When people engage in activities that help others, their brain releases endorphins, the brain’s natural opiates, which induce in

people a feeling of well-being. It has been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity. And a statistic on adults who regularly engage in volunteer work helping others shows that they live longer, on average, than adults who do not volunteer. However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity, because _______.
(A) in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.
(B) the number of young adults who do regular volunteer work is on the increase.
(C) the feelings of well-being induced by endorphins can, at least for a time, mask the symptoms of various conditions and diseases, provided the symptoms are mild.
(D) it is rare for a person to keep up a regular schedule of volunteer work throughout his or her life.
(E) Some people find that keeping a commitment to do regular volunteer work becomes a source of stress in their lives.

Answer:

(A) in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.

Explanation:

In the text three associations are made:

  1. volunteering --> endorphin release
  2. endorphin release ---> longevity
  3. volunteering ---> longevity

The question is why it might be the case that those who volunteer might, on average, live longer, than those who don't, even if the volunteering itself isn't conferring any benefit. In any other words, there must be something about the volunteering population that accounts for them having a longer life expectancy. We're looking for that something else - what feature does this group have that accounts for their longer lifespans?

Answer A is the only one that is relevant, stating that if women are disproportionately represented among volunteers, and women live longer than men do, then we'd expect volunteering populations to live longer than non-volunteering populations, even if volunteering wasn't conducive to long life.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Sales for March, 164 * 15 = $2,460

Explanation:

According to the accrual system, the purchases and sales are recorded when they occur. When compared to the cash basis, they are only recorded when actual cash is received or paid for them.

For March the transaction of 164 units has occurred and thus this sale will be recorded.

Sales for March, 164 * 15 = $2,460

This is the revenue recorded for March under accruals, for cash this would have been 0.

Hope that helps.

Consider the following pre-merger information about a bidding firm (Firm B) and a target firm (Firm T). Assume that both firms h
anastassius [24]

The share price for the merged firm is $48.09. Therefore, the correct option is C

<u>Explanation:</u>

(a)-Net Present Value (NPV)

Net Present Value (NPV) = Market Value of the Target Firm + synergistic benefit – Acquisition Value

= [3600 Shares multiply $19] plus $16700 minus [3600 Shares multiply $21]

= $68400 plus 16700 minus 75600

= $9500

“Net Present Value (NPV) = $9500  

(b) Share Price

Share price = [Market Value of the Bidding firm + NPV] / Number of shares of the Bidding firm

= [( 8700Shares multiply $47) plus $9500] / 8700 Shares

= [$408900 + 9500] / 8700 Shares

= $48.09 per share

“Share Price = $48.09 per share”

A car manufacturer is considering locating an assembly plant in your region.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Perception of the society towards this.

Explanation:

When citing an industry or production site in a locality most often capital is required to get this done but in many scenario capital doesn't seems to be the problem, as the location where these industry is aimed to be planted may likely have an issue with the residents of that environment as regards planting the industry. Some times these opposition is done for obvious reasons as regards health consideration which comes with noise and air pollution but some other times there may be unjustifiable reasons for these not to be planted, probably due greed or the community seeks a share in the resources or return in investment when the firm is planted in their resident. This is a complex problem.

A simple problem would be closeness to the market. If the product in question is desired by the residents in that area, even though the manufacturer might want to be exporting but it'll be a big plus if the residents consider his products more than the external environment.

Nimby can defined as when an individual or a group opposes a decision for the citing of infrastructure and industies in their environment, claiming them to be hazardous to the residents of the environment.

This comes into play for the complex decision because if those residing in the environment don't give a "go ahead" for planting of the industry it won't be successful.

klio [65]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Real balance effect: This effect states the relationship between the price level and the purchasing power of the consumer. If there is a higher price level in an economy then this will reduce the purchasing power of the consumers and results in a fall in investment expenditure, net exports and consumption expenditure. That's why aggregate demand curve is slopes downward.

Interest-rate effect: This effect states the cost of borrowing funds with the price inflation in an economy. If there is a higher interest rate then most of the consumers cut down there borrowings activities which is one of the reason of downward sloping demand curve.

Foreign purchases effect: When there is a fall in the price level then as a result the price in the United states falls relative to the foreign prices. Hence, there is an increase in the U.S exports and decrease in the U.S imports.
