Answer:

The correct answer is: Duress.

Explanation:

Illegal actions sometimes can be excused in law if the defendant pleads a duress defense. Duress is the threat of harm someone receives to influence the individual's actions typically to commit a crime. The defendant must prove that there was no reasonable opportunity to escape. The only escape under that scenario was accepting the criminal's commands.

Answer:

Duress/Coercion/Compulsion

Explanation:

Duress or Coercion or Compulsion: This type of defense involves someone else threatening to use force or violence to get you to do something against your better judgment. Essentially, it means you were forced to commit a crime. In this case, Reuben want to entangle the elderly lady into the crime of bank heist by threatening to shoot her husband.

For a defense of Duress/Coercion/Compulsion: the person must be forced to commit the offence. The person under duress (illegal coercion usually through being threatened or the use of violence) must be present when the offence is committed. The person must believe that the threat will be carried out.

True or False: A decrease in the general price level resulting from an increase in the cost of production is known as cost-push
seropon [69]

Answer: False. The General price level will only increase. It will not decrease at any cost of having cost pull inflation and the demand full inflation.

Explanation:

For every production of the single unit, the expenses incurred on the wages and the cost incurred on using raw materials  are prominently considered. The rate of demand has an inverse relationship with the increase in the cost of production. Then the price level of the products increases with the effects of Cost-push inflation.

Secondly, The rate of the demand for particular products increases beyond the equilibrium level when the output rate remains below the capacity to meet the requirements of the consumers' demand. In one particular stage, Demand-full inflation takes place which utmost leads to an increase in the price level and acts as a cause for Demand-full inflation.

Being debt free within the next 15 years is an example of which goal
marishachu [46]
I agree with the person above - being debt free within the next 15 years in an example of a long-term goal.
A short-term goal would involve hours, days, or even months. But here, we're talking about years, at least 15 of them, which is a long time during which many things can change. So it is definitely a long-term goal, given that it won't expire any time soon.

GREYUIT [131]

I guess the correct answer is the color of the decorations in the room

A group of researchers wanted to determine if people will eat more food in a room with red paint and red decorations than in a room that is decorated blue. Half the participants in this study ate in a red room and half ate in a blue room. The researchers then measured how much food was consumed in each of the two rooms. In this study, the independent variable was  the color of the decorations in the room.

It is May 18, 2017. You have a $10,000 semi-annual bond with a coupon rate of 10.375% which matures May 5, 2044. The bond is pri
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

-3.91%.

Explanation:

The Duration Adjustment (% change in bond price) is given by:

= (Duration) * (Change in yield in %)

= -(7.81) x (0.5%)

= -3.91%

The Convexity Adjustment is given by:

= 0.5 * Convexity *  (Change in yield, as a fraction)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * (0.005)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * 0.000025

= 0.001248375

= 0.0012%

Thus, the convexity correction is 0.0012%

Thus, the total change in bond price = -3.91% + 0.0012% = -3.91%.
