Answer: b. The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers.

Explanation:

Real reciept = (Dollar amount) ×( Ending-period CPI) ÷ (Beginning-period CPI)

Here, Receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $1,515.8 million

Receipt for Star wars in 1977 = $798.0 million

CPI in 2012 = 229.6

CPI in 1977 = 606

Now, Real receipt of Star wars in 2012 = $((798.0) × (229.6) ÷ 60.6)

=$ 3023.45 ≈ Twice  of receipt for Avengers in 2012.

<em>[Twice of receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $3031.6]</em>

<em />

Hence, the correct statement is b."The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers."

dedylja [7]

Answer: $40,000

Explanation:

Hello. Your question was incomplete as it lacked the balance sheet in question. Luckily I found it and have now attached it.

The question states that the central bank has set a required reserve ratio of 10%. This means that 10% of the deposits at the bank are not to be touched so they cannot loan past 90% of the deposits.

The bank has only $60,000 remaining to loan out as they will not sell their securities.

So we will calculate how much they can loan out thus,

= 60,000 - (200,000 * 10%) to find out what amount cannot be touched

= 60,000 - 20,000

= $40,000

The maximum amount of additional loans the bank in Jamestown can undertake is $40,000.

Interviews are designed to determine if the employer feels a candidate is a good fit for the job. What benefit does an interview
Helen [10]

Explanation:

The job interview is a form of selection used by companies to select candidates for a job more effectively, because through it, the recruiter will meet the candidate in person, ask questions about issues related to his resume and his professional experiences , as well as the opportunity to analyze the way you communicate, your interests and your personality.

The advantage of the interview for the job candidate is to demonstrate your good intentions when occupying the job through an ethical, cordial posture and to have the opportunity to talk about some professional experiences that may be of interest to the employer and the company. It is also an opportunity for the candidate to clarify doubts about the responsibilities of the position and any other doubts related to the company or job function.
