Answer: adverse selection

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that an

insurance company is likely to attract customers like Clancy who want to purchase insurance because he knows better that the company that he is more likely to make a claim on a policy.

The idea above is called adverse selection. This is a situation whereby either the seller or the buyer believes that he or she has more information than the other person regarding a particular product.

mixer [17]

Answer:

(a) Current ratio = 2.746

(b) Acid-test ratio = 1.423

(c) Debt to assets ratio = 47.48%  

(d) Return on assets = 6.15%

Explanation:

For Balance Sheet, pleased see attached file.

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Current Ratio = 212,800 / 77,500

Current Ratio = 2.746

Acid-Test Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

Acid-Test Ratio = (212,800 – 102,500) / 77,500

Acid-Test Ratio = 1.423

Debt to Asset ratio = (Total Liabilities / Total Assets)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = (205,500 / 432,800)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = 47.48%

ROA = (Net Income / Total Assets)*100

ROA = (26,600 / 432,800)*100

ROA = 6.15%

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current liabilities. It tells how many dollars of the current asset are per dollar of current debts, that gives an idea of the company`s ability to perform its debts.    

The Quick Ratio is also a liquidity indicator, but using its most liquid assets, to pay its current liabilities at maturity. The inventory, although it is a current asset, is not considered, since it cannot be converted into cash in a very short term.

The difference between the Quick Ratio and the Current Ratio, implies that while both are measures of the company's ability to pay its debts, the quick ratio also tells how much the company depends on its inventory to get that objective.

The Debt to Assets ratio is a financial ratio that shows how much of a company assets is owed to its creditors.  

ROA is a financial indicator that gives an idea as to how efficient a company's management is at using its assets to generate earnings, by determining how profitable a company is relative to its total assets.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The answer is B. Ethan has more experience than Karen.

Explanation:

Now, lets take each Answer option separately and see why only B is correct.

Option A is no longer legally accepted or ethical. Perhaps during the era of segregation back in 1960s' this option could have been acceptable. But today it is illegal and is considered as a violation of basic human rights.

Option C is not correct as well because although people with special needs and physical requirements are entitled to receive certain special treatments, paying them more solely based on their disability is not considered suitable nor ethical.

Option D is unacceptable. No one can assume that men have more stamina than women. There are competent, strong and qualified women who can do their jobs much better than men. So we cannot accept this as an answer.

Option E is incorrect as well. Although a person could be an immigrant, once that person has lawfully taken the citizenship of a country, that "immigrant" is considered as a "citizen" of that country (this is not applicable for illegal immigrants!).

However, we can take option B as the answer. This is because when comparing a new employee with a more experienced employee, we can't see any problem in paying the experienced employee more.
