Answer:

Clean Water Act

Explanation:

Due to the release of chemicals into a river by a paper mill company which pollutes the water for the inhabitants of the town that uses the water, the best policy to enforce would be Clean Water Act.

This act is a federal law in the United State that is charged with restoration and maintenance of the natural integrity of the country's waters from pollution or actions that damage the integrity of the waters. It provides funds to help in the improvement of polluted water for individual states.

The Clean Water Act (CWA) is the primary federal law in the United States governing water pollution. Its objective is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters; recognizing the responsibilities of the states in addressing pollution and providing assistance to states to do so, including funding for publicly owned treatment works for the improvement of wastewater treatment; and maintaining the integrity of wetlands.[2]

Under this policy, individuals or companies that are responsible for contaminating the water with pollutants are charged to court and tried. One of such case was Edward Hanousek, Jr v. United States lawsuit where during a rock removal process an equipment ruptured a pipeline and thousands of gallons were spilled into the Skagway river. The company was sued and convicted by the US government.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Representative democracy.

Explanation:

Representative democracy refers to a system where the people govern through the election of parties or representatives with decision-making rights. Representative democracy can also be seen as a collective term for a number of democratic models. Common to these, however, is that the core consists of regularly recurring elections between competing representatives. People's sovereignty is achieved by the citizens influencing the government by voting in these elections. It is by far the most widespread method of exercising authoritative and legitimate control, demanding responsibility and developing debate in modern democracies.

A firm has the following accounts and financial data for 2007:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is $302.40.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation can be done as:

To calculate firms' earning first we less cost of goods and total operating expenses from sales revenue:

= $3,060 - $1,800 - 600

= $660

Now we deduct the interest expense, then

= $660 - $126

= $534

Now we deduct tax rate, then

= $534 × $213.60    ( $534× 40%)

= $320.40

Now we finally deduct the dividends to get the firm's earning to common shareholder's, then

= $320.40 - 18

= $302.40

Hence, the firm's earning to common shareholder's is $302.40.

Stella [2.4K]
True. A monopolist does not face the same constraints as an open or free market but instead is bounded by the consumers' demand for its products. Therefore, the firm's decision about how much to supply is directly related to its demand curve because they can produce as much or as little as the consumes demand.
