Suppose, before the 2016 presidential elections, the League of Women Voters wanted to sponsor a three-way debate among the leadi

ng 2016 presidential hopefuls Donald Trump (R), Ted Cruz (R), and Hillary Clinton (D). (This IS a hypothetical.) If Clinton had declined the invitation to the debate, would a debate between Trump and Cruz trigger the equal opportunity requirement of 47 U.S.C.§315 and entitle Clinton to equal air time?

Answer:

No. Clinton would lose the right to use that time.

Explanation:

As you may already know, during a presidential election it is common for candidates to participate in debates. These debates allow them to express their views on important factors in national politics, as well as giving these candidates the opportunity to present their political ideas, what they stand for and why they deserve your vote.

The debates must be held in a democratic way, allowing all candidates to have equal opportunities in terms of time and condition to speak. Within a debate, the time set aside for one candidate must be equal to the time set aside for the other, however, if one of the candidates refuses to participate in the debate, he / she loses the right to that time and cannot use it in a ground cover to promote your company.

Answer:

Yes, Hilary Clinton is entitled to equal air time as encapsulated in the requirements of <em> 47 U.S. Code § 315., Candidates for public office. </em>

Explanation:

The equal-time rule specifies that U.S. radio and television broadcast stations must provide an equivalent opportunity to any opposing political candidates who request it. This means, as examplified in the question, that the hypothetical sponsored 2016 Presidential Election Debate by the League of Women Voters among Presidential hopefuls of major political parties of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Hilary Clinton must offer Hilary Clinton equal opportunities in prime time, price if applicable and prefered advertiser.

The equal-time rule was created so that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will ensure that broadcast stations could not easily manipulate the outcome of elections by presenting just one point of view, and excluding other candidates.

<em>Exceptions to the Equal-time Rule. </em>

  • If the airing was within a documentary, bona-fide news interview, scheduled newscast or an on-the-spot news event, the equal-time rule does not apply;
  • Since 1983, political debates not hosted by the media station are considered "news events," and as a result, are not subject to the rule;
  • Consequently, these debates may include only major-party candidates without having to offer air time to minor-party or independent candidates;
  • Talk shows and other regular news programming from syndicators, such as Entertainment Tonight, are also declared exempt from the rule by the FCC on a case-by-case basis.

You live in a town with 300 adults and 200 children, and you are thinking about putting on a play to entertain your neighbors an
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

To maximize profit, you would charge $8 for an adult's ticket and $4 for a child?s ticket. Total profit in this case would be $800.

The city council passes a law prohibiting you from charging different prices to different customers.

Now you set a price of $8 for all tickets, resulting in $600 in profit.

Indicate whether each of the following groups of people is better off, worse off, or the same because of the law prohibiting price discrimination.

Groups of People Better Off Worse Off Unchanged

Adults x

Children x

You, the Producer x

Suppose the fixed cost of the play were $2,600 rather than $2,000.

Complete the following sentences indicating how this would change your answers to the previous parts.

In the presence of price discrimination, the adult price of a ticket would remain the same, and the child price would remain the same. Total profit would fall to $200.

If price discrimination were banned and the monopolist continued to produce the play no matter what the profit, the price of a ticket would remain the same, and total profit would fall to $0.

Cynthia always buys whichever brand of paper towels is on sale, even if it is not the highest quality towel. her paper towel buy
Ann [662]

Single feature model

In this case, the single feature that Cynthia cares about is price. The single feature model works well for simple decisions, but most purchases require more thought. For example, buying a house based solely on price would be a terrible idea because it might be in a bad neighborhood or terrible condition.

Evaluate Microsoft’s product and marketing evolution over the years. What has the company done well, and where did it falter?
OverLord2011 [107]

Explanation:

Microsoft is a giant technology company with worldwide influence.

Its success and reputation have ensured the company the position of the most valuable company in the world by market capital.

The popularization of the Windows Operating System, worldwide, was the product that consolidated the company as a giant in the business world. Technological companies, should focus on innovation, as each day more advances in technology appear to correct possible system errors, make the user's performance and use better and make production costs cheaper. With regard to the Operating System for computers, Microsoft has always evolved in launching new, more evolved versions, and making the previous ones obsolete for use, but one of the company's failures was to have lost the timing to develop an OS aimed at the use in cell phones, since that the company tried to enter this market, but was unsuccessful, and was defeated by its biggest competitors: Google and Apple.
