Answer:

See explanation below for answer.

Explanation:

In the case of the United States debt to China, the bank in this case is China because, following the analogy in the question, the person entity that lends money to another is the "bank".

As of December 2019, the United States debt to China stood at $1.07 trillion.

This therefore goes to further buttress the point of China being the bank in the case of them lending money to the United States of America.

Answer:

a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Explanation:

If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that  the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.

However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.

In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009

D.

Explanation:

Marginal Utility puts a numerical value on the amount of satisfaction that a consumer gets from buying an additional unit of a product or service. Therefore based on this information it can be said that the information provided in the question indicates that in order to maximize utility, Ellie should buy more of Alpha and less of Beta, mainly due to the fact that the marginal cost of Alpha is double that of Beta and both cost the same price.
