government, below which a good can't be sold in the market. It is usually set above equilibrium price, to protect interest of sellers. Example : Minimum Support Price as minimum agricultural  goods price to protect interest of farmers, Given Milk Price floor case.

Price Floor creates artificially higher prices ; so increases supply, decreases supply & hence creates Excess Supply. Government can solve this excess supply by preserving stock supply for contingent times , eg -  maintaining buffer stock. If the good is of perishable nature, as given milk case : it should be processed further to increase its shelf life, eg - cheese, such that the stock supply can be released at a slower pace.

A wealthy customer has been asked by his neighbor to invest in the private placement of a "start-up" technology company as a ven
Ivanshal [37]

Options:

I because these securities are not registered with the SEC, such an offering would be illegal in the United States

II because the securities are not registered with the SEC, they can only be resold in the public markets if the company effects a registered primary distribution and is current in its SEC filings

III public resale of these securities can only occur if the customer holds the securities for 6 months "at risk" and then sells the securities in measured quantities

IV these securities can only be resold by the customer to underwriters that will buy the securities into their inventory and then register them with the SEC

Answer:

II because the securities are not registered with the SEC, they can only be resold in the public markets if the company effects a registered primary distribution and is current in its SEC filings

III public resale of these securities can only occur if the customer holds the securities for 6 months "at risk" and then sells the securities in measured quantities

Explanation:

Option I is wrong because this type of operations is completely legal, and they are called private placements.

Option IV is also wrong because the underwriters do not register the stocks with the SEC, the company must be public in order for it to be registered  and their stocks publicly traded.

Option II is correct because you can privately resell the stocks, but the market is very limited.

Option III is correct because if the company does turn public, then the investor must hold the stocks for 6 months "at risk" (no puts purchased) before being able to sell them on public markets.

Which of the following occupations would be best suited for someone with an intuitive-feeling style?A. Public relations B. Adver
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Politics

Public relations

Explanation:

There are 4 styles of learning namely:

- Sensing uses their senses to understand the world. They verify first for themselves them they believe

- Intuitive perceives inner meaning in how people relate with each other. Usually they don't just take what they see but look for deeper significance.

- Thinking the individual looks at facts and verifiable information. Thinks in terms of cause and effect.

- Feeling is based on like and dislike. They don't use logic but rather implied meaning of actions.

So for a intuitive-feeling style are those who continuously seek for self expression. They are not comfortable with routine tasks. Do not like following set procedures but act intuitively.

These set of people will do better on politics of public relations
