Answer: Option E

Explanation: In a free market system the prices of goods and services produced are determined by the market forces of demand and supply. This are also known as open market.

The intervention of govt. in regulating such markets is very minimal. Thus, the control in such markets stands in hands of private owners. Therefore, the private owners produce with the single aim of profit maximization in such economies.

Hence we can conclude that the right option is E.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Teenagers are more vulnerable than adults. Compared to adults they have less job experience, an employer is likely to always go for the employee with work experiences. The teenager who just entered the labor market is at a disadvantage and will have a more difficult time searching for a job than an adult with a history of work experience. In situations of economic downturns, a teenager is likely to be laid off than the adult because of the cost of investing in them for training purposes.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The business judgement rule states that if the board takes decision in good faith and in best interest of the corporation considering the information available then its decision is not to be questioned by the courts. The courts can intervene only if there is any breach of good faith, due care or loyalty.

     The above case is similar in facts with another case paramount vs time. In that case Time decided to merge with another company named Warner. Paramount also started bidding for Time but the directors of Time rejected their bid offer citing that warner merger would be more suitable for the company strategy.

Paramount then brought the case against Time in court.The court stated that the instant case was different from another case (REVLON VS MacAndrews) where Revlon was up for sale and hence it was necessary for the board to sell its assets to the highest bidder.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The present value of your windfall if the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent is $5,562

Explanation:

Amount of Prize = $3,000,000

number of year = 66 years

Discount Rate = 10%

use following formula to calculate the Present value of Lottery prize

Present Value = Future value / ( 1 + discount rate )^number of years

PV = FV / ( 1 + r )^n

PV = $3,000,000 / ( 1 + 0.10 )^66

PV = $3,000,000 x ( 1 + 0.10 )^-66

PV = $3,000,000 x ( 1.10 )^-66

PV = $5,561.65

PV = $5,562
