Answer:

Since the requirements were missing, I looked for similar questions:

(a) Liquidity ratio for individuals

basic liquidity ratio = cash (liquid) assets / monthly expenses = $16,000 / $7,000 = 2.29

Depending on the maturity of the investment assets, the liquidity ratio could increase, but since the information is limited, we can only consider liquid assets. E.g. if the investment assets include bonds that mature in a very short term they should be included in this formula, but if they include bonds that mature in x number of years, then they aren't included.

(b) Debt-to-asset ratio :

generally the formula is debt to asset ratio = $175,400 / $326,000 = 0.54

debt service to income ratio = monthly payments / gross income = ($450 + $2,200) / $13,000 = $2,650 / $13,000 = 0.20

(d) Debt payments-to-disposable income ratio

debt payments to disposable income ratio = monthly payments / disposable income = ($450 + $2,400) / $6,000 = $2,650 / $6,000 = 0.44

erik [133]

Answer:

b. The cable commercial

Explanation:

CPM or cost per mille is a measure used in advertising to determine how effectively a promotional message is getting to its audience. It is the cost of getting an advert in front of 1,000 people.

In this scenario when we calculate CPM for the radio station

$600 = 10,250 listeners

x= 1,000 listeners

Cross multiply

x= (600 * 1,000) ÷ 10,250 = $58.54

For the local cable commercial

$1000 = 18,500 viewers

y = 1,000 viewers

Cross multiply

y= (1,000 * 1,000) ÷ 18,500= $54.05

Scrat [10]

Answer:

A. Wait for real-world events to confirm or refute the hypothesis.

B. Conduct one or more experiments.

Explanation:

Hypothesis by economists can lead to results that can decide economic policy. As such, it is important that they are tried and tested.

One way of testing a hypothesis is the standard method of conducting one of more experiments. These experiments will simulate world settings so that the experiment can be as close as possible to the real world.

Another method is to experience the hypothesis. The economist could just wait for events in the real world to either confirm or deny the hypothesis because the economy is dynamic and has been known to react uniquely to events that it otherwise should not have reacted to. It is therefore likely that it might react in a certain way that will enable the economist test their hypothesis.
