Answer:

B. Acquisitions and new product development.

Explanation:

Companies can obtain new products when they acquire other companies. In the process of acquiring another business outfit or organization, a company can obtain new products.

Consider a situation where Toyota acquires the company that manufactures Mercedes; in this case Toyota would also acquire the products that Toyota are known for to their range of products too simply by buying the company - Mercedes.

Again, a company can obtain new products during product development. In this case, a company that was producing a particular product or is known for the production of certain products can also decide to start developing and producing new products.

This is certainly not the same as product modification where organizations simply modify the products that they were formerly producing to enhance customer satisfaction. In new product development, companies start afresh to make or manufacture new products that they weren't formerly known for producing.

A $10,000 municipal bond with 10 years to maturity is purchased in the primary market at 105. The bond is sold after 2 years at
Mama L [17]

Answer: B. a 2 point capital gain

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds have to be amortized using the straight-line method and this applied to both newly issued or bonds being traded at a premium.

The bond in question is trading at 105 and so has a 5 point premium which needs to be amortized at 1 point a year for 5 years. As it was bought after two years, the amortization was 2 points which means the cost of the bond should be;

105 - 2 = 103

Yet it was sold for 105. The gain is therefore

= 105 - 103

= 2 point capital gain

How are jobs affected by supply and demand ?Explain how changes in supply and demand couple impact employment and jobs?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Please see explanation below

Explanation:

a. Just as supply and demand affects any other market, so does it affects jobs too. Take for instance if additional workers are added to the existing workforce while the demand for jobs remains the same; it means that employers would likely pay less which will bring about drop in income to employees hence causes less job stability. On the other hand, if there is an increase in demand for jobs while supply remains the same; then employers will be willing to pay more thereby resulting in higher income for few who are employed hence bring about job stability.

b. Change in demand refers to either an increase or decrease in demand for a particular good or service due to changes in consumer tastes, income level, population, price of substitutes etc; while change in supply is when suppliers decided to either increase or decrease their production or output due to changes in technology, process automation, change in the number of competitors in the market, taxes, production costs etc.

An increase in demand for certain goods or services would necessitate an increase in supply for such goods hence create avenue for producers or manufacturers to employ more people to produce them. Also, a decrease in demand for certain goods or services would result in less goods being produced hence lesser people getting employed to produce such goods.

On the other hand, when producers embraces new technology or process automation , the possibility of producing more goods will be higher while such would result in job losses.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The correct answer are:

1. Daniel Shays; 2. George Washington; 3. Alexander Hamilton; 4. Thomas Jefferson; 5. Columbus; 6. Francis Scott Key; 7. Andrew Jackson; 8. Lewis and Clark.

Explanation:

The American Revolution shook the entire world. The thirteen British colonies that would become the United States of America, fought and won the battle against the most powerful imperial power on the planet. In the years that followed the American victory over the British, the hopes of the masses were betrayed. Consequently, there were many popular movements and uprisings. But none had such a great impact on the psychology of the ruling class and the future structure of the US government as the Shays Rebellion of 1786-87, which some have called "The Final Battle of the American Revolution."

Considered the "Father of the Fatherland," George Washington was a celebrated general, farmer, entrepreneur and the first president of the United States.

Alexander Hamilton was an American politician. He was a young lawyer from New York when the War of Independence broke out in the thirteen British colonies of North America (1775-83). In 1777 he became secretary of George Washington, commander in chief of the insurgent army.
