Answer:

15.4%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine your best guess for the rate of return on the stock

The revised estimate on the rate of return on

the stock would be:

Before

14% = α +[4%*1] + [6%*0.4]

α = 14% - 6.4%

α = 7.6%

With the changes:

7.6% + [5%*1] + [7%*0.4]

= 7.6% + 5% + 2.8%

= 15.4%

Therefore your best guess for the rate of return on the stock will be 15.4%

ikadub [295]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. classical economist.

Explanation:

Classical economics reoriented economic thinking away from the approach that was based on the preferences of rulers or social classes. The classics emphasized the benefits of free trade and developed an organized analysis of the value of goods and services as a reflection of their cost of production.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The answer is reducing the risks for customers.

Explanation:

Businesses in a competitive market do many things to outshine their competitors. One of such things is offering a warranty to help pay for future damages. A warranty is simply an assurance that the business would be willing to help if a customer experiences challenges from use of the product sold by the business outfit. The business would either get the product fixed or give a new one to the customer with no additional cost.

Customers/consumers love warranty because it gives them full assurance and sense of security. As such, any business which offers warranties on their products would be seen as prepared to help reduce the risk for consumers of ther products.

For each of the scenarios below, determine whether the employer is likely to be discriminating against a person because of age:
barxatty [35]

Answer and Explanation:

In the U.S., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the authority protecting individuals from discrimination at work in any kind because of <em>race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, nationality, language, sexual orientation, impairment</em> differences or any other type of unfair treatment not related to work itself.

Age discrimination could take place when certain groups of individuals are valued more than others because of their youth or because their white hair represents experience. In any situation, unequal opportunities are given which must be sanctioned. Thus:

A) A young lawyer who just finished work on a multimillion-dollar development deal downtown is hired by an economic development firm in lieu of an older lawyer who works on litigation.  

<em>This example does not represent discrimination because the election is based on performance rather than age. </em>

B) A large retail outlet hires a 30-year-old woman to greet customers instead of an 80-year-old woman who has been greeting customers in other stores for a decade.  

<em>This example reflects discrimination because a younger woman is hired mainly based on her age rather than her expertise. </em>

C) The owner of a local, hip smoothie bar in a university town just fired a graduate student who had worked at the bar for three years and instead hired a college sophomore.

<em>This example represents discrimination since a younger student is hired to replace another student who was in the last year of university.</em>

I have been working on a Elementary Spanish 1 assignment for about 30 minutes, and I am now stuck. Can you please help me with t
Leya [2.2K]

These are OK

1. ¿Cuántos estudiantes hablan español?

Veinte estudiantes hablan español.

2. ¿A qué hora es la clase de sociología?

La clase es a las cinco

4. ¿Qué cursos tomas?

Estoy tomando historía, español, y arte

Now these need correction:

3. ¿Trabajas ustedes mañana? <em>This is common, "ustedes" is plural "you" , singular "you" is "tu", and when the verb is conjugated there is no need of the personal pronoun, a correct version of this question would be  "¿Trabajas mañana?</em>

No, no trabajas mañana. Trabaja sábado. <em>"trabajas" is conjugated in second person, you should answer in first person "No, no trabajo mañana, trabajo el sabado"</em>

5. ¿Estudias?  <em>I dont know what  you mean by this, in english is: "study?" if you are asking "are you studying for you examns?" or something like that it would be "¿estas estudiando?"</em>

¿Estudias...?? <em>And the answer would be "Si,estoy estudiando mucho" - "Yes, I'm studying hard"</em>

<em>7. ¿</em>Hay? <em>The same as before this means "is there...?"  you might ask "is there a coffee shop in campus?" and in spanish "hay cafeterias en el campus?"</em>

¿Hay....???? <em>And the answer here is "yes, there are" => "si, hay"</em>

<em>8. ¿</em>Dónde está? <em>Where is...? is this question,  you might ask "where is the coffee shop?", "donde está la cafeteria?"</em>

¿Donde esta???? "<em>La cafeteria esta en la esquina" => "The coffee shop is the corner"</em>
