Answer: correct evaluation and medium of exchange etc.

Answer:
a. 7,000 years
b. 2,333 years
c. 875 years
Explanation:
Based on rule of 70, we can have the following formula to do the calculation:
Number of years to double = 70 ÷ Interest rate per year .................... (1)
We can now calculate as follows:
a. A savings account earning 1% interest per year.
Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 1% = 7,000 years
b. A U.S. Treasury bond mutual fund earning 3% interest per year.
Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 3% = 2,333 years
c. A stock market mutual fund earning 8% interest per year.
Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 8% = 875 years
Note:
It can be observed that the higher the interest rate, the lower the number of years it will take the investment to double.

Answer:
C) propagating certain cultural stereotypes
Explanation:
This is true not only for advertising but also for many mass media products. The problem is that sometimes reality is very different than the stereotypes that are portrayed.
One of the most controversial issues is the models' weight. Models tend to be usually much thinner than regular people, and that leads to a misconception that being extremely thin is good and healthy. Besides personal beauty preferences, a girl who is 5 foot 10 and weighs only 100 pounds is not healthy.
Similar issues like portraying certain family or lifestyle stereotypes may also have positive or negative effects on the audience since advertisement reaches millions of people.
