Answer:

$Length=7units\\\\Width=5units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=(Length-2) units

W=(L-2) units

Area of the rectangle= 35 square units

Area = length* Width

$35= L*(L-2)\\\\35=L^2-2L$

Subtracting 35 both sides:

$L^2-2L-35=0$

Solving the quadratic equation for 'L' ;

Using factorization:

$L^2+5L-7L-35=0$

Taking common from the equation :

$L(L+5)-7(L+5)=0\\\\(L+5)(L-7)=0\\\\L+5=0\\\\L=-5$

$L-7=0\\\\L=7$

The length cannot be negative, therefore Length(L)= 7

$Width=Length-2\\\\=7-2\\\\=5 units$

$Length=7units\\\\Width=5units$

Starbucks reports net income for 2015 of $2,634.4 million. Its stockholders' equity is $5,605 million and $6,151 million for 201

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

A. 44.82%

Option b. Return On Equity usually increases since the repurchase of shares reduces the denominator (avg. stockholders' equity)

Option b. The Companies would tend to repurchase their own stock if they feel the stock is been undervalued by the market

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Computation for return on equity for 2015

Using this formula

Return on equity = The Net income amount /The Average stockholders' equity amount

Let plug in the formula

Return on equity=2,634.4/[(5,605+6,151)/2]

Return on equity=2,634.4/(11,756/2)

Return on equity=2,634.4/5,878

Return on equity=0.4482×100

Return on equity= 44.82%

b. In a situation where they repurchased over $1.4 billion of its common stock in the year 2015 this means that the RETURN ON EQUITY will usually tend to increases reason been that the repurchase of shares will often reduces the denominator (average stockholders' equity)

Therefore the repurchase increase Starbucks’ Return On Equity.

c. In a situation where Starbucks had not repurchased common stock in the year 2015, what their Return On Equity would have been is that they will repurchase their own stock if they feel the stock is been undervalued by the market

Chaucer explores the idea that appearances can be deceiving through the character of the old woman. how does this theme relate t

Inessa [10]

Since the plot of "The Wife of Bath's Tale" has at its heart a loathly lady who shape-shifts into a beautiful, young damsel, we might expect appearances to be important here. And they are, just not for the reason you might think. For instead of this being a tale about how a knight learns to appreciate people for what's on the inside and that outer appearances don't matter, it's a tale about how a knight learns to give up sovereignty to his wife. That sovereignty includes power over the body. The loathly lady's physical appearance becomes an important symbol of that body, so that, at the end of the tale, when she offers her husband a choice about how he wants her to look, she's in essence offering him control of her body. He grants this control back to her, thus proving his understanding of the doctrine of women's sovereignty in marriage. Medieval stories don't necessarily go in for the whole 'appearances don't mean anything' maxim anyway, as we've seen in the "General Prologue<span>."</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

$2790 is shares equally between 3 committees. each committee would get - $2790 / 3 = $930

If a shirt costs $12 and the Sports Committee gets $930, the committee would get $930 / $12 = 77.5

The committee cannot get half a shirt, so the greatest number of shirt that can be purchased is 77
