ANSWER: A. 25% academic scholarship, 50% Grants, 25% subsidized loans

EXPLANATION: The lowest cost to the student means the lowest expenditure of the student for his education.

Going by the option A if the student receives 25% academic scholarship, 50% grants and 25% subsidized loans, the student's expenditure will only be repaying the loan amount. Academic scholarships and Grants are non-repayable fund and are thus waived off from his educational expenditure.

If the student gets 50% academic scholarship and 50% subsidized loans, then he will have to pay back 50% of the academic fees compared to the option A where only 25% was needed to be repaid.

Similarly, for the next two options, the subsidized loan facility doesn't fall to 25%. So these options will be costing more to the student.

The price elasticity of demand for a particular cancer drug is zero and the price elasticity of supply is 0.50. If a $1 excise t

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

$1 or 100% of the tax

Explanation:

When the price elasticity of demand is 0, it means that the good or service will be purchased regardless of its cost. Very few things have such a low price elasticity, and the fact that this is drug for treating cancer is the reason why that happens. Anyone that can purchase a drug that will keep you alive, will do so as long as you have enough money to do so. Another good with a very low price elasticity, but not 0, is gasoline with a 0.02 to 0.04, and gasoline is a basic necessity also.

The curve for a perfectly inelastic good is vertical. So any increase in taxes will be paid by the customers.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Arguments supporting Affirmative Action:

1) Affirmative action is a method that ensure the diversity is obtained and maintained in schools and workplaces. Moreover, it also helps to create tolerant communities therefore, it exposes people to a variety of cultures and ideas that are different from their own.

2)Affirmative action assists disadvantaged people that come from areas of the country where opportunities are limited be able to advance and they otherwise could not. In other words, it bestows everybody the same playing field.

3)Affirmative action is for to help by compensating to some races who are"started late in the race" , due to many years of oppression, and it also helps level the playing field.

Arguments against Affirmative Action:

1) Affirmative Action can be described as reverse discrimination. More specifically, past discrimination against some minority groups does not justify existing discrimination against them.

2) It weakens the notion of meritocracy and instead weakens races as a dominant factor in recruitment and recruitment procedures. Regardless of the situation, the best people for the position should be placed there.

3) Students / staff involved in the approval process are often not fully prepared for the assignment.

4) Affirmative Action strengthens stereotypes and racism compared to the previous point. People who give a position almost positively because of their activity are often unsuitable and the idea that all people in this race are "stupid" is endless.

5) People of different races or ethnic backgrounds do not need to have differences of opinion in the workplace / university. People with the same skin color are not necessarily the same in terms of vision or culture.

Mariana [72]

Answer: Altruism

Explanation: It refers to the behavior when an individual considers the benefit of other more important than the self benefit.

OHARA COMPANY

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information, the ratio analysis for the year 2017 at OHARA Company can be computed as follows:

1. Working capital = Current (assets - liabilities)

Working capital = $458900 - $195500

Working capital = $263,400 (for 2017)

Given that the working capital for 2016 = $160,500

Thus, the % increase of 2017 over 2016 = 64.11% increase.

2. Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

Current ratio = 458,900/195,500

Current ratio = 2.35 (for 2017)

Given that the Current ratio for 2016 = 1.65

Thus, the % increase of 2017 over 2016 = 42.43% increase

3. Free cash flows = Operating cash flows - Capital expenditure - dividends

Free cash flows = $190800 - $92000 - $31000

Free cash flows = $67,800

Given that the free cash flow for 2016 = $48,700

Thus, the % increase of 2017 over 2016 = 39.22%

$Debt to assets ratio = \dfrac{Total \ debt} { total \ assets}$

Debt to assets ratio = 395,500/10,34,200

Debt to assets ratio = 38.24%

Given that the debt to assets ratio for 2016 = 31%

Thus, the % increase of 2017 over 2016 = 23.35%

Earnings per share = $\dfrac{earnings \ available \ to \ equity \ shares}{weighted \ a verage \ equity \ shares}$

Earnings per share = $\dfrac{153100}{50000}$

Earnings per share = $3.06

Given that the earnings per share = $3.15

Thus, the % decrease of 2017 over 2016 = 2.86%
