Answer: Composition
Explanation:
The company owes $150,000 and would pay $0.50 on every dollar immediately.
The cash payment required of the company would therefore be:
= Amount of debt in $ - Amount to be paid per dollar.
= 150,000 * 0.5
= $75,000
Timing of payment is immediately.
A composition refers to an agreement between a debt and its creditors that would allow it to pay off part of its debt in lieu of the total value. This is usually done when the debt risks being insolvent or bankrupt but can still pay off part of its debt.
The agreement would enable it pay off some of the debt and the entire debt would be written off. The benefit to the debtor is that they avoid bankruptcy and the benefit to the creditor is that they get more than they would have gotten had bankruptcy been declared.
A composition is what happened here as a part of debt was paid to satisfy the full thing.

Profit can be found by subtracting revenues from expenses. This is because revenue is the total money made, and expenses are the costs associated with making that revenue. By subtracting the expenses from the revenue, you get the difference of what you actually made.

Answer:
Vicarious consumption refers to showing a family's (or individual) social status through the things that they purchase, i.e. keeping up with the Joneses.
Advertising links the desire to be socially recognized and accepted with the possession of material goods. This is exactly what vicarious consumption is all about. E.g. if most of your classmates use expensive Nike shoes, you will feel different if you wear cheap shoes. If you add this feeling of being different plus Nike ads reinforcing that feeling, then you will at least consider buying Nike shoes, or whichever brand is popular among your friends.
The same thing applies to your parents, e.g. if your parents' friends all buy large SUVs, then your parents will feel different if they buy a sedan even if they would be happy with it. Again, advertisement plays an important role here because it shows SUVs as the appropriate cars for successful families (and the larger the SUV, the more successful you are).
