Answer:

Correctly ignored a sunk cost.

Explanation:

In economics a sunk cost is one that an individual has already paid for and cannot recover. For example when payment is made for rent it is no longer recoverable.

In this instance Eric has already bought a $50 ticket that is nonrefundable, nonexchangeable, and nontransferable. This is a sunk cost.

Eric wants to go to the concert with Ginny who he wanted to date for a long time.

He will correctly ignore the sunk cost of going to the play because any more time spent on the play will not help recover the $50 already spent.

Speculative investments are high-risk investments with the possibility of high returns in a short period of time.
bixtya [17]
<span> <span>True. Risk in investment can be defined as the possibility that the investor may lose a big portion or all of the initial investment or make very high returns in a short period. Risk which is often likened to volatility dictates that the higher the volatility the higher the chances of returns. Speculative investments such as leveraged ETFs(commodities such as gold, oil, silver), options, venture capital trusts are considered high risk and often so offer handsome returns or cost the investor all or even more of their initial capital. It is however important to note that high risk does not automatically translate into high returns. The intrinsic value of the investment vehicle among other factors need to be considered in depth to determine if the investment is worth the risk</span></span>

Help me please!!!! I need your help and answer this question fully by paying attention to the question asked.
Harman [31]
Change what I write. Your teacher knows your style. 

One
People,especially teens, deal with this problem all the time. They may be poor and have to deal with clothing or even cleanliness issues. Who can afford 80 dollar designer jeans? Not everyone. Who can pay attention to makeup when you've had 3 meals in 3 days? That has to affect the way you look at the world. Even if money is not an issue, class is. There are always kids who pick on others because they can't fit in. If a person is lucky, their response is sports or something else that they excel at.  

Two
Everyone experiences stress. Money, exams, dates for important events, clothes, acceptance, parents (if you're a teen), teens (if you are a parent), using the family car responsibly can all contribute to stress. People under severe stress respond differently. Some become short tempered. Some become lethargic. Some turn to drugs which have their own set of symptoms, depending on the drug. One thing is for sure: people on drugs change dramatically. It's unmistakable. 

Four
Well this is pretty personal, especially if you've written on it before. A great coping mechanism is prayer for some people. It really doesn't matter who hears you, or what you say or how you say it. It only matters that you stay still and do it. The main thing is to try and shut yourself down while the stress is at it's highest point. Many older people are really stressed out by health. That especially requires quite times. Stop worrying is another way of coping. Most of the time worry does no good at all. Things causing stress will go away or they won't. Worry isn't going to bring things about any quicker or better.

Homeless:

10 > t^2 /320
3200 > t^2 
t < 40√2 = 56.6 
College students: 
10 – t^2 /160 > 0

1600 > t^2 
t < 40
Wait time would have to be at least 40 minutes to prevent college students from waiting.
