Answer:

Ans.

a) To pay off the debt, it would take 190.26 years at a rate of $2,500/second

b) The quantity of dollar bills attached end to end that would take to reach the Moon is  2,478,116,129  

Explanation:

Hi, we are going to need to do some adjustments to the speed equation of physics (for a.) and a unit conversion for b.

Let´s see the equation that we need for a.

PmtSpeed=\frac{Debt}{time}

Therefore.

time=\frac{Debt}{PmtSpeed} =\frac{15,000,000,000,000Dollars}{2,500\frac{dollars}{second} } = 6,000,000,000Seconds

Now, we need to convert this to years, that is:

6,000,000,000Seconds *\frac{1Year}{ 31,536,000Seconds } =190.26Years

Now, for b) we need to establish the leght of a dollar bill in meters, that is.

Dollar(m)=15.50cm*\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.155m

And now, since we know the length of a dollar bill in meters, let´s find out how many would it take to reach the moon.

Bills(Units)= 384,108,000m*\frac{1DollarBill}{0.155m} = 2,478,116,129 Bills

Best of luck.

iragen [17]

Answer:

IGR = 9.1640%

Explanation:

IGR = \frac{ROA \times retention}{1-(ROA \times retention)}

.45 dividend payout ratio

1 - .45 = .55 retention ratio

ROA = Return on Assets  

\frac{Earning \: before\: interest\:and\: taxes}{Toal \: Assets}

Income before taxes 6,200

Assets 11,820 + 28,800 = 40,620 Total Assets

ROA 6,200 / 40,620 = 0.15263417

IGR = \frac{ROA \times retention}{1-(ROA \times 0.retention)}

IGR = \frac{0.15263471 \times .55}{1-(0.15263471 \times 0.55)}

IGR = 0.09164031 = 9.1640%

(ASAP) please help….Please
Lyrx [107]

Explanation:

Through publically agreed laws that correspond to a common set of public restrictions, the ‘people as a sovereign body’ serves to protect against violations of individual liberty and despotic power. Where no such common body exists, individuals are deprived of this protection. In such cases, individuals must obey without liberty, while those in power command under a state of license. Neoliberal theorists maintain that any common personality, with its corresponding set of public and arbitrary positive and negative restrictions on liberty, undermines individual liberty. Neoliberal theory only allows for private restrictions on liberty. Against these neoliberal assumptions, we argue that rejecting public restrictions on liberty does not promote individual liberty.
