Economists differ in their views of the role of the government in promoting economic growth. At the very least, the government s

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) Lend support to the invisible hand by maintaining property rights and political stability .

Explanation:

The absence of the government in legislative tasks related to the market is, therefore, one of the main bases of the economic theory developed by Adam Smith throughout his bibliographical work. For Smith, the leaders must deal with other areas of control more focused on defense or justice, leaving the market to its free operation.

The invisible hand presupposes that there is an inertia by which the market and its self-regulation leads individuals to make the best decisions for the majority of the population to achieve well-being. In other words, it is a kind of automatic control mechanism that compensates the actions taken as a whole, regulating social conformations.

Therefore, it is assumed that the self-regulation facilitated to the markets helps to achieve an optimal market. To do this, individuals must behave in such a way that they can act without state mediation and in pursuit of their own interest.

The metaphor of the invisible hand also supposes that individuals are encouraged or held back to produce or not to follow the level of prices that exist in the market. Prices and profits are sufficient indicative to know when to participate in the market or not. Basically, if there is profit in a market niche, this supposes a stimulus for production, while losses lead individuals to quit.

Why doesn’t the fact that the ‘’Inflation solution" is only a temporary solution to stop many developing countries from using it

Lynna [10]

Explanation:

Remember, inflation is scenario in an economy in which there occurs a constant rise in the prices of commodities/services in the market, which may lead to a reduction of the money in circulation.

Although, developing countries could use alternative approaches such as taxation or cutting down government expenditure, they do not use this but prefer "inflation solution" because it appears to be the easy way out.

Since, taxes are always lesser than required to run the economies of developing countries they (the government) may not use this approach.

Feldspar Inc. is considering the capital structure for a new division. Management has been given the following cost information:

34kurt

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

In this question ,we have to compute the WACC which is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)

For Option 1, it would be

= (0.3 × 10%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.7 × 12.5%)

= 1.8% + 8.75%

= 10.55%

For Option 2, it would be

= (0.4 × 10.5%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.6 × 13%)

= 2.52% + 7.8%

= 10.32%

For Option 3, it would be

= (0.5 × 11%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.5 × 13.5%)

= 3.3% + 6.75%

= 10.05%

For Option 4, it would be

= (0.6 × 11.7%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.4 × 14.2%)

= 4.212% + 5.68%

= 9.89%

For Option 5, it would be

= (0.7 × 13%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.3 × 15.5%)

= 5.46% + 4.65%

= 10.11%

So based on this, the management should accept option 4 as it derives the best debt asset ratio

The weightage of equity would be come

= 1 - weightage of debt

Uplift, weathering, burial, and heating/melting can transform one rock type into another. B. All rocks in the Earth's crust will

melomori [17]

Answer:

b. All rocks in the Earth's crust will, at some point, be subducted and melted to create igneous rock.

Explanation:

There are 3 types of rock:

1. Igneous, wich are formed when 2 tectonic plates collide and magma goes to surface getting cold

2. Sedimentary: when many layers of preexistent rocks produce pressure and heat by weigth melting the rocks.

3. Metamorphic: a new rock is formed by chemical and/or physical reaction over preexistent rocks

Sedimentary and metamorphic would be subducted in order to produce new igneus rocks.

Mary suffers $25,000 in uninsured losses in 2019 when her house burns down while she was on vacation. This loss was not due to a

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the possibility of deducting casualty losses if they were not caused by federally declared natural disasters. The only way Mary could deduct the $25,000 loss is that she had some type of casualty gain during the year that is offset by this loss. Casualty gains result when a person receives more money from an insurance company due to an event, e.g. fire, than the basis of the property. But in this case, there is no prior casualty gain, so the casualty loss cannot be deducted.
