Answer:

The correct answer is d. Small businesses supply over half of all innovations in the U.S. marketplace each year.

Explanation:

The Patent System (SP) is an incentive scheme to boost the process of invention-technological innovation. The primary objective of a SP is that it has the capacity to protect innovators with the purpose of increasing the technical progress of the economy, but that, at the same time, it is efficient in spreading these innovations in order to boost economic development.

It is generally believed that small companies make little use of the patent system because they find it complicated and difficult; Some even think they don't even exist. However, studies show that "less relevant" companies were more active in developing emerging technologies than expected.

In this sense, it was shown that companies with less than 25 employees promoted more patents than companies that housed 50 workers who, in turn, developed a greater number of patents than companies with 100 employees, and so on.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Company’s Cost of Goods Manufactured = $1,506,500

Explanation:

Use following formula to calculate cost of goods manufactured

Cost of Goods Manufacture = Direct Material cost + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead + Work in process beginning balance - Work in process Ending balance

Cost of Goods Manufacture = $523,000 + $215,000 + $774,500 + $78,000 - $84,000

Cost of Goods Manufacture = $1,506,500

A firm's bonds have a maturity of 10 years with a $1,000 face value, a 9 percent semiannual coupon, are callable in 5 years at $
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Yield to maturity is 3.94%

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity.

Face value = F = $1,000

Coupon payment = $1,000 x 9% = $90/2  = $45 semiannually

Selling price = P = $1080

Number of payment = n = 10 years x 2 = 20

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $45 + ( 1000 - 1080 ) / 20 ] / [ (1,000 + 1080 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $45 - 4 ] / 1040 = $41 /1040 = 0.394 = 3.94%

loris [4]

Answer:

c. ​unconstitutional under the First Amendment.

Explanation:

Under the first amendment the act of banning such printed materials is unconstitutional. As it is not good for people in the country to witness such things.

As printed material includes books, magazines, and other things which enhance the knowledge level of different people.

Therefore, banning printed material will make the country people short of knowledgeable resources.

Therefore, the court will announce it unconstitutional.
