Answer: a. less than 50 utils.
b. Sean's marginal utility has become negative.
c. fewer times
Explanation:
Utility is the satisfaction derived from consuming a good or service. Marginal Utility is the added satisfaction a consumer gets when he/she consumes an additional unit while the total utility is the sum of how satisfied he/she is after consuming a given number of units.
Marginal utility reduces with every extra unit taken. So Sean's marginal utility of riding the Twisty River the second time is likely less than that of the first time. Consider when you are very thirsty and you take the first sip of water. This is the most satisfying sip and the last one you take is the least satisfying.
As long as marginal utility is positive, total utility will increase. Imagine Sean gets a marginal utility of 50, 40, 30 and 10. The total utility is then 50, 90, 120 and 130 after every ride. If after the fifth ride, his total utility is 115, it means his marginal utility has become negative (maybe he threw up).
Because marginal utility reduces with every additional unit taken, Sean is not likely to keep spending the same amount of money when he is not getting the same amount of satisfaction so he will likely ride the Twisty River fewer times.
Answer:
a) A gain is subtracted from net income.
d) An increase in operating current assets is subtracted from net income.
e) A decrease in operating current liabilities is subtracted from net income.

So, the following options are used-
a) A gain is subtracted from net income.
d) An increase in operating current assets is subtracted from net income.
e) A decrease in operating current liabilities is subtracted from net income.
Answer:
$3,900
Explanation:
A speed boat bought for $13,000 depreciates at 10% per annum compounded continuously. What is its value after 7 years?
Round the answer to nearest dollar.
Amount of depreciation per annum = 13,000 x 10% = $1,300
Amount of depreciation in 7 years = 1,300 x 7 = $9,100
Value of Speed boat after 7 years = 13,000 - 9,100 = $3,900

Higher level professions are professions occupied by professionals who think strategically and carry out their duties by adhering to the ethical standards that governs their profession. Examples are medical practitioners, engineering, accountant and pilot. All these requires in-depth knowledge , good skill and special training because of the technical nature of the profession.
Having a degree is not enough to deliver on these professions because of their complexities. These professionals must adhere to the ethical standard that governs their profession and also hold themselves out of having the required training, knowledge and experience .
Take for instance a pilot who controls a plane. Asides having the required education, he would undergo special trainings on how to fly planes. He must also have the skills and experience of flying before being certified to fly people because of the risky nature of the profession.
The above example also applies to a doctor. He would undergo trainings depending on his area of specialization and must have knowledge before being certified to work as a doctor. The reason is that he is dealing with lives hence must possess the the required skills and experience.
