How will the consultant's advice help make a change in the environment in the scenario below: A farmer has practiced burning fie

lds after each crop season in order to get rid of the leftover crop matter, and then tilled the land before planting new crops. He recently hired a consultant to see what he could do to make more environmentally conscious choices, and the consultant advised the farmer to stop burning and tilling and instead practice zero tillage farming, using the leftover crop matter to make his own fertilizer.

Answer:

The consultant's advice will reduce soil degradation and increase organic matter content in soil

Explanation:

In this scenario the present practice by the farmer of burning crop residue and tilling results in soil degradation and loss of organic matter.

Burning on the farm leads to loss of crop nutrients such as nitrogen and organic matter. It also causes environmental pollution of air, land, and water when carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur by-products are released to the atmosphere.

Tillage is the practice of turning the top 6 - 12 cm of soil when preparing for planting. This practice reduces water holding capacity of soil, accelerates nutrient loss, and degrades soil structure.

So if the farmer stops burning crop residue and practices zero tillage it will result in less environmental pollution, reduce soil degradation, and increase soil nutrients especially organic matter

There are zero coupon bonds outstanding that have a YTM of 5.97 percent and mature in 19 years. The bonds have a par value of $1
Fed [463]

Answer:

market price = $1,104.20

Explanation:

yield to maturity of zero coupon bonds = (face value / market price)¹/ⁿ - 1

  • YTM = 5.97%
  • n = 19 x 2 = 38
  • face value = $10,000

(face value / market price)¹/ⁿ = YTM + 1

face value / market price = (YTM + 1)ⁿ

market price = face value / (YTM + 1)ⁿ

market price = $10,000 / 1.0597³⁸ = $10,000 / 9.0563 = $1,104.20

16. GDP Growth Consider the following data on U.S. GDP: Year GDP (Billions of current dollars) (Billions of 2009 dollars) 2011 1
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The percentage change in nominal GDP from 2013 to 2014 was 4.29%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was 1.48%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was higher than the percentage change in real GDP from 2011 to 2012. FALSE

Explanation:

In order to calculate this we just have to calculate the percentages with a rule of thirds:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}

To calculate the first one we use the nominal GDP which is the GDP with the current market value:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{16,663.2}{100}= \frac{17,348.1 }{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(17,348.1}{16,663.2} \\x=4.29%

To calculate the change in real GDP we use the values adapted to a pre-agreed monetary value, in this case the dollar at 2009:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{15,354.6}{100}= \frac{15,583.3}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,583.3}{15,354.6} \\x=1.48%

To calculate the 2011 to 2012 we insert the values:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{ 15,020.6}{100}= \frac{15,354.6}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,354.6}{ 15,020.6} \\x=2.22%

So with this we know that it is wasn´t higher the percentage change from 2012-2013, than that of 2011-2012

Olivia is willing to pay $185 a month for four years for a car payment. if the interest rate is 4.9 percent, compounded monthly,
Grace [21]
Let x = the price of the car that Olivia can afford.

Down payment = $2,500
Remaining amount to be financed is P = x - 2500.

Total payments should equal the monthly payments.
The total payment over 4 years (48 months) is
A  = $185*48 = $8,880

The rate is r = 4.9% = 0.049.
The compounding interval is n = 12.
The time is t = 4  years.
The amount financed is P = $(x - 2500).
Therefore
(x - 2500)(1 + 0.049/12)⁴⁸ = 8880
1.216(x - 2500) = 8880
x - 2500 = 7302.63
x = 9802.63
Olivia can afford a car priced at $9,802.63.

Answer: $9,802.63

A wiki is probably the best of the choices presented, because it's editable by everyone.  But wikis get out of control pretty quickly if nobody is assigned to be the wiki-keeper.

Forum software can actually be the best approach, because forums can be divided into different topics for different projects, and posts in chronological order (with attachments) help everybody keep track of what happened when.
