Solution:  
Let the amount invested in scheme which yields 9% be x and amount invested in scheme which yields 13% be y.  
x + y = 180000 --equation 1 
0.09x + 0.13y = 18000 --equation 2  
Balancing the equations, multiply equation 1 with 0.09 and equation 2 with 1,  
0.09x + 0.09y = 16200 -equation 3
 0.09x + 0.13y = 18000 --equation4  
Subtracting equation 4 from 3, 
 -0.04y = -1800  
y = 45000 
 Now putting value of y in equation 1, 
 x + 45000 = 180000 
 x = 135000 
 The amount to be invested in scheme which yields 9% = $135,000
 The amount to be invested in scheme which yields 13% = $45,000

guapka [62]

Answer:

 This is true because babies still have no conscience to choose what kind of products they want to buy. In this case, the target would be the parents who want to offer their children quality toys at a price that is consistent with the market. So the technique would be to sell the product for the qualities that are beneficial for the baby and at the same time flashy, so that the parents make the purchase decision.

Match the following:
asambeis [7]

Explanation:

1. If butter complements margarine for instance, and there occurs a sudden increase in the price of butter leading to lower demand, this would affect the demand for margarine negatively leading to a fall in the demand for margarine.

2. If this goods are substitutes the demand for butter will increase when the price of margarine rises.

This is because it is only natural for people to switch to the next best alternative (substitute) that fills the same purpose or needs.

3. Remember Ice cream and ice cream cones complementary goods; meaning the demand for one increases the demand for the other and vice versa.

4. If the price of ice cream increases, demand would also decrease for ice cream as consumers are usually sensitive to price.

This decrease in the demand for ice cream would also affect ice cream cones since they complement each other, leading to a decrease in the demand for ice cream cones.

Karen and Ethan execute the same roles and responsibilities at their organization. However, Ethan earns more than Karen. Under t
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The answer is B. Ethan has more experience than Karen.

Explanation:

Now, lets take each Answer option separately and see why only B is correct.

Option A is no longer legally accepted or ethical. Perhaps during the era of segregation back in 1960s' this option could have been acceptable. But today it is illegal and is considered as a violation of basic human rights.

Option C is not correct as well because although people with special needs and physical requirements are entitled to receive certain special treatments, paying them more solely based on their disability is not considered suitable nor ethical.

Option D is unacceptable. No one can assume that men have more stamina than women. There are competent, strong and qualified women who can do their jobs much better than men. So we cannot accept this as an answer.

Option E is incorrect as well. Although a person could be an immigrant, once that person has lawfully taken the citizenship of a country, that "immigrant" is considered as a "citizen" of that country (this is not applicable for illegal immigrants!).

However, we can take option B as the answer. This is because when comparing a new employee with a more experienced employee, we can't see any problem in paying the experienced employee more.

A theory asserts that consumers will purchase less of a good at higher prices than they will at lower prices.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

b. It is likely that variables other than the price and quantity of cars demanded were

changing.

Explanation:

The law of demand states that the higher the price of a good, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price of a good, the higher the quantity demanded.

If price of cars was increasing and the quantity demanded also was increasing, it indicates other variables were changing. For example, if income was increasing at the time, the demand for cars would increase if cars are normal goods.
