Answer:
a. either the economy must be producing a larger output of goods and services, or goods and services must be selling at higher prices, or both
Explanation:
Total Spending is the total values of goods & services produced & transacted ( bought, sold ) in an economy, during a period of time. 
Total Spending = Price of goods,services x Quantity of goods,services 
So, if the total spending increases : It implies that either the quantity of goods & services, or their prices, or both have increased. As, amount spent is a product of both of them.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer and Explanation:
A. Given that Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain
Given that Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain
Both designs are assumed to be permanent
To find ROR using AW based rate of return equation, we find present value of each design and equate them:
Each design is permanent so
Present value of perpetuity:
Design 1A= 1700000+175000/r
Design 1B = 3600000+40000/r
=1700000+175000/r=3600000+40000/r
135000/r=1900000
Cross multiply
r=135000/1900000
r= 0.0710
r=7.10%
B Given that ROR=7.10% and MARR is 25%
MARR>ROR
Hence we reject both designs
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer and Explanation:
An increase in the number of firms increases the demand elasticity. As the demand elasticity increases from 2 to 3 it means you could encounter less demand if product prices are increased. At a demand elasticity of -3, it is regarded as inelastic demand and a change in price will not affect the demand for the product as customers are still likely to patronize the product example gasoline. Due to its high demand, an increase in price will not readily affect the demand for it. Therefore if you are to change the price from $10 at 2 to 3 demand elasticity increase, the percentage of increase from 2 to 3 is given as.
3-2/2 X 100 = 50%
The new charge (x) at -3 demand elasticity = 50%/3 = 0.66666666
The increase in the new charge is therefore $10 + $10x = $10 + $10(0.166666) = $11.67
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a small claims court
Explanation:
A small claims court is a local court where a plaintiff can make a claim regarding small amounts of money. Usually small claims courts only have jurisdiction over private disputes regarding money owed under agreement (applies to Maria's claim), unpaid loans, property damage, contract breaches, etc. Small claims court can handle cases up to $35,000 and you usually do not need a lawyer. 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
I had to look for the options and here is my answer. In the comparison of political, economic and environmental push and pull factors, we can say that the statement that shows accuracy related to this is this: "the most common environmental push factor is water." (This answer is based on the actual options attached to this question.)
