Answer:

<h2>Sentence-level Writing</h2>

a. Dangling Modifier:

 

1.

Dangling Modifier:  When beginning the meeting

Best Revision:  2. When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off

2.

Dangling Modifier :  taking the train into Boston

Best Revision: Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.

b. Identifying the dependent clauses:

1. Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours

3. When he opened the e-mail message

c. Identifying the independent clauses:

2. Meanwhile, the executive assistant printed the agenda.

d. Identifying the sentence with the correct parallel structure:

1. The systems analyst found that we needed to upgrade our equipment, revise our backup process, and implement better security measures.

e. Best option to complete the sentence:

If you _________, you will do well in this corporation.

1. write well, speak well, and use good interpersonal skills

Explanation:

a. A phrase or clause that is not directly related to the word or words it modifies is called a dangling modifier.  Usually, the word a dangling modifier modifies may be absent from the sentence.  An example is "when beginning the meeting."  The word it modifies may be "we" as in "When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off."

b. A clause which cannot make a complete sense or sentence is called a dependent clause.  It requires another clause to make a complete sense.  The clause that makes a complete a complete sentence and can stand alone without another clause is an independent clause.

c. A sentence that has grammatical structure which is balanced is said to have parallelism.  This can also be called parallel structure or construction.  This means that the items listed follow similar pattern that rhyme with one another.  Let us revise the sentence with the wrong parallel structure in this case so as to make it become a parallelism:  "The systems analyst found that we needed upgraded equipment, revised backup processes, and better implemented security measures."  By this revision, the wrong parallel sentence now has a well-structured parallelism.

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments:
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1.89 years and 2.91 years

Explanation:

The formula to compute the payback period is shown below:

= Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

For first case

The initial investment is $260,000

And, the net cash flow is shown below:

= Depreciation + incremental after tax income

where,

Depreciation equals to

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($260,000 - $10,000) ÷ (4 years)

= ($20,000) ÷ (4 years)  

= $62,500

And the incremental after tax income is $75,000

So, the net cash flow would equal to

= $62,500 + $75,000

= $137,500

So, the payback period would be

= $260,000 ÷ $137,500

= 1.89 years

For second case

The initial investment is $170,000

And, the net cash flow is shown below:

= Depreciation + incremental after tax income

where,

Depreciation equals to

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($170,000 - $14,000) ÷ (9 years)

= ($156,000) ÷ (9 years)  

= $17,333

And the incremental after tax income is $41,000

So, the net cash flow would equal to

= $17,333 + $41,000

= $58,333

So, the payback period would be

= $170,000 ÷ $58,333

= 2.91 years

Suppose there is a simultaneous increase in demand and decrease in supply, what effect will this have on the equilibrium price?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Although the impact on the equilibrium quantity cannot be determined, a rise in demand and a decrease in supply will result in an increase in the equilibrium price. 1. Consumers now place a higher value on goods, and producers must charge a higher price to offer the goods; as a result, prices will rise for all quantities.

If demand increases at the same time as supply increases, as is the case in the scenario depicted, the new equilibrium price will be greater than the initial equilibrium price.

We therefore know that an increase in supply decreases equilibrium price and increases quantity, while a rise in supply increases equilibrium price and decreases quantity (and vice versa) (and vice versa).

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The economic surplus will decrease by $2.20

Explanation:

$81.40 and $79.20 are <em>marginal </em>cost and benefit, which are the changes to total costs and total benefits due to producing and consuming one additional barrel of oil.

They can be used to calculate <em>change </em>to economic surplus, which is the change to the net economic value received by society, which is given by:

marginal benefit - marginal cost = $79.20 - $81.40 = - $2.20
