Answer:
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Explanation:
The entity that would be involved in this case is the the EEOC. That is the equal employment opportunity commission. The violation that has occurred here is that both the man and the woman are equally qualified for this job but the owner wants to pay the woman a smaller salary compared to what he wants to pay the man. The EEOC handles such matters of discrimination to employees and workers based on gender, race, religion etc.
Answer:
Economist A
Explanation:
Elasticity is a measure of investment sensitivity. If the investment is elastic, a slight increase in price (interest rate) will decrease the amount of investment. Conversely, if the investment is inelastic, a change in interest rates will not considerably affect the investment rate. The calculation of elasticity consists of the change in the investment rate divided by the change in the interest rate. If the calculation of elasticity is less than 1, it is considered ineastic, while investments with elasticity above 1 are considered elastic. Thus, economist A believes that the investment rate is elastic to the interest rate, while economist B believes the opposite. So for economist A the rise in interest rates will affect the investment rate of the economy (and hence the macroeconomic environment) because in his view investment is elastic. Economist B does not believe that interest rate fluctuations will affect demand for investments.
Let:
x = amount in the account invested in 2.5%
20000 - x = amount in the account invested in 3%
Solution:
.025x + .03 (20000 - x) = 540
.025x + 600 - .03x = 540
-.005x + 600 = 540
-.005x = 540 - 600
-.005x = -60
x = 12000
Therefore, that person invests 12,000 at 2.5%
and
20,000 - 12,000 = 8,000 at 3%

Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
Autarky can be defined as a situation where a nation is self-sufficient and does not trade internationally. Consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay and the price he actually has to pay.
In the case of autarky, the consumer surplus id the area below the demand curve and above the equilibrium price. The producer surplus is the area above the supply curve and below the equilibrium price.
