Answer:

The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989

Explanation:

The Supreme Court established that the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 covered not only employees from government entities, but also employees from private organizations (Lawson v. FMR LLC, March 4, 2014).

Whistleblowers are employees of private businesses or government entities that report illegal activities carried out by their employers. This law protects whistleblowers against possible retaliation from their employers.

Answer:

Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Explanation:

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a federal law that helps to audit and regulate financials for public companies.

It cracks down on corporate fraud.  It banned company loans to executives and gave job protection to whistleblowers. The Act gives power to the independence and financial literacy of corporate boards.

Lawmakers created the legislation specifically to help shield shareholders, employees and the public from accounting errors and fraudulent financial practices.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush, who signed the act into law on July 30, 2002, called the act "the most far-reaching reforms of American business practices since the time of Franklin Delano Roosevelt."

Answer:

The male frog would join the female frog in the water poodle

Explanation:

Mathematically,

Let x = temperature the 10000 joules from sun Ray would raise the temperature of the copper

So therefore:

10000 = m * (x - 33°) * Spc

Where m = mass of copper = 400g

Spc = specific heat capacity of copper = 0.387j/g/°c

So

400 * ( x - 33) * 0.387 = 10000

( x - 33 ) = 10000/ (400 * 0 387)

x = 97.6 °c

Temp for water where m = mass of water = 100g

x¹ = temperature the sun Ray of 10000 joules would raise the temp of water too.

Spw = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184j/g/°c

So therefore;

100 * ( x¹ - 33 ) * 4.184 = 10000joules

x¹ - 33 = 10000/ (100 * 4.184)

x¹ = 56.9°c

Since x for the male frog is greater than x¹ for the female frog, the male frog would be more uncomfortable because it's environmental temp is far higher than the comfort zone tem which is 20° to 40°c so it would move to join the female frog.

Suppose the company that owns the vending machines on your campus has doubled the price of a can of soda. if they then still sel
Ierofanga [76]
The answer would be that there are few other places to purchase soda on campus; competition (or lack thereof) can play a big factor in determining price elasticity.

While nutrition information can shift consumers' preferences, we have no indication within the question of whether or not the students are well-informed of the impact of their drinking choices.

As for the third option, we are not given any information on the students' budgets, and no information with which to infer this, either. We only have information on their spending as it is related to soda, not as compared to other purchases.

Finally, given that the quantity sold does not change much despite the change in price, we can conclude that this price curve is relatively inelastic, in which case the price elasticity of demand would be closer to zero than one. This effectively rules out the last answer.
