A relocation of a short stretch of rural highway feeding into Route 390 northwest of Dallas is to be made to accommodate new gro

wth. The existing road is now unsafe, and improving it is not an alternative. Alternate new route locations are designated as East and West. The initial investment by government highway agencies will be $3,650,000 for East and $5,000,000 for West. Annual highway maintenance costs will be $120,000 for East and $90,000 for the shorter location West. Relevant annual road user costs, to be treated as disbenefits, considering vehicle operation, time en route, fuel, safety, mileage, and so on, are estimated as $880,000 for East and only $660,000 for West. Assume a 20-year service life and i = 7% / year. Compute the incremental B/C ratio and decide whether East or West should be constructed.

Pie

Because raising the money supply boosts the economy, the optimal sentence from the drop-down box is (i) or (a).

<h3>What happens when federal reserves increase?</h3>

Increasing the money supply has a number of consequences which are:

To boost the economy, the Federal government expands the money supply.

Customers use credit because interest rates are lower when the money supply is high.

The unemployment rate is reduced when the money supply is increased.

When the money supply is increased, the economy generally grows because people have more money to spend.

As the amount of money available increases, loans will become more affordable, encouraging people to take out loans knowing that they will just have to pay lesser interest rates.

As they apply to business conduct and business decisions, ethical principles A. A) deal chiefly with a company's standards about
bazaltina [42]

Answer: B. D) are not materially different from ethical principles in general.

Explanation:

Ethical Principles are Ethical Principles. It doesn't really matter what context they are being applied to for they are a standard thing with reference of course, to the society the business is based in. For this reason Business Ethics are not materially different from general ethics.

Business Ethics are usually a reflection of the norms and cultures of the society they are based in. Think of it like this, if a company is based in a certain place and adheres to principles that are different from what is considered ethical in that society, do you think that company will be very profitable? I think not. Business Ethics are therefore based on General ethics with an immaterial difference.
