You think he has a good business model, so you tell him you are willing to invest as long as the expected return on the investment is at least four times the return you would have received on the Treasury bonds.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Time preferences for consumption.

Explanation:

American economists Irving Fisher (1867-1947) proposed the Time Preferences for Consumption theory that contrasts saving money to spending it today. According to the theory, people will weight the return of spending or saving money based on their expectations. It means, how much the goods an individual can purchase today are worth versus the return of the savings in the future.

Thus, in the case, <em>there is an evaluation of investing in Treasury Bonds versus investing today in a friend's business. The time preferences for consumption is applied when the individual compares the expected return of the Treasury bonds with what investing today could provide.</em>

                                                                         Depreciation          Value

Year 1     $20,000             $4,455                       $4,455            $15,545

Year 2    $20,000             $4,455                          8,910              11,090

Year 4    $20,000            $4,455                        17,820               2,180

<h3>b. Units-of-production Method:</h3>

Year          Cost         Annual Depreciation     Accumulated      Net Book

                                                                         Depreciation          Value

Year 1     $20,000             $7,128                         $7,128            $12,872

Year 2    $20,000            $5,346                         12,474               7,526

Year 3    $20,000            $3,564                        16,038               3,962

Year 4    $20,000            $1,782                         17,820               2,180

<h3>c. Double-declining-balance Method:</h3>

Year          Cost         Annual Depreciation     Accumulated      Net Book

                                                                         Depreciation          Value

Year 1     $20,000             $10,000                       $10,000         $10,000

Year 3    $20,000             $2,500                           17,500            2,500

Year 4    $20,000                $320                           17,820             2,180

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Cost of asset = $20,000

Residual value = $2,180

Depreciable amount = $17,820 ($20,000 - $2,180)

Estimated productive life = 4 years or 9,900 hours

<h3>Annual depreciation rates:</h3>

Straight-line method = $4,455 ($17,820/4)

Units-of-production Method per unit = $1.8 ($17,820/9,900)

Double-declining-balance Method rate = 50% (100/4 x 2)

Is a promise to refrain from doing an unlawful act and, therefore, is a promise that will not support a contract.
aleksley [76]

I'm a little confused on this question however, I'm 99% sure the answer is illusory promise because an illusory promise is one that does not hold any legal weight due to it possibility being a biased and non mutual agreement and it's just a verbal contract in the place of a paper contract.

Providing and seeking support from others during times of stress best illustrates
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The tend and befriend response

Explanation:

The word "tend" refers to care and look after someone while "befriend" refers to becoming friends with someone.

The tend and befriend response refers to a form of behavior in response to a threat. When under immense stress, an individual adopts a fight or flight response which is getting extremely aggressive in order to fight the situation or flees i.e tries and runs away from the situation.

The tend and befriend response has been observed to be more prominent in case of females. So when subjected to immense stress, it was observed that females spent a lot more time "tending" to their off springs which appeared vulnerable to them, serving as a mode to reduce stress while at the same time, also forming friendly bonds to seek support from others.
