Answer:

Option A. Adrian and Fran will have limited liability, meaning they might lose their investments in Best Techs but will not lose their personal assets.

Explanation:

The reason is that the organization which is a limited company is responsible for the employee's negligence and as a result the compensation for the negligence would be paid by the company then the Adrian and Fran's investment in that company is affected by the compensation that the company would pay, not their personal assets. The shareholders are not liable for the negligence of the employee but the company is. Hence the maximum loss to the shareholders  Adrian and Fran would be the investment in the company and assets other than this investment will have no impact of this compensation.

So the option A is the correct option.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

return on preferred stock (rp) = Dividend/ Current price

rate of return  = 5.5% or 0.055 as a decimal

Dividend amount = dividend rate * par value ;

Dividend amount = 4.5% * 1000 = $45

Current price = ?

Next, plug the numbers to the formula above to find Price;

Price = 45/ 0.055

Price = $818.18

82) At the current price of $2, how much does the firm want to produce?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

84) The equilibrium is the only price where quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied. At a price above equilibrium, like 1.8 dollars, quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded, so there is excess supply.

85) The equilibrium price and quantity are where the two curves intersect. The equilibrium point shows the price point where the quantity that the producers are willing to supply equals the quantity that the consumers are willing to purchase. This is the ideal quantity to supply

86) The existence of economic profits attracts entry, economic losses lead to exit, and in long-run equilibrium, firms in a perfectly competitive industry will earn zero economic profit.

87) The industry is in long-run equilibrium when a price is reached at which all firms are in equilibrium (producing at the minimum point of their LAC curve and making just normal profits). Under these conditions there is no further entry or exit of firms in the industry, given the technology and factor prices.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

$20 loss

Karen Smith bought a coca-cola stock for $475 in March 31, 20X1

She received a non taxable distribution of $155 on November 15, 20X1

Karen sold the stock for $300 on December 22, 20X1

Therefore, her gain or loss on the sale can be calculated as follows

= $300-$320

= $20 loss

Hence Karen has a loss of $20 on the sale

In an attempt to reduce poaching of elephant tusks for ivory, officials in Kenya burned illegally gathered ivory. Economists ten
Brut [27]

Answer:

b. the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

Poaching can be defined as an illegal or illegitimate procurement (purchase) of protected wildlife living organisms such as elephants, fish, trees, gaming, etc.

In an attempt to reduce poaching of elephant tusks for ivory, officials in Kenya burned illegally gathered ivory. Economists tend to point out that the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching in accordance with the law of supply.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.
