One car rental agency rents a mid dash size car at a daily rate of $36.95 plus 36 cents per mile. Another company rents a mid d

ash size car for $44.95 plus 26 cents per mile. Find the mileage for which the cost is the same. For what mileage is the cost the same?

Answer:

80 miles

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Rental of the first agency = $36.95 + 36 cents per mile

or

= $36.95 + $0.36 per mile [as $1 = 100 cents ]

Rental of the second agency = $44.95 + 26 cents per mile

or

= $44.95 + $0.26 per mile

now,

let the mileage be 'x' miles

therefore,

the cost for the first agency will be = $36.95 + ( 0.36 × x ) ............(a)

and,

the cost for the second agency will be = $44.95 + ( $0.26 × x ) ........(b)

for the equal mileage, equating (a) and (b)

$36.95 + ( 0.36 × x ) = $44.95 + ( $0.26 × x )

or

( $0.36 - $0.26 ) × x = $44.95 - $36.95

or

0.1x = 8

or

x = 80 miles

Explain at least two elements of the free enterprise system here in the U.S.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1. Private ownership of factors of production

2. Freedom to engage in commercial activities

Explanation:

<u>1. Private ownership of factors of production</u>

In the US, individuals and firms are allowed to own properties. A significant percentage of the factors of production are in the hands of the private sector. Firms and individual influences the production of goods and services because they allocate resources to meet market demand.

<u>2. Freedom to engage in commercial activities</u>

Entrepreneurs have the freedom to choose the type of business they want to start. They can also select the location and the time they want to operate. There are no upper limits to firms that can participate in the market. Consumers are free to choose their suppliers. The market presents a variety of goods and services to consumers to pick from.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?A) As the enterprise value represents the entire value of a firm before the firm pays

hammer [34]

Answer:

The false statement is letter "A": As the enterprise value represents the entire value of a firm before the firm pays its debt, to form an appropriate multiple, we divide it by a measure of earnings or cash flows after interest payments are made.

Explanation:

Indeed, the value of a firm represents its value before deducting what the company owes. Though, in order to calculate the correct multiple, specialists tend to divide the debt by a measure of income or cash flows before interest payments go through.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Expectancy theory

Explanation:

Expectancy theory - is referred to as the approach in which individual work according to the defined goal. People are motivated to act in a certain way because they believe to have expected results from the way they have selected.

It also states that desirable outcomes of any behavior hold the motivation by other people

The three main components on which Expectancy theory work are:

- Expectancy

- Instrumentality

- valence

Pressure with Two Liquids, Hg and Water. An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg, and 5.6 cm of wa

Radda [10]

Answer:

$1170839.28 dyn/cm^2$

16.9816 psia

$117.083928 kN/m^2$

Explanation:

To calculate the absolute pressure in the bottom of tube we need to sum the atmosferic and gauge pressure.

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G$

And the gauge pressure is given by the contributions of columns of water ( $P_{w}$ ) and mercury( $P_{Hg}$ ), we can calculate the contribution of each column as:

$P= \rho g h$ (*)

where $\rho$ is the respective density, g gravity and h is height.

So we have all the data required to use the above equations ( $P_{atm}$ , height and density of each column) we only need to be carefully with the units.

For simplicity we can to express all pressure contributions in mmHg ( $P_{atm}$ , $P_{w}$ and $P_{Hg}$ ). Note that the units "x" mmHg means the pressure at the bottom of a column of mercury of "x" mm high. For example, in this case we have a column 12.1 cm of Hg, that is a column of 121 mmHg (passing from cm to mm only requires multiply by 10) pressure exerted by that column is 121 mmHg.

Now pressure of 5.6 cm (56 mm) of water would be 56 mm of water, but it is not the same that mmHg, since the density of water is lower, the pressure exerted by 1 mm of water is lower than the exerted by 1 mm of Hg. The conversion between mmHg and mm of water is given by the relation between the densities.

$mmHg=\frac{\rho_w*mmH_2O}{\rho_{Hg}}$

$mmHg=\frac{0.998*mmH_2O}{13.55}=0.0737 mmH_2O$

And pressure of water in mmHg is

$0.0737*56=4.1246 mmHg$

The absolute pressure is:

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G= 756 + 121 + 4.1246 = 881.1246 mmHg = 88.11246cmHg$

To pass to dyn/cm^2 units we need to use the equation (*)

$P= \rho g h = 13.55 \frac{g}{cm^3} * 980.665 \frac{cm}{s^2} * 88.11246 cmHg = 1170839.28 \frac{g}{cm s^2} = 1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2}$

Note: We need to use cm Hg for units coherence

Now passing from dyn/ $cm^2$ to kN/ $m^2$ (or kPa) we need to consider that 1 dyn is $10^{-8}$ kN and 1 $cm^2$ is $10^{-4} m^2$ .

$1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2} * \frac{10^{-8}kN}{1 dyn}*\frac{cm^2}{10^{-4}m^2}=117.083928kN/m^2$

Now passing kN/ $m^2$ to psia. We need to consider that 1 psia is 6.89476.

$117.083928kN/m^2*\frac{1psia}{6.89476kN/m^2}=16.9816 psia$

Assume that Jack, Hal, and Sophia enter into a valid contract for the sale of the restaurant and for the covenant not to compete

Andrei [34K]

Answer: C. Reformation

Explanation: A non-compete agreement or clause is a legal binding entered into by two or more parties which restricts the parties from being in competition with the other usually through the sale of similar product. However, in the context above, since the non-compete clause has been breached by Jack, and the judge feels the time constraint in the clause was unreasonably long, The reformation process will be best to remediate the situation, which refers to the change or alteration of the terms of an existing document using the judicial process and requires the conformation of the parties involved.
