Under free market conditions, the relationship between the quantity of medical services demanded and the price of medical servic
asambeis [7]

Under free market conditions, the relationship between the quantity of medical services demanded and the price of medical services is:(D.) Inverse

What are free market conditions?

The relationship between  quantity demanded and price normally, where the market forces are left to determine the happenings in the market, is inverse, in that as the quantity demanded increases prices decrease.

In the same vein, the relationship between the quantity of medical services demanded and the price of medical services, is also inverse which means that the amounts charged by doctors for medical treatment reduces, there would be more patients, since the cost is now cheaper which discourages people to seek alternative medicine.

. El Capitan Foods has a capital structure of 36% debt and 64% equity, its tax rate is 35%, and its beta (leveraged) is 1.4. Bas
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The firm's unleveraged beta is 1.0251

Explanation:

Hamada's equation  is used to separate the financial risk of a levered firm from its business risk.

The Hamada equation:

Bu= Bl/(1 + (1 − T)(D/E))

Bl = 1.4

wd = 0.36

Tax rate = 35%

D/E = wd / (1 – wd) = 0.5625 = 56.25%

= 1.4/ (1+(1-0.35)(0.5625))

=1.4/ 1 + (0.65)(0.5625)

=1.4/1.36

= 1.0251

12) A particular species of North American frog is most comfortable within a temperature range of 20 oC- 40 oC. A mating pair is
meriva

Answer:

The male frog would join the female frog in the water poodle

Explanation:

Mathematically,

Let x = temperature the 10000 joules from sun Ray would raise the temperature of the copper

So therefore:

10000 = m * (x - 33°) * Spc

Where m = mass of copper = 400g

Spc = specific heat capacity of copper = 0.387j/g/°c

So

400 * ( x - 33) * 0.387 = 10000

( x - 33 ) = 10000/ (400 * 0 387)

x = 97.6 °c

Temp for water where m = mass of water = 100g

x¹ = temperature the sun Ray of 10000 joules would raise the temp of water too.

Spw = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184j/g/°c

So therefore;

100 * ( x¹ - 33 ) * 4.184 = 10000joules

x¹ - 33 = 10000/ (100 * 4.184)

x¹ = 56.9°c

Since x for the male frog is greater than x¹ for the female frog, the male frog would be more uncomfortable because it's environmental temp is far higher than the comfort zone tem which is 20° to 40°c so it would move to join the female frog.

What is the key to making extemporaneous speech sound professional and natural
Usimov [2.4K]
Well mainly extemporaneous speeches can be hard,  finding the right words without advanced notice may not be for every speaker. But trust me! No need to worry..... :) The extemporaneous speech is a perfect balance!!!!! This speech involves the speaker's use of notes and some embellishment to deliver a speech. To clear this up, a speaker who uses this method would have note cards or prompts that guide him from point to point, but he uses his own words as he goes along. What makes this different than an impromptu speech is that he has a loose guideline for his speech. He did not memorize anything....... he just used cues to know where to go next.
There are advantages but there are disadvantages to this type of speech sadly..... :(  For one, the audience will think you are a genius. You used few notes and appeared to know everything about the topic. But this is not something that can be done quickly. The same fact finding and research used for other types of speeches must be used here. The speaker also must rehearse this speech for timing, rhythm and flow. Now, if shooting from the hip is not your style, you may want to consider reading your speech!!!! :) But ya. I hope this is better. XD sorry about that.
