Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve for this question. However I have found similar question on the internet and I will be using that data. Besides, I have attached the data used in the attachment below.
Solution:
1. The debt-to-equity ratio is the best way to assess financial risk. A higher debt-to-equity ratio indicates a higher level of financial risk. This ratio represents the willingness of the equity of the owners to fulfil their obligations.
Formula used:
Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities divided by owner's equity
For Clobes:
Total liabilities = 100,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
Debt-to-equity ratio = 100000/200000 = 0.5
For Snyder:
Total liabilities = 300,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/200000 = 1.5
For Welz:
Total liabilities = 300,000
Owners' equity = 100,000
Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/100000 = 3
Welz faces the greatest financial risk because it has the highest debt-to-equity ratio. It has a debt-to-equity ratio of three. Even though it depends on the industry, a company's debt-to-equity ratio should be between 1 and 1.5 if it is considered optimal. In this case, Welz's financial risk is considerably higher.
2. calculate Return on Equity(ROE)
Formula used:
ROE = Net income / Owner's equity
For Clobes:
Net income = 25,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
ROE = 25,000 / 200000 = 0.125
For Snyder:
Net income = 30,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
ROE = 30000 / 200000 = 0.15
For Welz:
Net income = 20,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
ROE = 20000 / 100000 = 0.2
Welz has the highest return of equity (ROE) of 0.2.
As a result, Welz is the most profitable company.
3. Return on assets:
Formula used
Return on Assets = Net income / Total assets
For Clobes:
Net income = 25,000
Total assets = 300,000
Return on Assets = 25,000 / 300000 = 0.08
For Snyder:
Net income = 30,000
Total assets = 500000
Return on Assets = 30000 / 500000 = 0.06
For Welz:
Net income = 20,000
Total assets = 400,000
Return on Assets = 20000 / 400000 = 0.05
Hence,
Clobes has the highest return on assets, which is 0.08.

Answer:
Option c) how a consumer might trade off different levels of consumption of each of two goods, while staying at the same utility level.
Explanation:
This is the very definition of an indifference curve. The points in an indifference curve are the combinations of the quantities (level of consumption) of two different goods which will produce the very same utility to the consumer. The consumer will perceive any of those combinations as having the same utility for him.
For example, a usual graph of various indifference curves will look like the graph attached.
In this graph the combination of 2 pairs of shoes and 15 pants will be perceived as having the same utility as the combination of 5 pairs of shoes and 4 pants. Both are combinations in the same indifference curve, the green one, and the utility of any combination lying in that green curve will be rated the same: u = 1.
