Answer:
Desertification
Explanation:
Drought and leaching leave some parts of Africa without much water, which leads to some portions of the area to turn into a desert, which can prove disastrous for the plants and animals that now find themselves in a completely different habitat.
Answer: Risk free rate = 1.9%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset Pricing Model allows for the calculation of the required return using the market return, beta and risk free rate.
Required return = Risk free rate + Beta * ( Market return - Risk free rate)
First find the market rate. Stock Y is uniquely positioned to help with that:
12.4% = Risk free rate + 1.0 * (Market return - Risk free rate)
12.4% = rf + Market return - rf
Market return = 12.4%
Apply this to the formula using Stock Z:
8.2% = rf + 0.6 * (12.4% - rf)
8.2% = rf + 7.44% - 0.6rf
rf - 0.6rf = 8.2% - 7.44%
0.4rf = 0.76%
rf = 0.76% / 0.4
Risk free rate = 1.9%
1974 - United States v. Nixon
This decision established that executive privilege is neither absolute nor unqualified.
Situation: President Richard Nixon's taped conversations from 1971 onward were the object of subpoenas by both the special prosecutor and those under indictment in the Watergate scandal. The president claimed immunity from subpoena under executive privilege.
The Court decided against Nixon 8-0.
Historical significance:
The president is not above the law. After the Court ruled on July 24, 1974, Richard Nixon resigned
With the ocean providing over half the oxygen we breathe and being a major source of food for the world’s population, there is a critical need for action and we all have the ability to make change.
Each year, at least eight million tonnes of plastics flow into the ocean — which is equivalent to dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute. If no action is taken, this is expected to increase to two per minute by 2030 and four per minute by 2050.
It’s sad to look at this picture and NOT look at how hurt sea animals are being hurt, how this WILL affect us in the near future, maybe even affecting us right now and we are too blind to notice. It’s painful to think of these things because sooo much is being lost. I hope people can open there eyes and realize the damage they are causing.
