Answer:

The correct answer is C) People respond to incentives.

Explanation:

People respond to incentives is the fourth principle in Economics. For this particular case, adding tax to unhealthy food is a disincentive to buy it and at the same time an incentive to buy healthy food. This happens because incentives make people act, in a positive or negative way towards a certain product, and because <em>rational people</em> use cost and benefit comparisons to buy something.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of receivables turnover ratio and average collection period for Sun Health and Select Medical is shown below:-

For Sun health

Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

= Net Sales ÷ ((Accounts Receivables at the beginning + Accounts Receivables at the end) ÷ 2)

= $3,630 ÷ (($300 + $287) ÷ 2)

= $3,630 ÷ 293.5

= 12.4 times

Average Collection Period = Number of days in a year ÷ Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio

= 365 ÷ 12.37 times

= 29.5 days

For Sun medical

Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

= Net Sales ÷ ((Accounts Receivables at the beginning + Accounts Receivables at the end) ÷ 2)

= $3,940 ÷ (($499 + $438) ÷ 2)

= $3,940 ÷ 468.5

= 8.4 times

Average Collection Period = Number of days in a year ÷ Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio

= 365 ÷ 8.41 times

= 43.4 days

Marrrta [24]

A map from trade development commissions or chamber of commerce can help identify <em>major areas of commerce and location.</em>

Explanation:

Google map helps with location of building but will not give information about the commerce aspect of the building.

But since the Trade Development Commission has exclusive responsibility to provide that, then it will be more useful to identify major areas of commerce and their locations.

Approximately how much interest will Karen owe on her credit card next month if the balance she carried over from the previous m
lord [1]

Answer:

Karen will owe an interest amount of=$36.75

Explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the total amount after a month </em>

The total amount compounded annually can be expressed as;

A=P(1+R/n)^(nt)

where;

A=total amount

P=principal amount

r=annual interest rate

n=number of periods the interest is compounded annually

t=number of years

In our case;

A=unknown

P=$2,450

r=18%=18/100=0.18

n=12

t=1/12

replacing;

A=2,450(1+0.18/12)^(12×1/12)

A=2,450(1+0.18/12)^1

A=2,450(1.015)

A=$2,486.75

<em>Step 2: Determine the interest amount after a month </em>

Interest amount=total amount-principal amount

where;

total amount=$2,486.75

principal amount=$2,450

replacing;

Interest amount=2,486.75-2,450=$36.75

The interest amount=$36.75
