Answer: 2.36 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the amount of time it will take to pay off the initial investment/ outlay which in this case is $15,700.
= Year before investment is paid + (Amount remaining/ Cashflow in year of Payback)
Add up the cashflows to find the year before payback;
= 6,400 + 7,700
= $14,100
Year before payback = 2
Amount remaining;
= 15,700 - 14,100
= $1,600
Payback period = 2 + (1,600/ 4,500)
= 2.36 years

The ideal allocation of 500 police officers should be in West Philadelphia.
Explanation:
We must first describe what the word "allocation" means. Allocation refers to a place that, due to some circumstance, needs to be considered as a place for the allocation of resources. These resources can be money, materials, raw materials, labor, among others.
In the question above, we can see that a wave of crime broke out in Philadelphia, making this region a place that is in need of a specific resource, police. In this case, the ideal allocation of 500 police officers is in West Philadelphia, where the number of crimes is very large and there is a need for professionals like the police.
Answer: % money market; 30% long-term bonds; 5% commodities; 60% stocks, most with low dividends and high growth prospects (option D)
Explanation:
Since liquidity is not currently a major concern to the couple, investment in the money market can be low and also no investment is needed in the high dividend paying stocks.
Option A and C involve significant investment in the high dividend yielding stocks so they're ruled out. We are now left with Option B and D
Long term bonds usually pay less than the required rate that this couple is considering, therefore a significant amount must be invested in high yield return securities. This will make option D the right answer since it fulfils all the required objectives.
Both Monopoly and Oligopoly have large market shares. Unlike monopoly where only one business holds 100% of the market, oligopoly is composed of a few businesses that have market shares. Each movement or decision made by any companies in an oligopoly will greatly affect the market.
Monopoly = 100% market share, has a say on supply and price of goods or services offered.
Oligopoly = 2 or 3 companies share the market. Each have at least 33% of the market. Any change made by one business will affect the other remaining businesses.
