Eliza took her car to her regular mechanic, who had a private business. The mechanic often advertised on billboards, writing "Re

liable fixes
and low costs" and "The cheapest prices." After getting her engine checked, she incurred over $2,000 in costs. Out of curiosity, she went to
a competing private firm that also fixed cars, and the private firm said that she paid significantly more to her mechanic than the costs of both
the parts and labor. Eliza sued her mechanic, alleging that she had been misled by her mechanics advertisements. The court applied the
Central Hudson test, and found the mechanic’s advertisements were misleading. The mechanic argued that pursuant to his first amendment
rights, his speech was protected, especially because they were generalizations that should not have been taken literally. The court ruled in
favor of Eliza, ordering the mechanic to pay Eliza for damages and to take the advertisements down.

But what if the facts of the case were different? Select the appropriate set of facts below that would change the outcome of the case.

a) The court found that the advertisements were not inherently misleading. However, it did find that regulating the advertisement in question
was more extensive than necessary to protect the public interest.

b) The court found that the advertising in question constituted commercial speech.

c) The court found that the advertisements in question did not advance the state’s interest.

d) The court finds that the speech in the advertisements is not misleading, but that the state’s interest would be advanced if the advertising in question were restricted

Answer: a) The court found that the advertisements were not inherently misleading. However, it did find that regulating the advertisement in question was more extensive than necessary to protect the public interest.

Explanation: An advertisement is a notice or action promoting a product or service and soliciting patronage.

When there is no regulation of an advert, abuse is expected. Protecting the public interest is important as advertisement may be misleading if there are no extensive rules.

In a situation whereby the mechanics advertisement was found not to be inherently misleading, a different verdict may have been given.

Answer:

<em>a) The court found that the advertisements were not inherently misleading. However, it did find that regulating the advertisement in question  was more extensive than necessary to protect the public interest.</em>

Explanation:

The circumstances seemed distinct and by endorsing Eliza the court handed down a decision. However it is up to consumers to continue with ads or otherwise, which relies on their conscience.

Because while the purpose of an advertisement would be to make the people and encourage individuals to view it or listening to it.

This doesn't mean that everything in the image is honest and truthful and most of the time it's generic statements or vague generalizations.

<em>In this respect, I assume that the important set of circumstances is: the court found that the ads were not intrinsically deceptive. </em>

<em>Nevertheless, it did find that the advertising in question was limited.</em>

True [87]

Answer:

C)There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.

D)There is a lack of standardization.

E)There is difficulty in accumulating wealth.

Explanation:

barter in a trade can be regarded as a system of exchange that involves exchange of goods and services for another without using money as a medium of exchange. Barter is been considered as 'inefficient' as a result of the needs for 'double coincidence of wants'. For instance in a situation whereby someone is buying particular amount of another's goods, but the payment he/she has is for just one indivisible unit of another good, and the worth is higher than what he/she want to obtain, in this case there won't be barter transaction.

It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;

✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.

✓There is a lack of standardization.

✓There is difficulty in accumulating

Liula [17]

The entry for the dividend declaration is as following:
Debit Cash Dividend $12,000
Credit Dividend Payable $12,000
To acquire the amount we must multiply the dividend per share which is 0.06 with a number of common shares issued which is 20,000. Capston, Inc have to entry this transaction as the dividend declares although the cash has not yet disbursed to comply with the accrual principle.
 
The treasury stock must be ignored because it is the portion of stocks which held by the company in its own treasury and the amount of authorized stock because it is not yet issued and the company doesn't have the obligation to pay that portion of stocks dividend<span>.</span>

The quantity theory of money is a theory of how A) the money supply is determined. B) interest rates are determined. C) the nomi
meriva

Answer:

C) the nominal value of aggregate income is determined

Explanation:

The quantity theory of money states that nominal aggregate income is determined by money supply. It is assumed that money velocity is constant in the short run and so would not impact nominal aggregate income.

The quantity theory of money is obtained from the equation of exchange which is:

(Money supply × velocity ) = (price × agregrate output)

Dividing both sides by velocity gives,

Money supply = (1/velocity) × ( price × agregrate output)

It is assumed velocity is constant, therefore,

Money supply = k × (price × agregrate output)

I hope my answer helps.

All the best
