Answer:

  1. False
  2. True

Explanation:

1. Social security benefits are increased each year in proportion to an increase in CPI which measures inflation. This CPI is based on a market basket that most people use. If the social security benefits that the elderly get rises as the price of the basket rises then Social Security would not provide a decrease in their standard of living but would rather leave it unchanged so this answer is <u>FALSE.</u>

2. If Healthcare is said to be rising faster than inflation and elderly people consume more health care then that means that Social security benefits which are based on a inflation are not capturing the rise in living expenses for the elderly appropriately. This means that old people might be worse off. This is therefore <u>TRUE. </u>

White raven [17]
<h2>Answer : Option A) 1 foot/second</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

If we consider that the plates are placed 2 ft apart and there has to be 1800 meals that needs to be delivered in an hour.

so if we multiply 2 ft and 1800 meals that is delivered in 1 hour,we get 2 X 1800 = 3600 meals in an hour.

If we try to accommodate the plates at each ft then there will be 3600 meals delivered in 1 hour.

we know that 1 hour has 3600 seconds in it.

So, here the distance is 1 ft, and speed has to be determined time is 1 hour = 3600 seconds

3600 meals / 3600  seconds = 1 foot per second.

OR 1800 meals set at 2 ft apart in 3600 seconds will give the speed of the belt as 1 foot per second.

(1 ft = speed X 1 hour)

<h2>so, the speed also will be 1 foot per second. </h2>

mash [69]

Answer:

The net worth (owners' equity) for this business is $2.2 million

Explanation:

Net worth: It is also known as owner's equity which is a difference between total assets and total assets.

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Owner's Equity

where,

Company assets are $3.5 million

And, liabilities is $1.3 million
