Answer:

c. $40,000

Hatshy [7]

In this report, there are three variables being mentioned. These are:

1st variable = 19 minutes

2nd variable = 7 jumps

3rd variable = 79%

 

In this problem, I believe what we are asked to do is to identify the type of variable the 2nd variable is. We are given that the 2nd variable is “7 jumps”.  This means that the 2nd variable is quantitative because it refers to or relating to a measurement of something rather than the quality. We also know that jumps can only take whole numbers, not decimal. Therefore it is also discrete. Hence, the 2nd variable is:

Oliga [24]

Answer:

illegal

Explanation:

According to my research on the rules or regulations that a corporation must follow, it can be said that based on the information provided within the question what was done is illegal. Based on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act every entity titled as a corporation is required by law to have an audit committee. Since one was not created for the Ruis Corporation it is technically an illegal corporation.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

A free trade area

Explanation:

A free trade area comes to existence when two or more countries sign an agreement that eliminates or reduces trade barriers among themselves. Usually, nations in the same region sign a free trade agreement that encourages economic cooperation.  In a free-trade area, goods and services can move from one country to another with minimal or no government interference in terms of tariffs, embargo, quotas, or other prohibitions.

The four South American countries have formed a free trade area. They have agreed to economic cooperation that allows free flow of trade among the nations. The countries have established a trading block that will spur economic growth in each of them.

Efficiency wage theory was first postulated by Alfred Marshall, where he viewed compensation to workers as based on their efficiency.
