Answer:

B) Country A uses fewer resources to produce corn than Country B does.

What investment type typically carries the least risk
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Certificates of Deposit (CDs), U.S Treasury Bills, and savings accounts are generally regarded as the least risky investments, given that they are backed - at least up to a certain limit - by the U.S government. 

CDs are essentially fixed-term savings accounts, which means you must deposit your funds for a set amount of time, until the account reaches what is called "maturity." Withdrawing funds before this point typically leads to a fee. In return for sacrificing liquidity, CDs tend to offer higher interest rates than normal savings accounts. These rates are most often fixed, though they sometimes come with a feature that enables you to readjust your interest rates once over your account's lifetime. Bank-issued CDs are also insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 per depositor, though this figure has dropped to $100,000 January 1, 2014. Credit Union-issued CDs are insured by another government agency, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which provides the same coverage as the FDIC. 

U.S Treasury Bills are sold by the government to investors as a way to fund short-term government debts. If you purchase a U.S Treasury Bill, you are basically loaning the government a certain amount of money in return for the government's promise to pay you back with a predetermined higher amount when the bill reaches maturity. U.S Treasury Bills are typically issued with maturity terms of one month, three months, six months and 1 year.

As we all know, savings accounts are offered by banks and credit unions and provide variable interest rates, which means their rates fluctuate in accordance with the Prime Rate. While there is no time requirement for a savings account, as there is with a CD, the law only allows consumers to make up to six transfers or withdrawals from a savings account per month (not including in-person ATM or branch withdrawals). Savings accounts offer the same as insurance protections as CDs.

Hope this helps you =)

A cylindrical candle that is 15 cm high has a diameter of 8 cm. Sketch
drek231 [11]

Answer:

  • See the figure attached with the sketch of the shape.
  • Volume = 0.75m³

Explanation:

The<em> sketch </em>of the <em>shape</em> is shown on the diagram attached indicating the <em>height </em>(<em>15 cm</em>), the <em>diameter</em> (<em>8cm</em>), and the radius (4cm).

The<em> volume</em> of a <em>cylindrical </em>shape is calculated with the formula:

      Volume=\pi \times radius^2\times height

The radius is half the diameter: 8cm / 2cm = 4 cm.

To express in terms of m (meters) convert the radius and the height from cm to m:

  • 15cm × 1m/100cm = 0.15m
  • 4cm × 1m/100cm = 0.04m

Substitute in the formula and compute:

        Volume=\pi \times (0.04m)^2\times (0.15m)\\ \\ Volume=0.75m^3
