re is a 1 percent chance of serious illness that will cost you $67,500 in health care, a 9 percent chance of a moderate illness that will cost you $2,500, and a 90 percent chance of regular health care needs that will cost you $500. One type of health insurance is emergency-only coverage; it will cover your expenses for serious illness but not moderate illness or regular care.

Consumers who take vitamin/mineral supplements should be aware that excessive intakes could pose hazards, and should refer to th
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

estimated average requirement

Explanation:

Many people (if not almost everyone) believes that vitamins and minerals are good, and more of them are even better. But anything in excess, including good things can be bad for you. E.g. if you do not consume enough iron you might develop anemia, but excess iron can poison you.

The estimated average requirement (EAR) values are intake levels that meet at least 50% of the populations needs. Your individual requirement levels might vary depending on your height, weight, age or activity levels, but the EAR serves as a good starting point to calculate your own individual needs.

borishaifa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost is shown below;

a. The variable cost per unit is

= (Highest total cost - lowest total cost) ÷ (Highest units produced - lowest units produced)

= ($440,000 - $300,000) ÷ (5,500 - 2,700)

= $140,000 ÷ 2,800

= $50

b. The total fixed cost is

= $440,000 - 5,500 × $50

= $440,000 - $275,000

= $165,000

noname [10]

Answer: d. must stop payment if the bank has a reasonable time to act.

Explanation:

Dios as a bank holds money for it's customers which means that the money is still under the ownership of the customer in question to do as they see fit.

If the customer therefore instructs them to act in a certain way with that money, they will do so provided that it is legal of course.

Bok asks Dios to stop a payment related to his own money and so they must do so if they have enough/reasonable time to do so because as their customer, he is there first priority especially in relation to his own money.
