Answer: A

Explanation:

Coverage C is the one of the Institute Marine Cargo Clauses and it is also referred to as a "named perils policy". It lists risks that will be covered and the list is limited to stranding, fire, collision, jettison and sinking. It does not include damages from rough weather, water damages, washing overboard and losses while loading and unloading.

Coverage C is insufficient for containerized goods, except goods that will not be affected by an international journey and, there won't be a major loss if lost overboard. Coverage C fits bulk cargo, as a loss is unlikely unless the ship has a major damage.

6. On February 1, Ann sends Bob a letter offering to employ Bob at Ann’s auto dealership. On February 5, Bob mails Ann a letter

Radda [10]

Answer: A Contract was formed on February 5th

Explanation:

The contract was formed the very day that Bob mailed Ann his acceptance which was on the 5th of February.

Ann attempted to revoke the acceptance too late as she did it a day after he had emailed his acceptance even though she only received it on the 7th.

The date she received the acceptance is of no consequence because this falls under the Posting Rule. This rule in Common Law countries essentially states an agreement is made as soon as the letter is posted even if it never gets to it's destination.

How can a country gain from specialization and trade? A. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has an absolut

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.

For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per Comparative Advantage concept.

Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per Comparative Advantage model.

Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.

In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory.

It is to be noted that Absolute Advantage model of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the Comparative Advantage Model developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.

The following selected amounts are available for Waterway Company: Retained Earnings (beginning balance) $1,050 Net loss 150 Cas

never [62]

Answer:

Ending retained earnings balance is 700.

Explanation:

In order to find the ending retained earnings we will have to start from the beginning retained earnings. The beginning retained earnings are 1050. Because the company has a net loss of 150 we will subtract 150 from 1050. And we are left with 900. After this we will subtract the 100 cash dividends as these are also paid from the retained earnings that the company has so we are left with 800. Also the company pays a stock dividend worth 100 so we will also subtract that and are left with 700. So the ending retained earnings balance is 700.

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$7,500 was invested in the account that gained 15%, while $14,500 was invested in the account that lost 7%.

Explanation:

Given that Fatuma invests a total of $ 22,000 in two accounts, and the first account earned a rate of return of 15% after a year while the second account suffered a 7% loss in the same time period, and at the end of one year the total amount of money gained was $ 110.00, to determine how much was invested into each account, the following calculation must be performed:

11,000 x 0.15 - 11,000 x 0.07 = 880

5,000 x 0.15 - 17,000 x 0.07 = -440

8,000 x 0.15 - 14,000 x 0.07 = 220

7,000 x 0.15 - 15,000 x 0.07 = 0

7,500 x 0.15 - 14,500 x 0.07 = 110

Therefore, $ 7,500 was invested in the account that gained 15%, while $ 14,500 was invested in the account that lost 7%.
