Answer: Option A

 

Explanation: In simple words, Ponzi scheme refers to a scheme in which a company deceit their earlier investor by paying them from the funds of recent investors in the form of profits.

Suppose the price of gasoline decreases from $4.20 to $2.00, and in response quantity demanded increases from 10600 to 11200. Us
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

the  labor rate variance and labor efficiency variance is $2,000 favorable and $3,500 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the labor rate variance and labor efficiency variance is given below;

For Labor rate variance

= $12,000 - (2000 × 7)

= $2000 F    

And, the Labor efficiency variance is

= 7 × (2000 - 3000 × 0.5)

= $3500 U

Hence, the  labor rate variance and labor efficiency variance is $2,000 favorable and $3,500 unfavorable

Which of the following statements are TRUE?

I New issues of Treasury Bills are generally priced at par

II New issues of Treasury Bonds are generally priced at par, or at a slight discount to par

III New issues of Agency Bonds are generally priced at par, or at a slight discount to par

A. I only

B. III only

C. II and III only

D. I, II, III

Correct Answer:

C. II and III only

Explanation:

It is a fact that virtually all new issues of T-Bills are always sold at a discount to par value. These are original issue discount obligations, with the accrued value of the discount being the interest income earned on these securities.

<em>Treasury Bonds and Agency Bonds are issued at par or in most cases at a very slight discount to par, and make periodic interest payments.</em>

What policy of gorbachev's called on the soviet people to openly discuss or criticize the soviet government and economy and ulti
Gennadij [26K]

A series of political and economic changes known as perestroika, or "restructuring" in Russian, were implemented to revitalize the Soviet Union's sluggish economy in the 1980s. President Mikhail Gorbachev, who designed it, would preside over the nation's most significant political and economic reforms since the Russian Revolution. But the Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991 was largely caused by the suddenness of these reforms, which were accompanied with rising instability both inside and beyond the Soviet Union.

What was the policy of Gorbachev's on Social and political topics?

The Soviet Union's policy of free discourse on social and political topics was known as glasnost (Russian for "openness"). The Soviet Union started to become democratic after Mikhail Gorbachev implemented it in the late 1980s. In the end, the Soviet Union's political system underwent substantial changes: the Communist Party's influence was diminished, and multi-candidate elections were held. Additionally, Glasnost allowed media outlets to more freely disseminate news and information and tolerated criticism of government authorities.
