Answer:
- <u><em>D. It has both good and bad effects, but we can't always predict what those are.</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Explanation:
Of course, ethics mandates that the target of science and <em>new technology </em>should always pursue the good for humans; nevertheless, since time immemorial man has developed technology to make war. Thus, definetely, the first statement <em>"A It always does good for human"</em> is false.
Some other negative effects of <em>new technology</em>, like cars and nuclear power, have been harmful to the environment, but you cannot tell that this has always been so. Technology has also been developed to help the environment. For instance, panels to use solar energy do not harm the environment and seek to reduce fuel burning to help the environment. Thus, option <em>B, "It always ends up doing harm to the environment"</em> is false too.
Some of the damage that new technology can produce are not predicted both because the technology is new and because it may be used with different goals to those it was developed. This explains why option <em>C, It has many bad effects</em>, is false, and option <em>D, "It has both good and bad effects, but we can't always predict what those are", </em>is true.
Answer:
The correct answer is attainable and efficient.
Explanation:
The production possibility curve or frontier shows a different combination of two goods that can be produced using the fixed resources. Each point on the production possibility curve shows the bundles of good that are productively efficient and attainable.
The points below the curve show those bundles which are attainable but productively efficient. The points above the production possibility curve show those bundles which are not attainable because they require more resources. The point where the PPF intersects the vertical axis is both productively efficient as well as attainable.
Answer:
$5,026
Explanation:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Cash flows 1,000 2,000 3,000
Discount factor 1/1.08 1/(1.08)^2 1/(1.08)^3
Discount Factor= .93 .86 .79
Cash flows*discount factor
1000*.93 2000*.86 3000*.79
Net present value of cash flows
930 1,715 2,381
930+1715+2381=5,026 is the maximum amount one can pay for this investment

Explanation:
The computation of the payment made each on July 31 is as follows:
Given that
Note Value = $45,600 ;
Time = 3 years
Based on the above information
The payment made each year is
= Value of the note × PVIFA factor at 7% for 3 years
= $45,600 × 2.6243
= $17,376.06
Hence, the correct option is b.
