None of the options shows an alternative Tina has, a real alternative would be a credit card and cash ($190)

In economics, an alternative is an element that replaces or substitutes another. For an element to be considered an alternative it needs:

To belong to the same category or have the same function.
To be possible for the user to replace the first element using the alternative.

Based on this, let's analyze each of the options:

Jacket and $100: These are not alternatives because Tina wants a jacket and this product cannot be replaced with money as money will not protect Tina from cold weather.

Shoes and a jacket: These are not alternatives because Tina wants the two products not only one.

Credit card and $100: These would be alternatives if the total cost was $100. However, using a credit card Tina can pay for both products but using $100 she can only pay for one of the products.

Therefore, the options do not present alternatives; but one valid alternative is a credit card and $190.

Answer:

1 hour working on problems, 3 hours reading

Explanation:

the question is not complete:

Bob is a hard-working college freshman. One Tuesday, he decides to work nonstop until he has answered 200 practice problems for his chemistry course. He starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of his progress throughout the day. He notices that as he gets tired, it takes him longer to solve each problem.

Time Total Problems Answered Marginal gain

8:00 AM 0

9:00 AM 80 80

10:00 AM 140 60

11:00 AM 180 40

Noon 200 20

Since Bob's is able to answer more than 70 questions per hours only during one hour (from 8 to 9 AM), he can benefit more from reading the next 3 hours. Reading would be equivalent to answering 210 questions, while Bob was only able to answer 120 more questions in the following 3 hours.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Explanation:

If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.

However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.

In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009
