The main way in which speculative investing weakened the stability of the stock market was that it it led to high overvaluation of a company's worth, meaning that people began to divest quickly, leading to a run on the banks.
Personally, I would choose to save that money. The reason why is you never know - maybe something bad is going to happen and you will need that extra cash. So instead of splurging it on material things, it's better to save it for a rainy day, in my opinion. Investing is not safe, given that you may lose a lot more than you invest.
Answer:
See answer below
Explanation:
1. Degree of operating leverage
Selling price $126,000
Variable cost $50,400
Contribution margin $75,600
Fixed cost $23,000
Net operating income $52,600
Degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin / operating income = $75,600 / $52,600
= 1.44

They are used to do that because the range of variance could be from -10% to +20%.
Although this, it is not accurate enough to provide a solid basis for a firm commitment because it only represents an approximation of what is need to be done.
I hope this answer helps you.
I would say that all of the following are steps to help you be a good problem solver except B and C. You need to define the problem and then set about creating solutions. For example, if it is becoming too expensive to haul ore out of an open pit because it its too deep so the haulage costs are prohibitive, then a potential solution involves decreasing haulage costs by shortening the haul which can be resolved by extending in pit conveyors and crusher down close to the ore deep within the pit.
