Answer: C . Paris Agreement

Explanation:

You included no background passage or additional details to the question for me to know what contribution you speak of but the above is most probably the answer.

The U.S. never ratified the Kyoto Protocol so I don't think they had contribution requirements. The London Accords produces research for financial investors so has little to do with the U.S. as a whole.

The Geneva Convention is simply an agreement on conduct during wars so this does not require contributions. This leaves the Paris Agreement ... on Climate Change which has set targets on the emissions to be cut by developed countries so it is most likely the answer.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The rationale for conducting active policy is the interest of Congress to alter the state of the economy through a deliberate change in established policies.

But in the case of Passive policy, the government permits the status quo.

Active policy relies on the government to enforce it while passive policy does not need the government's interference to work in stabilizing the economy.

Explanation:

The following statements applies passive policy because the economy is expected to stabilize on it's own without the deliberate act of congress influencing it:

Economic circumstances can change dramatically between the time that an economic downturn begins and the time when policy actions have an effect on the economy.
Fluctuations in economic output have been less severe since World War II.

The following statements is a rationale for conducting active policy since the government's intervention is required:

Economists are not very accurate forecasters.
Increases in government spending generate increases in economic output.

Shay was trying to: resist being defensive.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The term resist refers to the act of withstanding. It is an act through which a person fights firmly and strongly. The act through which an individual induces threats through the behaviour refers to be defensive. It makes them to be unique in the task they do. A person will be resist and defensive when he or she knows that their work is good enough and there will be no pint to prove them wrong or blamed.

In the given scenario, Shay knows that she performed better and he prepares herself not to be angry in the meeting held by her supervisor. She prepares herself with the entire question that will be asked her by the supervisor and how she must react to those questions. Thus, Shay was trying to: resist being defensive.

Note whether the following phenomena would be consistent with or a violation of the efficient market hypothesis.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

D) Stock prices of companies that announce increased earning in January tend to outperform the market in February.

Explanation:

The above is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. All others are a direct contravention.

<em>The efficient market hypothesis (EMH), also known as the efficient market theory, is a hypothesis that states that the prices of shares contain all information and that consistent alpha generation is impossible.</em>

According to the hypothesis, stocks always trade at their fair value on exchanges, making it impossible for investors to purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices.

This means that it should not be possible to outperform the overall market through professional stock selection or market timing.

The only way according to EMH that an investor can obtain better returns is by purchasing riskier investments.

By implication, this also means that it is not possible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information.

You would note that in the option D, earning (which is a key driver for demand of stock) is announced in one month. The natural reaction would be for the demand for that stock to surge in the next month.

UP Forklifts sells two products, large forklifts and small forklifts. A large forklift sells for $ 80 comma 000 per unit with v

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Break-even point (units)= 90 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Large forklift:

Selling price= $80,000 per unit

Unitary variable cost= $26,000 per unit.

Small forklifts:

Selling price= $60,000 per unit

Unitary variable cost= $12,000 per unit.

Total fixed costs for the company are $4,455,000.

Sales proportion:

Large forklift= 0.25

Small forklift= 0.75

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.25*80,000 + 0.75*60,000) - (0.25*26,000 + 0.75*12,000)

Weighted average contribution margin= 65,000 - 15,500= 49,500

Break-even point (units)= 4,455,000/ 49,500

Break-even point (units)= 90 units
