Answer:

C. protected property rights; were extractive and authoritarian

Explanation:

Based on the work of Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson there were different types of colonization policies which created different sets of institutions. These authors argued that the colonization path was strongly influenced by feasibility of settlements. On the one hand, tropical places where diseases were more likely and affected Europeans the most, settlers formed extractive institutions.  These institutions were not designed to protect private property or provide checks and balances against government expropriation. Their main objective was to transfer as much of the resources of the colony to the colonizer.  On the other hand, where climates were more moderate, settlers seek to replicate European institutions, emphasizing  private property and checks and balances against government power.

Answer:

The answers in the blanks would be, Systems and Information.

Explanation:

An Information System consists of people, systems(or infrastructure), and storage devices for processing and storing data. It helps gather, organize, and analyze data to generate information which helps in decision making.

So if Rachel wants to present the idea of implementing the information system to her management, she should tell them the benefits that this system would generate. This system will consists of the resources which are already present like people, hardware, software, storing devices to store data, etc and with the implementation of this system, effective information would be gathered or generated which will be used by the organization in various decision making processes.

) A health insurance will pay for a medical expense subject to a $100 deductible. Assume that the amount of the expense is expon
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Expectation = $409.365

Standard Deviation= $491.72.

Explanation:

Solution Let M be the amount of the medical expense and let X be the insurance  company’s payout. Then,

X =  {M − 100, if M > 100,

        0, if M ≤ 100,

where M is exponentially distributed with parameter 1/500. To find the expected  payment, apply the law of total expectation, giving

E(X) = E(E(X|M)) = ∫∞  0   E(X/M = m)e^−m dm

= ∫ ∞  100  E(M − 100/M = m) 1 /500e^−m/500 dm

= ∫ ∞ 100  (m − 100) 1 /500e^−m/500 dm

= 500e^−100∕500

= $409.365.

For the standard deviation, first find

E ( X²) = E ( E ( X²/M)) = ∫ ∞  0   E ( X²/M = m ) e^−m dm

= ∫ ∞  100   E (  (M − 100) ²/M = m ) 1 /500e^−m/500 dm

= ∫ ∞  100  (m − 100) ² 1 /500e^−m∕500 dm

= 500000e^−1/5 = 409365.

This gives

SD(X) = √ Var(X) = √ E(X²) − E(X)²

= √ 409365 − (409.365)²

= $491.72.

NB: ∫ ∞  100 and ∫ ∞  0 is ∫  superscript ∞ and subscript 0 or 100 as the case may be.

Also, 1 /500e^−m/500 is 1/500e raised to -m/500

At an inflation rate of 7 percent, the purchasing power of $3 would be cut in half in 10.25 years. how long to the nearest year
lyudmila [28]
The applicable formula is;
A = P(1-r)^n

Where;
A = Final purchasing power
P = Current purchasing power
r = inflation
n = Number of years when P changes to A

Confirming the first claim:
A = 1/2P (to be confirmed)
P = $3
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 10.25 years

Using the formula;
A = 3(1-0.07)^10.25 = 3(0.475) ≈ 3(0.5) = $1.5
And therefore, A = 1/2P after 10.25 years.

Now, give;
P = $9
A = 1/4P = $9/4 = $2.25
r = 6.5% = 0.065
n = ? (nearest year).

Substituting;
2.25 = 9(1-0.065)^n
2.25/9 = (1-0.065)^n
0.25 = (1-0.065)^n
ln (0.25)= n ln(1-0.065)
-1.3863 = -0.0672n
n = (-1.3863)/(-0.0672) = 20.63 years

To nearest year;
n = 21 years

Therefore, it would take approximately 21 years fro purchasing power to reduce by 4. That is, from $9 to $2.25.

Corporation makes one product. July August September October Budgeted unit sales 8,500 9,000 13,900 11,100 - The ending finished
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

$133,704

Explanation:

The budgeted required production for August is computed as follows:

Budgeted sales in units 9,000

Add desired ending inventory 5,560

(September sales of 13,900 units × 40%

= 5,560 units)

Total needs 14,560

Less beginning inventory 3,600

(August sales of 9,000 units × 40%

= 3,600 units.)

Required production 10,960

The budgeted raw material purchases for August are computed as follows:

Required production in units of finished goods 10,960

Units of raw materials needed per unit of finished goods 6

Units of raw materials needed to meet production(10,960×6) 65,760

Add desired units of ending raw materials inventory 7,688

(76,680 pounds × 10% = 7,668 pounds)

Total units of raw materials needed 73,428

Less units of beginning raw materials inventory 6,526

( 65,760 pounds × 10% = 6,576 pounds)

Units of raw materials to be purchased 66,852

The budgeted cost of raw material purchases for August is computed as follows:

Units of raw materials to be purchased (a)$66,852

Unit cost of raw materials (b)$2.00

Cost of raw materials to be purchased (a) × (b)$133,704
