Answer:

Amount overpaid = $0.0104 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Quantity of apple = 5 lb

Amount paid = $ 1.99 / lb

Gravity on mountain = 9.79 m/s²

Find:

Amount overpaid

Computation:

Actual mass of apple = 5 (9.79/9.80)

Actual mass of apple = 4.9948

Actual amount = 4.9948 × 1.99

Actual amount = $9.9396

Amount overpaid = Amount paid -Actual amount

Amount overpaid = [5 x 1.99] - $9.9396

Amount overpaid = $0.0104 (Approx)

In 3-4 sentences describe how economic liberty helps water the "money tree" in a free enterprise.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

It helps giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business

Explanation:

Vic, using the money tree metaphor is awesome in order to explain. Think about your free enterprise (let’s say… a store that sells trees!).

What you need in order to start and run a business? A place to sell those trees, employees, products, infrastructure, etc., and capital to fund all that. All that business plans and models that you will develop in order to have a successful business will require that you make economic decisions, actions. And, in order to make those decisions, you need economic liberty, which is exactly the ability one has to make economic decisions without political, economic or social blocks.

Imagine that in your region you can only sell trees with red leaves, or your trees are taxed much more than trees coming from overseas, or that employment law requires that no employee gets near a plant (who knows, it could be to prevent allergic season!). That would make super hard to develop your business right?

That’s how economic liberty could help you grow your money tree; into giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business.

Explanation:

Saying that Risk and Return go hand in hand, tells us that you <u>can afford to take additional risk </u> as the length of the investment horizon <u>increases</u>. Increasing the length of the investment horizon increases the ability to take on additional risk because in the long run the investment pays off while it may be choppy in the short time horizon.
