1 answer:

7 0

An externality in business or economics is where an industrial activity has an unexpected side effect which does not figure in the cost of the goods and services involved. For example, I worked many years at a large mine. Just the existence of the mine there meant it was a no-hunting area so a side effect was that the moose used it as a refuge during hunting season which as a side effect was beneficial to the moose (and deer). Another example is that we used to crush mine rock for the haulroads for winter traction. As a result, it was found that the fines from this were concentrated with copper values so were put in the mill for processing-an unexpected outcome.

azamat

Answer:

The correct option is B that is 0.45

Explanation:

Computing the Current Ratio with the formula which is as:

Current Ratio (CR) = Current Assets (CA) / Current Liabilities (CL)

where

Current Ratio (CA) is $477.50

Current Liabilities (CL) is $1075

Putting the values in the above formula of Current Ratio (CR):

Note 2: This is the correct formula for computing the current ratio and I computed the same with the given information, so it 0.45 is the correct answer.
