The $1,724,000 is the investment amount which is to be recorded as of December 31.

Explanation:

For computing the investment income, the calculation is shown below:

= Paid value + net income percentage - dividend

where,

Paid value= $1.6 million

Net income percentage = Net income × percentage

                                        = $560,000 × 40%

                                        = $224,000

And, dividend = number of shares × per share

                       = 50,000 × 2

                       = $100,000

So, the investment amount would be

= Paid amount + net income percentage - dividend

= $1,600,000 + $224,000 - $100,000

= $1,724,000

Hence, the $1,724,000 is the investment amount which is to be recorded as of December 31.

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
