Read the excerpts about climate change. Article 1, found on the website of the Natural Resources Defense Council, a certified ch

aritable organization, supports global warming. Global warming doesn't create hurricanes, but it does make them stronger and more dangerous. Because the ocean is getting warmer, tropical storms can pick up more energy and become more powerful. So global warming could turn, say, a category 3 storm into a much more dangerous category 4 storm. In fact, scientists have found that the destructive potential of hurricanes has greatly increased along with ocean temperature over the past 35 years. Article 2 was written by Michael Fumento, writer for the New York Post editorial blog, who does not support global warming. Back in 2005 I and others reviewed the entire hurricane record, which goes back over a century, and found no increase of any kind. Yes, we sometimes get bad storms—but no frequently now than in the past. The advocates simply ignored that evidence. Fact is, the earth was cooling and warming long before greenhouse gases could have been a factor. The [global warming supporters] have been proved wrong time and time again. Which best justifies the accuracy of the claim? Although Article 1 mentions evidence discovered by scientists, more research is needed about the data source to determine if the claim is scientific. Article 1 is a scientific claim because it says that global warming doesn’t create hurricanes. Although Article 2 mentions the study of a hurricane record, it is a scientific claim because the author himself reviewed it and is therefore an expert. Article 2 uses a scientific claim because the author says the Earth is in a cooling cycle.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$4,580 and $4,580

Explanation:

The depreciation expense computation for the first and second year under straight line method is as see below;

= Original cost - Residual value / Useful life

= ($27,200 - $4,300) / 5yrs

= $22,900 / 5yrs

= $4,580

With regards to using the straight line method, the depreciation value is the same for all the remaining useful years.

It therefore means that for the first and second year, the same depreciation value of $4,580 should be charged distinctly for each year.

Gulf Coast Tours currently has a weighted average cost of capital of 12.4 percent based on a combination of debt and equity fina
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

15.36 percent.

Explanation:

WACC= We * Ke + Wd * Kd

Where,

We = Weight of equity

Wd = Weight of debt

Ke = Cost of equity

Kd = Post tax cost of debt = 6.1%

0.124 = (1/1.47)(x) + (0.47/1.47)(0.061)

The right hand side of the equation was solved using the Least common factor method.

O.124 =( X + 0.02867)/1.47

0.124 x 1.47 = X + 0.02867

0.18228 - 0.02867 = X

0.15361 = X

0.1536 × 100

= 15.36

Abraham drinks Mountain Dew. He can buy as many cans of Mountain Dew as he wishes at a price of $0.55 per can. On a particular d
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

c. $0.70.

Explanation:

The consumer surplus is determined by subtracting Equilibrium price from willing price

Here there are 3 willing prices which are greater than Equilibrium price. The price to buy the forth can is $0.40 which is below the equilibrium price of $0.55, so he will not buy the forth can.

Willing price for first can (W1) = $0.95

Willing price for second can (W2) = $0.80

Willing price for third can (W3) = $0.60

The Equilibrium price (E) is $0.55

Consumer Surplus = (W1 - E) + (W2 - E) + (W3 - E)

Consumer Surplus = ($0.95 - $0.55) + ($0.80 - $0.55) + ($0.60 - $0.55)

Consumer Surplus = $0.40 + $0.25 + $0.05

Consumer Surplus = $0.70.
