Answer: D
Explanation:
We are given a comparison between 'economic growth' and 'growth energy consumption' and told that the first increased and the second did not. We are also told that a certain amount of oil is being saved by energy improvements. As it is difficult to infer a likely answer in 'must or could be true' type questions, we'll go over all of the options, the Alternative approach.
A. We have no information on the relative ease of finding new sources of oil. No
B. We have no information on how to reduce oil imports. No
C. We have no information on what caused energy consumption to remain steady. No
D. This is exactly what happened so is true. This is almost certainly our answer, let's go over (Correct )
E. We have no information on the link between development of energy sources and growth. No
(D) is our answer; note that all other answers explicitly added information not in the original passage. This is what you need to watch out for in these types of questions.
Answer:
a. less than; more than
Explanation:
An oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry.
A competitive industry is when there are many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.
A Monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
An oligopoly firm can choose to cooperate with other firms in the industry or not cooperate.
If firms do not cooperate they produce more goods than if they cooperated. The quantity produced can never be as much as that of a competitive firm because the number of producers in an oligopoly is less than that in a competitive firm.
The output would be more than the quantity produced by a monopoly because the number of producers in an oligopoly is more than that in a monopoly.
I hope my answer helps you.
Answer: assuming Given the pay rate $7.0 and hours worked is 30 hours
Gross earnings = 7 x 30 = $210
Compensation insurance = 2% x $210 = $4.2
state unemployment insurance = 4% x $210 = $8.4
total deductions = 4.2 + 8.4 = $12.6
net pay = 210 - 12.6 = $197.4
Explanation:
Gross earnings = the pay rate x hours worked
Compensation insurance = 2% of gross earnings
unemployment insurance = 4% of gross earnings
total deductions = Compensation insurance+unemployment insurance
net pay = Gross earnings - otal deductions
