Answer:

The best revision for the following sentence is:

B) We have identified a problem with our expense sheet, but we will solve it.

Explanation:

In e-mail, letters, messages, memos, and other business documents intended for a busy audience who appreciates getting the information they need quickly and easily, replacing a phrases with a word  in a formal tone, detracting from adding meaning: "we have identified" instead of: "I am sending" or "we need to inform you", keeping the sentence just as it is with certain rhythm and concise.

Otherwise in option 1. I am sending you this letter to inform you that we have experienced an unexpected surprise within our expense sheet, but we are positively certain we will solve it.

The sentence has a redundant pair:  "send" and "inform", it is “wordy,” and includes irrelevant “fillers” as "unexpected" that makes it lack of conciseness in the substantive information, not getting to the point promptly. I also includes passive voice which is not a grammatical error, but it often leads to using more words than necessary frustrating or confusing the audience; and it has prepositional phrases overuse: "that", within", "but" making this sentence clunky and unclear.

In option A) We need to inform you that we have experienced an unexpected surprise with our expense sheet, but we are midway to an end result.

The sentence has unnecessary modifiers: "unexpected" and "end", and passive voice again.

In option C) I am sending you this letter to inform you that we have a problem with our expense sheet, but we are positively certain we have a solution.

The sentence has unnecessary modifier: "positively".

What do inflation rates measure?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. The speed with which general prices are rising

Explanation:

Inflation measures the rate at which the general prices of goods and services are increasing in an economy. During inflation, the purchasing power of a country's currency is eroded.  Inflation means a selected basket of goods will cost more this period than it did in the previous season.

The consumer price index or CPI is the most acceptable index used in determining the rate of inflation. Inflation may result from high economic growth where firms and individuals have increased incomes resulting in too much money in circulation.  A moderate level of inflation is required to promote spending and sustain favorable economic growth.

On January 2, year 1, Lava, Inc. purchased a patent for a new consumer product for $90,000. At the time of purchase, the patent
Archy [21]

Answer:

The amount Lava should charge against income during year 4 is $63,000.

Explanation:

Since amortization is assumed to be recorded at the end of each year, this can be calculated as follows:

Annual amortization expense = Cost of the patent  / Patent's estimated useful life = $90,000 / 10 = $9,000

Amortization expense recorded prior to year 4 = Annual amortization expense * 3 years =  $9,000 * 3 = $27,000

Unamortized cost of patent charge against income during year 4 = Cost of the patent - Amortization expense recorded prior to year 4 = $90,000 - $27,000 = $63,000

Therefore, the amount Lava should charge against income during year 4 is $63,000.

Suppose France can produce four phones or three computers with one unit of labor, and Sweden can produce one phone or two comput
lesya [120]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

France can produce four phones or three computers:

Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (3 ÷ 4)

                                                                      = 0.75 computers

Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (4 ÷ 3)

                                                                      = 1.33 phones

Sweden can produce one phone or two computers:

Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (2 ÷ 1)

                                                                      = 2 computers

Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (1 ÷ 2)

                                                                      = 0.5 phones

Therefore,

France has a comparative advantage in producing phones because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than Sweden. France should specialize in producing phones and import computers from Sweden.

Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than France. Sweden should specialize in producing computers and import phones from France.
