Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Imports have grown faster than exports, and the United States has become a net importer.

Explanation:

International trade is not just a major engine of the U.S. economy, but for the global economy. The total trade share in terms of the global Gross Domestic Product was 25% in 1960 and it has raised to 56% in 2017. Though, imports have surpassed the level of exports, making America be a net importer. Main imports are in the form of raw materials for the production of different goods mainly vehicles, and clothing.

Which statement is not correct about the business-society interdependence?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

D. Actions by governments rarely significantly affect business

Explanation:

Business-socciety interdependence points out how business activities impact society and how society impacts business decisions. Government actions play a significant role in business performance. For example, an increase in interest rate increases the cost of borrowing and acts as an investment disncentive. Likewise, an increase in corporation tax stifles the incentive to invest and reduces corporate profit. Other government interventions such as standards and regulations, minumum wage legislations, permits and licenses would not only reduce business profits but could make doing business very cumbersome. Also, the extent to which the government is committed to maintaining political stability could determine the extent to which invesmtent thrives in an economy.

At a local business school, there is a toasted submarine sandwich process that uses a conveyor-fed oven. ( See picture below) Al

dem82 [27]

Answer:

b. 20 sandwiches

c. 25 sandwiches

Explanation:

1. I added this diagram of the flow chart as an attachment

Hourly capacity of sandwich making process:

Time it makes to 1 sandwich: 2 + 12 + 1 = 15

The time alice spends when making one sandwich = 2 + 1 = 3

oven uses 12 minutes to process one sandwich, so in 12 minutes, alice can can make 12/3 sandwiches = 4

The Oven can take 5 subs at a time,

So in one hour, the making process

= 60/3 = 20 sandwiches

To calculate Hourly capacity with additional employee:

Alice takes 2 minutes

Additional employees takes 1 minute

Oven uses 12 minutes to make one sandwich

It's only after every 2 minutes Alice can put one sandwich. The oven can take only 5 sandwiches.

So in an hour:

Since oven can take 5

Sandwiches at a time, therefore one sandwich takes,

12 / 5 = 2.4 minutes.

In 1 hour number we have number of processed sandwich as

60 / 2.4 = 25

At hourly capacity with additional employees we have 25 sandwiches

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

$20,650.00

When selling shares the price at which it is sold is the ask price.

Therefore the price for buying the IBM shares= Bid price* Quantity

= 103.25 * 200= $20,650
