Answer:

a. Sometimes candidates unpopular with the party leadership reach the top.

Explanation:

Under the primary system there is voting on the ballots which is secret in nature and under the caucus system people vote after listening to the individual nominees and then accordingly to the candidate they like.

In this manner, the candidates who are not even belonging to some recognized or popular parties are in leadership as their individual speech is too alluring to the people present for voting that they vote for that specific candidate.

Thus, the correct answer is:

Statement a.

The income statement of Dolan Corporation for 2012 included the following items:

torisob [31]

Answer:

C) $16,000.

Explanation:

cash paid for insurance premiums = total insurance expense + ending balance of prepaid insurance - beginning balance of prepaid insurance

cash paid for insurance premiums = $15,200 + $3,000 - $2,200 = $16,000

Generally when you purchase an insurance policy you can either pay every month or pay for several months in advance and get a discount. When you pay for several months in advance, you must debit prepaid insurance. Then as time passes, you must accrue insurance expense. For e.g. you pay $2,400 today for a 1 year insurance premium, and at the end of the month you will accrue $200 of insurance expense. But your cash payment was made today.

Suppose that preferences over private consumption C and public goods G are such that these two goods are perfect substitutes, th

Temka [501]

Answer:

Please see explanation below.

Explanation:

Public goods are goods consumed collectively, they are provided for all members of a community,

no one can be excluded from their consumption. The consumption by one person does not decrease the consumption possibilities for others. Public goods are available for everybody without paying, and these goods cannot be rationed: they are either provided for the whole community, or for no one. Examples of public goods include the public lighting system, public roads, radio broadcasts, national defence, lighthouses, town pavements, etc.

Private goods, on the other hand, are goods consumed individually, and if a unit has been consumed by

someone, then no one else can also consume the same unit. Private goods are scarcely available, and consuming a unit will decrease the amount available for further consumption. Therefore consumers compete for private goods, i.e. private goods are rival in consumption. Consumers can consume them if they pay the price, non-payers are excluded from consumption.

In the first scenario, given that both the private good and public good are perfect substitutes, the optimum quantity produced by the government is at the point where marginal social cost is equal to the marginal social benefit. This optimum output is lower than that of the private firm because the price of public good is higher than price of private good (since marginal social cost > marginal private cost).

If b increases, that means consumers are willing to give up more units of public goods for one unit of the private good. Therefore, the quantity produced by the government will reduce.

For the second part of the question: C = aG, where a > 0.

This implies that equal or more units of the private good is consumed with a particular units of public good. The optimum output still remain at the point where marginal social cost is equal to marginal social benefit but this output level is lower than if the two goods were to be perfect substitutes.

To meet the customer's investment objective of tax advantaged income, the BEST recommendation is for the customer to:

A. immediately liquidate the entire Dyno-Mite position and invest the proceeds in high yield bonds

B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

C. liquidate the IRA without penalty since Jack is past age 59 1/2, and use the proceeds to buy corporate income bonds

D. consider early retirement, since Jack is old enough to receive Social Security as a means of supplementing income

Answer:

B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

Explanation:

Given that, the customer has a "moderate" risk tolerance level and dividend income is at the moment taxed at the preferential rate of 15%, therefore, it is expected that investments in high yielding common and preferred stocks will meet the customer's objective of tax-advantaged income.

Hence, the right answer is Option B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks
