I am pretty sure it's to decide if the applicant is creditworthy. ( Makes most sense. Did research too.) :)
Answer:
C) There was no price control on gasoline at the time.
Explanation:
During the 1970s the US government established a price ceiling on gasoline, but as all price ceilings set below the equilibrium price, it results in both a deadweight loss and a supply shortage.
Since the price is "too cheap", then the quantity demanded will be more than the quantity supplied. Rising costs in gasoline production made things worst, since suppliers were constantly reducing their supply of gasoline, while consumer demand was constantly increasing.
Certificates of Deposit (CDs), U.S Treasury Bills, and savings accounts are generally regarded as the least risky investments, given that they are backed - at least up to a certain limit - by the U.S government.
CDs are essentially fixed-term savings accounts, which means you must deposit your funds for a set amount of time, until the account reaches what is called "maturity." Withdrawing funds before this point typically leads to a fee. In return for sacrificing liquidity, CDs tend to offer higher interest rates than normal savings accounts. These rates are most often fixed, though they sometimes come with a feature that enables you to readjust your interest rates once over your account's lifetime. Bank-issued CDs are also insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 per depositor, though this figure has dropped to $100,000 January 1, 2014. Credit Union-issued CDs are insured by another government agency, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which provides the same coverage as the FDIC.
U.S Treasury Bills are sold by the government to investors as a way to fund short-term government debts. If you purchase a U.S Treasury Bill, you are basically loaning the government a certain amount of money in return for the government's promise to pay you back with a predetermined higher amount when the bill reaches maturity. U.S Treasury Bills are typically issued with maturity terms of one month, three months, six months and 1 year.
As we all know, savings accounts are offered by banks and credit unions and provide variable interest rates, which means their rates fluctuate in accordance with the Prime Rate. While there is no time requirement for a savings account, as there is with a CD, the law only allows consumers to make up to six transfers or withdrawals from a savings account per month (not including in-person ATM or branch withdrawals). Savings accounts offer the same as insurance protections as CDs.
Hope this helps you =)
A. Sounding your horn to have fun is just absurd, and could cause an issue. Either leading to other drivers to have a scare and wonder what was the problem, or they would get angry because they'd think you're trying to be rude. So, answer A. is incorrect.
B. Sound your horn to demand the right-of-way is extremely wrong, and incorrect. So, answer B. is incorrect.
C. You must sound your horn when necessary in order to avoid any collisions. You must do this to help warn and prevent another driver from getting into an accident with you. Therefore, C is correct.
D. Sound your horn to give other driver a piece of your mind. This is also known as road rage, it's not worth doing since you could get distracted while driving, and could lead to serious (sometimes fatal) issues. So, answer D. is incorrect.
So, as I said above, the correct answer is: C. W<span>hen necessary to avoid collisions
Good luck with your studies, and I truly hope this helps!~</span>
Answer:
$702,400
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cost of the machine acquired = $1,110,000
Useful life of the machine = 5 years
Residual value = $91,000
Method of depreciation is straight line
Now,
Annual depreciation = 
or
⇒ Annual depreciation = 
or
⇒ Annual depreciation = $203,800
Book value = Cost of the machine - (Total depreciation in the given period)
now,
Duration of period from January 1, 2018 to end of 2019 = 2 years
Therefore,
The total depreciation = 2 × Annual depreciation
= 2 × $203,800
= $407,600
Hence,
Book value at the end of 2019 = $1,110,000 - $407,600
or
Book value at the end of 2019 = $702,400
