Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": moral hazard.

Eukaryotic cells are continually taking up materials from the extracellular space by the process of endocytosis. One type of end
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The correct words that fills the gaps are: pinocytosis; clathrin; endosome; phagocytosis; pseudopods.

Explanation:

The eukaryotic cell The term eukaryotic refers to a true nucleus, separated from the rest of the cell. Eukaryotic organisms include algae, protozoa, fungi, plants, and animals. This group of organisms has a mitotic apparatus, which are cellular structures that participate in a type of nuclear division called mitosis and other organelles responsible for specific functions, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and chloroplasts.

Eukaryotic cells have a compartmentalized cytoplasm, with separated or interconnected membrane organelles, limited by biological membranes that are of the same essential nature as the plasma membrane.

The nucleus is only the most notable and characteristic of the compartments into which the protoplasm is divided, that is, the active part of the cell. In the protoplasm we distinguish three main components, namely the plasma membrane, the nucleus and the cytoplasm, constituted by everything else.

Eukaryotic cells are equipped in their cytoplasm with a complex, highly structured and dynamic cytoskeleton, formed by microtubules and various protein filaments. There may also be a cell wall, which is typical of plants, fungi and multicellular protists, or some other type of coating external to the protoplasm.

Branin Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hou
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

D. $5.40 per direct labor-hour and $11,065

Explanation:

The computation of the total job cost is shown below

= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + direct labor hours × predetermined overhead rate

= $715 + $9,000  250 hours × $5.4

= $715 + $9,000 + $1,350

= $11,065

The predetermined overhead rate is come from

= Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost ÷ direct labor hours + variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor hours

= $160,000 ÷ 80,000 direct labor hours + $3.40

= $2 + $3.40

Identify whether each of the following statements best illustrates the concept of consumer surplus, producer surplus, or neither
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a. Producer surplus

b. Neither

c. Consumer surplus

Explanation:

The producer surplus is the difference between the minimum price a producer is willing to accept for a product and the price he actually gets.  

The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a product and the price he actually gets.  

a. Here, the person gets $189 for his laptop but he was willing to accept $180 as well. This is an example of producer surplus. The producer surplus, in this case, is $9.  

b. In this example, we only know the price that the producer actually received and the price the consumer actually paid. The maximum price the consumer was willing to pay or the minimum price that the producer was willing to accept is not mentioned. So this is neither an example of producer surplus nor consumer surplus.  

c. Here, the consumer was willing to pay $47 for a sweater, but he actually has to pay $40. This is an example of consumer surplus. The consumer surplus is equal to $7.
