Answer and explanation:

<em>The position of the student is correct</em>. Financial intermediaries are entities participating in a financial transaction that function as a bridge. A financial intermediary helps lenders contact creditors and buyers meet with sellers. In fact, the parties on either side of the transaction do not need to meet at all, thanks to the financial intermediary. Eventually, depositors earn a profit by the interest of the money stored in the financial intermediary.  

The situation explained above is not the same when talking about insurances. Insureds pay a monthly fee for having a policy that provides them with coverage according to the insurance. If the insurance was never used, the money paid by the insured is not given back.

40 1 60

Answer:

Assuming that Alpha and Beta are the only two nations in the world, at the equilibrium world price:

Beta will export steel and Alpha will import steel.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Domestic and World Market for Steel

Alpha                   Beta           World Market

Qs    P      Qd       Qs    P      Qd       Qs    P       Qd  

60    5        10       80    5       20      140    5       30

40    4       20       70    4       30       110     4       50

30    3       30       60    3       40       90     3       70

25   2.50  35       55    2.50  45       80    2.50  80

20   2       40       50    2       50        70    2       90

10   1       50        40    1        60       50     1       110

b) In the world market, equilibrium will occur at a price of $2.50, when the quantity supplied and demanded will be 80.  At this equilibrium price of $2.50, Alpha will supply 25 units, and Beta will supply 55 units.  Alpha will demand 35 units, and Beta will demand 45 units.  This implies that Beta will supply more than its demand for steel, while Alpha will supply less.  Therefore, Beta will export steel and Alpha will import steel.

In 2009, Mississippi Valley Silica Company was ordered to pay a plaintiff $9 million because the court ruled that it sold sand t
andriy [413]

Answer:

The $9 million recovery is an example of <u>Civil Law</u>.

Explanation:

We know that civil law is a body of rules that defines and protects the private rights of citizens. It also offers legal remedies that may be sought in a dispute, and covers areas of law such as contracts, torts, property and family law.

It deals with behavior that constitutes an injury to a person or other private party, such as a corporation.

Since workers rights are violated as they using the sand on a regular basis would expose a worker to a form of cancer, and Mississippi Valley did not alert those who bought the sand about the risk.

Therefore, the $9 million recovery is an example of <u>Civil Law</u>.

Sunshield is a company that manufactures bottles of sunscreen. Below is basic information related to Sunshield's 2019 operations
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Complete the following statements: <u>THEORETICAL CAPACITY</u> would result in the largest production volume variance; <u>NONE OF THE CAPACITY CHOICES</u> would result in a favorable production volume variance.

a. theoretical capacity; none of the capacity choices

Explanation:

production volume variance = (actual unit quantity manufactured - budgeted unit quantity manufactured) x budgeted cost per unit

(actual production - theoretical capacity) x budgeted cost per unit = (250,000 - 275,000) x budgeted cost = 25,000 x budgeted cost

None of the capacity choices would result in a favorable variance because actual production was lower than all of them.

actual production 250,000 < theoretical 275,000

actual production 250,000 < practical 265,000

actual production 250,000 < normal 260,000

1. Calculate owners’ equity. Pasta Enterprises has $42,000 in cash, $20,000 in inventory, $17,000 balance due to creditors, and
mash [69]

Answer:

The amount of owners’ equity is $66,000

Explanation:

Basing on the balance sheet equation:

Assests = Liabilities + Owners’ equity

Therefore:

Owners’ equity = Assests - Liabilities

Pasta Enterprises has $42,000 in cash, $20,000 in inventory, and $21,000 balance due from customers.

Assests = Cash + Inventory + Balance due from customers = $42,000 + $20,000 + $21,000 = $83,000

Liabilities = Balance due to creditors = $17,000

Owners’ equity = $83,000 - $17,000 = $66,000

Which Of the following examples below, which is not an example of scarcity?

The puppy mill that was shut down is not an example of scarcity. Scarcity means "lacking" whether of time, money, or resources. The puppy mill doesn't create scarcity, in fact it created a surplus of dogs available for adoption. So the answer is B.
