Answer:

b. is protected from defamation liability under the opinion/analysis quasi-privilege.

Explanation:

Opinion/analysis privilege gives freedom of speech under the United States First Amendment.

The author is not making an exact statement that James Jackson has robbed a particular amount, using a particular means.

So his statements can be seen as his own opinion based on the $8 billion write-down that Jackson posted.

You just purchased an existing business that produces solar panels according to the following production function:
frez [133]

Answer:

<u>$50</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the production function, Q = K0.5L0.5,

K denotes the fixed input in the short run.

First, we calculate the total cost:

Cost of Capital= 25 x $1 = $25

Cost of Labor (for a start 25 workers are used)= 25 x $1 = $25

Total= $50

Since the price of the solar panels is $100, substrating from the total cost $50 (100-50) we get $50 profit per unit of solar panel.

Answer:

Legal and environmental.

Explanation:

PEST is a short form for political, economic, social, and technological factors. These are external factors likely to impact business performance. Entrepreneurs should analyze, understand them, and include their effects in business plans.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The second project should be chosen. Because the present value of the second project is greater than that of the first project.

Explanation:

The project that should be chosen can be determined by comparing the present value of both projects.

Present value is the cash flows from a project discounted at the discount rate.

Present value can be found using a financial calculator;

For project 1,

Cash flow each year from year one to six is  $52,000

Discount rate = 15%

Present value =$196,793.10

For project 2,

Cash flow each year from year one to eight is  $48,000

Discount rate = 15%

Present value =$215,391.43

The second project would be chosen because its present value is greater than that of the first project.
