Answer:
D) a society's wants exceeding its scarce resources.
Explanation:
All resources are scarce, starting with time, money, materials, everything. Even the richest person or corporation in the world, has a limited amount of money (it may be huge, but it is still limited). There is not enough to satisfy the needs of society, not enough food, money, cars, clothes, phones, TVs, space, etc.
There are some things that seem to be unlimited though, and those are our needs, wants and desires. One of humankind's greatest defects is that there is no balance (or enough) in our lives, we always want more and more. That is why we are killing our own world and justify it by saying that our lives are getting better.
Answer:
c) Rick has an external locus of control.
Explanation:
What can challenge Rick in his quest to become a successful entrepreneur is that he has an external locus of control, which occurs when an individual relates events related to their failures or successes to external variables that are not their responsibility, such as fate, luck or bad luck.
The external locus of control can pose a challenge for Rick in the sense that an entrepreneur's success is related to his own personal control and personal efforts to make the business viable and successful in the market. It is necessary for the entrepreneur to understand that there are risks inherent to the business and that a business can work according to their efforts, learning and planning, that is, the entrepreneur and their control and management actions will be responsible for the success or failure of the business, and not just external factors like fate or bad luck.
Answer:
real rate of return = 4.77%
Explanation:
you purchased the bond at $810 with 14 years to maturity
now, 1 year later the bond's price is:
- PV of coupon payment = $1,000 / 1.11¹³ = $257.51
- PV of coupon payments = $80 x 6.7499 (PV annuity factor, 11%, 13 periods) = $539.99
market value = $797.50
total nominal returns = $80 (coupon payment) + ($797.50 - $810) = $67.50
the real rate of return = {[1 + ($67.50/$810)] / (1 + 3.4%)} - 1 = 4.77%
Income $42,500
Less:
Deductions <u> 0</u>
Taxable Income $42,500
Tax rate <u> x 10%</u>
Tax payable $4,250
Bear in mind that since the problem is silent, I have assumed that deductions based on marital status, exemptions, PERS or TIAA/CREF retirement contributions are all equivalent to zero (0).
