Answer:

The answer is: True

Explanation:

Tax law was changed for the 2019 tax year, (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 12-22-2017), alimony is no longer tax deductible nor the recipient has to report them as income. This change in the law will be in effect from 2019 through 2025.

The only exceptions that apply are those couples who had finalized their divorce agreements before the end of 2018. Since Ted and Alice got divorced in 2016, the change doesn´t apply to them.

Suppose a firm has an annual budget of $200,000 in wages and salaries, $75,000 in materials, $30,000 in new equipment, $20,000 i
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The firm will need additional revenue of $90,000 to earn normal profit(zero economic profit)

Explanation:

Normal profit equals zero economic profit or when total revenue equals

the addition of explicit cost and Implicit cost. Implicit cost is the opportunity cost.

Explicit cost = $200,000 + $75,000 + $30,000 + $20,000 + $35,000

=$360,000

Implicit cost is $90,000

Total revenue is $360,000

Normal profit = $360,000 - ($360,000 + $90,000)

$360,000 - $450,000

-$90,000.

This means the firm will need additional revenue of $90,000 to earn normal profit(zero economic profit)

What is a power grid?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

What is a power grid?

C) Transmission lines and transformers that take and send electricity from generating facilities to end users

Explanation:

A power grid is a system of interconnected transmission lines and transformers that takes electricity from the producers to the consumers. The power grid is very important in the supply of electricity to consumers. Before power is to be transmitted to the consumers, it has to be generated. Traditionally, the conventional way of generating power was from central power stations that utilized sources like; fossil fuels, coal and natural gas. In the recent past, however, more advancements have been made towards more clean energy sources like; wind, geothermal and hydroelectricity. Clean energy sources have several benefits over the traditional sources of energy, like; they don't cause harm to the environment and also they are renewable since they can be used over and over without depletion.

Once the energy has been harnessed and converted to electricity, it needs to be transmitted. The network for transmission to the consumers is what makes up the power grid. Transmission is usually done at very high voltage to minimize losses. However, before providing it the consumers, the electricity needs to be converted to a low voltage by the use of transformers for domestic and commercial consumption.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The level of saving =  $450 billion - $400 billion= $50 billion

Marginal propensity to save = 1- marginal propensity to consume (MPC)=0.5

Expected consumption

MPC=  change in Consumption/ change in income 200 billion * 0.5 = $100billion

Therefore consumption = 100 billion + 400 billion = $500 billion

Saving = $650 billion - $500 billion=  $ 150 billion

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Did the technology push the changes in the world, or was it the other way around? What evidence is opinion based upon or how did you draw your conclusions?

In my opinion the world started to change during the 1970s when Steve Jobs introduced the personal computer. Before him, only huge corporations could afford computers since they were huge and costed millions. Since then, information technology (IT) has increased in gigantic steps and when the internet was available for public use, the world as we know it changed.

When the world was struggling again during the great recession, my hero came back and changed the way IT industry again with the iPhone and the whole app culture. I am a little over 25, and I can tell that everything was very different when I was a small kid. You actually needed to read a newspaper and use encyclopedias (very large books).

Now everything is on the web and now most of us are even working using the internet. In just seconds we know what is happening in China or any other country in the world, while before all we heard about China was that were many Chinese and they were communists. IT has enabled whole new industries that boost the economy much more than any other manufacturing business ever had. The world would be a much different place if it wasn't for the Apple I, the internet or the iPhone.
