Answer: Discount rates are used to determine today's value of money paid or received at some future time.

This calculation is used in the cost-benefit analysis in order to place all economic flows of a project that occur at different points in time into a single year currency so that costs and benefits can be compared.

The rates used are typically around 10%, but try to analyze them with other rates between 5% and 15% to determine if the viability of the project is sensitive to the discount rate. It is  defined by World Bank or the government of the country concerned.

Brian is four years old. He loves to watch cartoons, especially those about superheroes. His dad was also a big fan of watching
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Play stage

Explanation:

George Mead was a sociologist and a psychologist who develop a theory on how the mind and psyche develop by the interaction with other people.

Mead believed that the self develops through a three-stage role-taking process. These three stages are:

  1. preparatory stage
  2. play stage,
  3. game stage.

In the preparatory stage (usually from the moment we are born until we are 2 years old) children <u>mimic</u> what they see happening around them.

In the play stage (age 2-6), children play but they don't adhere to the rules, they make their own rules for the different games they play, this means they create rules as they play. One other characteristic of this stage is that they play representing specific people (by example, by playing to be the mom they are actually representing their mom)

In the game stage (from 7 years), children start adhering to the rules. They can also play role games but the role they play is more general (if they play as if they were a mom, they are not representing their actual mom but the concept of "being a mom" they should have by now).

In this example, Brian is <u>4 years old and likes to put on his cape when he's watching Superman and pretend to be saving the world.</u> First of all, we notice that, <em>because of his age, he should be in the play stage</em>.

But also, by pretending to be saving the world just as Superman would do we can see that<u> the role playing he is representing refers to ONE individual in particular (in this case Superman). </u>Thus he is in the play stage.

Imagine a country with an ethnically heterogeneous population. The different ethnic groups are geographically clustered so that
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

D. incongruent and asymmetric federal system.

Explanation:

There is incongruous federalism when the overall population of the administrative units varies between the units and the nation as a whole. Asymmetric federalism occurs because certain administrative entities have more comprehensive powers in relation to the central government. It is contrary to symmetrical federalism, in which there is no differentiation between constituent parts. As a consequence, it is often suggested as a response to the discontent that occurs as a consequence of cultural and ethnic disparity, when one or two constituent units have substantially different populations.

How do you determine truth? What is truth? Does truth evolve? What's one thing you know for sure?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Truth tends to lead to successful action. In that much, truth has instrumental value. But truth also has intrinsic value. Given the choice between a life of limitless pleasure as a brain in a vat and a genuine human life along with all its pain and suffering, most people option for  latter.We know something is true if it is in accordance with measurable reality. But just five hundred years ago, this seemingly self-evident premise was not common thinking. Instead, for much of recorded history, truth was rooted in scholasticism. We knew something was true because great thinkers and authorities said it was true.Truth is evolving but temporal smoothness is observed, and 2) source reliability changes, which differs from the assumption held by truth discovery approaches applied to  settings.

What was significant in having the approval of nine states, rather than all 13, to bring the Constitution into being?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A unanimous vote of the states was necessary to change the Articles of Confederation.

Explanation:

Ratification is the official way to confirm something, usually by vote. It is the formal validation of a proposed law.

The ratification process started when the Congress turned the Constitution over to the state legislatures for consideration through specially elected state conventions of the people.

As dictated by Article VII, the document would not become binding until it was ratified by nine of the 13 states.
