Full Question:
<em>Suppose it is discovered that the first zurvanites were influenced more by indian than by babylonian conceptions of cyclical time. does this discovery support the author's argument?</em>
A: The author does not claim that Zoroaster was the first to proclaim the end of history, just that this claim was one of the “most striking elements” in his teaching (lines 27-29). This discovery would not be inconsistent with the passage.
B: The author suggests that the Zurvanite conception of time as a sentient being was based in Babylonian speculations that time is cyclical, and so unending (lines 29-35). An early Zurvanite denial that history has an end (i.e., a claim that history and time do not end) would strengthen, not weaken the author’s argument.
C: The author very strongly argues that the Zurvanites committed “a deep and grievous heresy” by claiming that the two primal beings were brothers (lines 52-56). If Zoroaster himself made this claim, the Zurvanites would not in fact have “betrayed Zoroaster’s fundamental doctrine.”
D: The author does not argue that Zoroaster had no premonitory inkling of what heresies were to come. This discovery would have no effect on the author’s position.
Answer:
Yes. The author very strongly argues that the Zurvanites committed “a deep and grievous heresy” by claiming that the two primal beings were brothers (lines 52-56). If Zoroaster himself made this claim, the Zurvanites would not in fact have “betrayed Zoroaster’s fundamental doctrine.”

Answer: A. The company's net income will increase.
Explanation:
Based on the above scenario, the net income of the company will increase. From the new issue, it should be noted that there will be redemption of debt and therefore, there'll be reduction in the debt which will lead to lower interest expense.
It should be noted that the net income, which is also referred to as the net earnings, is simply the sales minus the cost of goods sold, interest, taxes and the general expenses. Since there's a lower interest expense, there'll be a rise in net income.
This is a key idea with international trade. This involves what is known as comparative advantage.
let's say country A can produce a ton of soybeans in 4 hours and a ton of corn in 2 hours. While country B can produce a ton of soybeans in 15 hours and a ton of corn in 5 hours.
Looking at this set up you can see that country A can produce both corn and soybeans faster, so they have an absolute advantage in both!
However what trade is based on is opportunity cost. So if we think about how much corn country A has to give up to produce soybeans, they have to divert a total of 4 hours from corn to soy beans to produce one ton of soy beans. That 4 hours could be used to produce 2 tons of corn (since 2 hours for 1 ton and we're taking away 4 hours!). So opportunity cost of soybeans in country A is 2 corn.
In country B they would need a total of 15 hours to produce one extra ton of soybeans, but those 15 hours could instead be used to produce 3 tons of corn (5 hours per ton and we're stealing 15 total hours). That means country B's opportunity cost is 3 corn.
Since A has a lower opportunity cost in produce soybeans they will specialize and B will specialize in corn.
Answer: The options are given below:
A) Dogs
B) Question marks
C) Stars
D) Cash cows
The correct option is D. Cash cows.
Explanation:
Products that are in slow-growing markets, but for which the company has a relatively large market share are considered Cash Cows, and it is expected of the company to milk the cash cow for as long as it can.
Cash cows, are typically leading products in markets that are mature.
Generally, a product that is designated as a Cash Cow will generate returns that are higher than the market's growth rate and sustain itself from a cash flow perspective.
The product should be taken advantage of for as long as possible. The value of cash cows can be calculated easily because their cash flow patterns are highly predictable.
In summary therefore, low-growth, high-share Cash Cows should be continuously milked for cash in order to reinvest in high-growth, high-share Stars that have a high future potential.
Answer:
$22.2222, $9.5238, respectively
Explanation:
The market-to-book ratio is given by a share's market value divided by its book value, if shares are selling for $100 on the market, the book value is:
The price to earnings ratio (PE ratio) is determined as a share's price divided by the earnings per share. Earnings per share are:
The book value per share and earnings per share are $22.2222, $9.5238, respectively
