Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The market for soybeans is perfectly competitive and the market for labor is perfectly competitive as well.  

The price of soybeans is fixed at $6/bushel.  

The wage rate is $30.  

A farmer hires eight workers.  

The marginal product of the eighth worker is 7 bushels.  

The marginal revenue product of the eighth worker is

= MP\times Price

= 7\times6

=$42

We see that the wage rate is lower than the marginal revenue product. So the farmer should increase employment till the wage rate and marginal revenue product become equal.

bazaltina [42]

Correct/Complete Question:

During a routine physical examination on an older female client, a nurse notes that the client is 5 feet, 3/8 inches (1.6 m) tall. The client states, "How is that possible? I was always 5 feet and 1/2? (1.7 m) tall." Which statement is the best response by the nurse?

a. "After age 40, height may show a gradual decrease as a result of spinal compression"

b. "After menopause, the body's bone density declines, resulting in a gradual loss of height."

c. "There may be some slight discrepancy between the measuring tools used."

d. "The posture begins to stoop after middle age."

Answer:

B, "After menopause, the body's density declines, resulting in a gradual loss of height."

Explanation:

The above statement in the answer section is the only response that answers the client's questions. This is because the statement answers properly, the question of why she has lost some inches in height.

Other options do not answer her question because the client records doesn't show spinal compression or any faults in measuring tools before that time.

i hope this helps.

The ________ created a multimember executive, whereas the ________ created a one-person executive
4vir4ik [10]
<span>The looser interpretation of the law created a multimember executive whereas the strict interpretation created a one-person executive. This filling in of the blanks creates an appropriate and meaningful sentence. Laws may be open to various interpretations. If "person" was thought to be a singular physical person, that would give rise to a strict interpretation for the purposes of the law and a "one-person executive". Operational definitions are important, and "person" could be interpreted as an "entity" or a "collective" in which case the looser interpretation of a law would be at play to create the "multi-member executive".</span>

melomori [17]

Answer:

The multiple choices are

a.  $240,000

b. $228,000

c. $216,600

d.$205,770

e. $0

The correct option is E,$0

Explanation:

The funding required from equity is 40% of the projected capital budget of $2000,000 which is expected to be from the profit attributable to stockholders since new issue of shares is not contemplated.

In other words, dividends payable to shareholders is the net income less their counter funding of the project which is computed below:

residual dividends=net income-(equity%*capital outlay)

residual dividends=$300,000-(40%*$2000,000)

                               =$300,000-$800,000=$0

In essence the $300,000 is not even enough as funds expected from equity less alone paying excess as dividend
