There are at least 3 reasons why an artist would represent their ideas in abstract form. First, they may try to show the essential form or shape of the subject matter as in some paintings of the Group of Seven or Emily Carr in Canada in portraying snowy mountains or forests for example. Then, they may show disfigured people and horses screaming their outrage and dismay at being bombed like the painting of Guernica by Picasso to show outright rejection of the terrible bombing of Guernica in Spain by the Nazis in WWII. Also, color in an abstract painting can show the emotions of the painter such as in dark forests by Emily Carr to capture the feeling of being inside a dense forest of being closed in yet surrounded by wonderful vegetation.
        
             
        
        
        
This phenomenon best illustrates how a progressive income-tax system serves as an automatic stabilizer for the economy.
<h3>What is an automatic stabilizer?</h3>
Automatic stabilizers are stabilizers that adjust the economy automatically without the intervention of external agents . Examples include progressive tax and transfer payments. A progressive tax is a tax structure where those who earn higher income are taxed more and those that earn less pay less amount of tax. 
In an expansion, progressive tax increases the tax paid and this reduces disposable income. In a recession, tax paid is reduced and this increases disposable income
Here are the options:
increases crowding out in the economy
 decreases real interest rates in the economy 
 offsets the timing problem for fiscal policy 
Serves as an automatic stabiler for the economy

ROE is 0.1571 or 15.71%
Explanation:
The ROE or return on equity is a measure of a business's profitability in relation to its equity. The Dupont equation breaks down the ROE into three components which are used to calculate the ROE. The formula fro ROE under dupont equation analysis is,
ROE = Net Profit/Sales  *  Sales/Total Assets  *  Total Assets/Total Equity
- The part of Net Profit/Sales is also known as profit margin. 
- The part of Sales/Total Assets  is also known as Assets Turnover

ROE = 0.03  *  110/42  *  2
ROE = 0.1571428571 rounded off to 0.1571
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Sam: Supply decreased, but demand was perfectly elastic.
Explanation:
Sam is right because the only possible explanation is that the demand is perfectly elastic and the supply decreased. When the price elasticity of demand is perfectly elastic, the demand curve is completely horizontal. Since the price of coffee remained the same, that means that the quantity demanded will decrease only if the supply of coffee decreased.
