Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Rachel Carson received numerous attacks by agricultural and chemical industries due to the book she wrote called -Silent Spring', where she explained the repercussions to the atmosphere and that of human health in the using pesticides.

She has been tagged as a radical and unqualified scientist whose knowledge about science is limited. She was also accused of wanting to protect the lives of all the insects that spread diseases in humans and plants.

However, if we read concerning whom Rachel Carson was and what she stood for, we’ll notice that the arguments in various quarters are completely misguided.

She was an exceptional scientist and a writer on science topics, she investigated and cautioned on how the chemicals that government spread in the farms to kill pathogens insects, are also dangerous to all living things including humans.

Some of the chemical industry representatives even in this present time still do not concur with her; they are only concerned how to produce and sell more chemicals and they don’t even worry about their environmental consequences and damage. This is reason they prefer to berate her work and researches.

Brut [27]

Explanation:

\text { Dividend, } \mathrm{D}= 4 \\\text { Dividend yield rate }=\mathrm{D} / \text { Current price }=8 % \\\text { Current price }, \mathrm{P} 0=\mathrm{D} / 8 \%=\$ 4 / 8 \%=$ 50

Which of the following sentences express correct number style?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: a. The professional software package included Web 2.0 applications, but it cost more than $1,200.

Explanation:

A simple rule for writing a correct number style is that when writing numbers between 1 - 9 ( single digits numbers), you should spell them out. When writing anything larger however or if writing multiple numbers, you should write them as numerals.

This convention can be typically broken every now and then in certain cases. One of those cases is that, if you have a situation where you have 2 numbers in a sentence, you have to use one style for it and if the 2 numbers consist of 1 small number and 1 large number you would preferably have to use numerals.

For this reason Option A which has two numbers written as numerals is correct.

It is worthy of note however, that different styles exist as do Citation Styles and this answer is based on the most rudimentary of said styles.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A heart transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces the person’s heart with a donor heart. A person may require a heart transplant for several reasons including congenital, arterial and muscle diseases or for unforeseen reasons such as accidents or viral infections.

The donor heart is matched to the recipient by blood type. More variables are also used to decide which recipient receives a heart if there are not enough hearts available for all recipients waiting for a transplant. The variables included in the decision may include the recipient state of health, cause of the heart condition and the urgency of the transplant.

The main goal of this project is for you to write a matching function that receives as a parameter the number of available hearts for transplant and will output all the recipients ranked in order of precedence.

Swift Company was organized on March 1 of the current year. After five months of start-up losses, management had expected to ear
scoundrel [369]

A new income statement for August for Swift company is shown below.

Also, since the president has asked you to check over the income statement and make a recommendation as to whether the company should look for a buyer for its assets.

My recommendation would be to not buy.

                                            Swift Company

                                         Income Statement

                               For the Month Ended August 31

Particulars                                                   Amount (in $)    Amount (in $)

Sales ..............................................................                          450,000

Cost of goods sold:

Finished goods inventory, August 1 ...............  40,000

Add: Cost of goods manufactured ................. <u>310,000 </u>

Goods available for sale ................................ 350,000

Deduct: Finished goods inventory, August 31..<u> 60,000</u>            <u> 290,000 </u>

Gross margin ..................................................                         160,000

Selling and administrative expenses .................                      <u>142,000</u>

Net operating income......................................                           18,000

Sam failed to distinguish between product costs and period costs when preparing the August income statement, and he also failed to recognize changes in inventories between the beginning and end of the month.

Once these errors are corrected, the company's financial situation looks much better, and selling the company may not be a good idea.

Hence, my recommendation would be not to buy.

Miguel, a recent​ 22-year old college​ graduate, wants to retire a millionaire. How much will he need to set aside annually to a
olga55 [171]

Answer

Miguel must set aside $62,745 annually

Explanation

N = Number of years till Miguel would retire = 43 years

FV = Future Value = $1,000,000

r = Interest rate = 10%

PMT = Annual payments (at the ending of the year) = ?? The question asks us to calculate this

We would use the future value ordinary annuity formula to calculate PMT

FV = PMT [\frac{(1+r )^{N} -1}{r} ]

1000000 = PMT [\frac{(1+0.10 )^{10} -1}{0.10} ]

PMT ≅ $62,745

Miguel must set aside $62,745 annually
