Economist: On average, the emergency treatment for an elderly person for injuries resulting from a fall costs $11,000. A new the

rapeutic program can significantly reduce an elderly person's chances of falling. Though obviously desirable for many reasons, this treatment program will cost $12,500 and thus cannot be justified.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the conclusion of the argument?
(A) Among elderly people who had followed the program for only a few months, the number of serious falls reported was higher than it was for people who had followed the program for its recommended minimum length of one year.
(B) Falls resulting in serious injuries are less common among elderly people living in nursing homes than they are among elderly people who live alone at home.
(C) A frequent result of injuries sustained in falls is long-term pain, medication for which is not counted among the average per-person costs of emergency treatment for elderly people's injuries from such falls.
(D) The new therapeutic program focuses on therapies other than medication, since overmedication can cause disorientation and hence increase the likelihood that an elderly person will have a serious fall.
(E) A significant portion of the cost of the new therapeutic program is represented by regular visits by health care professionals, the costs of which tend to increase more rapidly than do those of other elements of the program.

Answer: <em>Option (C) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

<em>A recurrent conclusion of injuries occurred while falling is a long-term pain, medication for these are not taken in consideration among  intermediate per-person costs of emergency cure for aged or old individuals's laceration from such falls</em>, if true, will have the tendency to seriously undermines conclusion of argument given in the comprehension.

This states that argument given in the comprehension has not taken in consideration cost for medicine which overall will increase cost. Thereby with an increase in cost the given statement will become untrue since the cost of surgery and medicine combined is higher than cost, in such a case treatment would be more economical. Therefore it undermines conclusion of argument.

Shen manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in cash twice per month. On payday,
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Shen is working in a country where the inflation rate is high.  

He gets a salary every two weeks.  

After receiving his salary he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he is going to need over the next two weeks.  

He converts the remaining salary in a more stable currency.  

He does this in order to prevent his salary from losing purchasing power.  

This effort that he is making to prevent his real income from losing value is called the shoe-leather cost of inflation.  

The shoe-leather cost can be defined as the cost of time and effort made to prevent the cash holdings from losing their value.

Jamal purchased a motorcycle from Getaway Automobiles, and the motorcycle's electric starter began malfunctioning after a week o
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Option B, Jamal is entitled to revoke acceptance because he took back the motorcycle after the seller's assurance that the nonconformity would be cured.

Explanation:

The primary purpose of purchasing goods is to obtain conforming goods of the desired quality. Occasionally, the seller delivers non-conforming goods, goods that fail to meet the contractual obligation (obligations include: seller's description, statements promises...). In situations like this the buyer may revoke his acceptance if already accepted or reject the delivery upon discovery.

If delivery is already accepted, acceptance may be revoked;

* On the reasonable grounds that its non-conformity would be cured and it has not be cured.

* Without discovery of such non-conformity if his acceptance was reasonably induced either by the difficulty of delivery before acceptance or by the seller's assurances.

Therefore, option B best suits the question. Under these circumstances, Jamal is entitled to revoke his acceptance because the he took back the motorcycle after the seller's assurance that the non-conformity would be cured which was not, even after several complaints.

EuroRail and Swiss Rail are hypothetical railways that have a duopoly on the route that connects the cities of Zurich and Munich
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Select the answer that best describes the strategies in this game.

  • Both companies dominant strategy is to add the train.

Does a Nash equilibrium exist in this game?

  • A Nash equilibrium exists where both companies add a train. (Since I'm not sure how your matrix is set up I do not know the specific location).

Explanation:

we can prepare a matrix to determine the best strategy:

                                                  Swiss Rails

                                     add train             do not add train

                                    $1,500 /             $2,000 /

           add train                     $4,000                $7,500

EuroRail

      do not add train    $4,000 /             $3,000 /

                                               $2,000                $3,000

Swiss Rails' dominant strategy is to add the train = $1,500 + $4,000 = $5,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

EuroRail's dominant strategy is to add the train = $4,000 + $7,500 = $11,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

A Nash equilibrium exists because both companies' dominant strategy is to add a train.
