Answer:

C. is producing with the least-costly combination of X and Y,but could increase its profits by employing more of X and less of Y

Explanation:

At equilibrium

We know that

MRPx ÷ MRPy = wx ÷ wy

So, according to the question, it is

100 ÷ 6< 50 ÷ 20

This means that MRPx ÷  wx  > MRPy ÷  wy

In this way, the equilibrium x would be rise and y would be decreased

Therefore the correct option is c.  

And, the rest of the options would be seems wrong

Endor Company begins the year with $110,000 of goods in inventory. At year-end, the amount in inventory has increased to $118,00
Arada [10]

Answer:

11.40

32 days

Explanation:

Inventory turnover and days of sales of inventory are examples of activity ratios.

They are used to measure the efficiency of performing daily tasks

inventory turnover =  Cost of goods sold/ average inventory

Average inventory = ($118,000 + $110,000) / 2 = $114,000

Inventory turnover =  $1,300,000 / $114,000 = 11.40

days of sales of inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 11.40 = 32 days

Review 4: AIMS Science Practice
Zolol [24]

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.
