Solution :

The risk averse is the person who wishes to reduce the uncertainty attached to the money.

Certain income = $2000.

50-50 chance of 1000 and 3000 would income expected income of

(0.5 x 1000) +(0.5 x 3000) = 2000

Both of them gives an equal amount of income while there is uncertainty attached with the second case which makes the risk averse person disincline to follow.

Hence the statement is FALSE.

When applying the characteristics of business buyer behavior, which event is not an example?

Anarel [89]

I'm on the same question right now. I wanna say C, <em>Black & Decker sells its power tools directly to consumers on the Internet.</em>

The question asks about business buyer behavior which is pretty much businesses buying and selling to eachother. Lowe's is involved with Whirlpool brand items, Kroger is involved with purchasing items from other businesses/suppliers, and Kellogg is selling their product to other grocery stores (businesses).

Black & Decker isn't involved with any other businesses.

Anyways, I'd say C :)

EDIT: it is C, 100%. Just finished

Assuming a country's economy maintains an 8% rate of growth, young adults starting at age 20 would see the average standard of l

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

A) 30

Explanation:

to determine in how many years the economy will double with an 8% growth rate, we can use the rule of 72. The rule of 72 basically works by dividing 72 by the compounding growth rate to determine the number of years it will take an investment to double.

The rule of 72 works well when growth rate is between 6-10%, at 8% it is quite exact. For lower growth rates you should use the rule of 70 which is basically the same but instead of using 72, you use 70. For growth rates over 10% you should use 69.3.

the number of years for the economy to double = 72/8 = 9 years, so 9 plus 20 = 29 years. Since the question asks at what age the economy should have more than doubled, it would be a little over 29, and in this case it is 30.

You can always check which number is more exact calculating 1.08⁹ = 1.999
