Answer: A) The United States felt if Europe was financially stable then communism would be less likely to spread.
Explanation: One of the major goal of the United States in giving financial aids to Europe and Latin America was to assist in rebuilding the war-torn regions, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, improve European prosperity, and prevent the spread of Communism. This was known as the European Recovery Plan in 1948 which was to send foreign aid to Western Europe. During this period, the United States transferred over $12 billion dollars in economic recovery programs to Western European economies after the end of World War II.

Explanation:
a. What is Poplock’s year 1 depreciation expense for each asset?
See attachment. Note that the depreciation for the assets were calculated as the original basis × the rate. e.g for Computer equipment, the Depreciation was, the original basis of $5000 × the rate of 20% which equals $1,000.
b. What is Poplock’s year 2 depreciation expense for each asset?
Check attachment.
Depreciation for computer = $1600
Depreciation for day grooming furniture = $1714
Depreciation for popup truck = $3200
Depreciation for commercial building = $6923
Answer:
Value of x maximising profit : x = 5
Explanation:
Cost : C(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x + 15 ; Revenue: R(x) = 28x
Profit : Revenue - Cost = R(x) - C(x)
28x - [x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x + 15] = 28x - x^3 + 6x^2 - 13x - 15
= - x^3 + 6x^2 + 15x - 15
To find value of 'x' that maximises total profit , we differentiate total profit function with respect to x & find that x value.
dTP/dx = - 3x^2 + 12x + 15 = 0 ► 3x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0
3x^2 + 3x - 15x - 15 = 0 ► 3x (x +1) - 15 (x + 1) = 0 ► (x+1) (3x-15) = 0
x + 1 = 0 ∴ x = -1 [Rejected, production quantity cant be negative] ;
3x - 15 = 0 ∴ 3x = 15 ∴ x = 15/3 = 5
Double derivate : d^2TP/dx^2 = - 6x + 12
d^2TP/dx^2 i.e - 6x + 12 at x = 5 is -6(5) + 12 = - 30+ 12 = -8 which is negative. So profit function is maximum at x = 5
Answer:
Correct answer is D.
$4375
Explanation:
Amortization of actuarial gain or losses = Net actuarial gain/remaining service life
= 87500/20
Amortization of actuarial gain = $4375
It would be C because women are thought to be physically weaker and not as useful as men. Women can be useful but in certain professions its a lot harder for them. Also men tend to be more willing to work when they get injured or such.
