The question is incomplete:

If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.

Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

b. increasing at a decreasing rate.

c. increasing at a constant rate.

d. decreasing.

Answer:

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.

You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.

Gwen inherited 100 shares of supershoes stock when her mother died on october 21, 2015; the fair market value of the stock was $
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Gwen should report a $3,000 long-term capital gain in her income tax return.

In this question the price paid by Gwen’s mother for the shares is irrelevant because of her death.

The stock’s fair market value ($20) when Gwen inherited the shares (21st October 2015) is Gwen stepped up value.

Gwen’s gain from selling the shares is:

Gain / (Loss) = (Selling Price per share - Stepped up value per share) * Number of shares

Gain = (50 - 20) *100

Gain = $3,000

Gwen inherited the shares on (21st October 2015) and held the shares until (3rd july 2017), so she held the shares for more than one year after inheriting it.  So, she will report a long-term capital gain on her income tax return.

Assume a drought in the Great Plains reduces the supply of wheat. Noting that wheat is a basic ingredient in the production of b
tatyana61 [14]

Answer: a. rise, the supply of bread to decrease, and the demand for potatoes to increase.

Explanation:

According to the Economic law of SUPPLY AND DEMAND, less supply means HIGHER prices simply because the good is becoming scarce not unlike fuel during global oil shortages.

Now, we are told that the drought reduced the supply for wheat which means the SUPPLY of wheat has DECREASED and this will translate to the SUPPLY of Bread DECREASING as well. According to the aforementioned law, prices of Bread will therefore RISE.

Since Bread prices have risen, people will seek alternatives to bread as they may not want to pay the high price. This will lead them to choosing the alternative to bread which in this case are Potatoes which would therefore INCREASE the DEMAND for potatoes.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

A.$130

B. $13,130

Explanation:

Loan taken at the beginning of april in order to maintain cash balance of $40,000 = $40,000 - $27,200 = $12,800 = $13,000 (Increment of $1,000)

Interest payment estimated for april = $13,000*12%*1/12 = $130

Solution b:

Cash balance at the end of april = $27,200 + $13,000 - $130 = $40,070

Cash balance at the end of may before financing effect = Cash balance at the beginning + Excess of cash collected over cash payments

= $40,070 + $31,200 = $71,270

Total financin effect for may = Loan repayment + Interest repayment = $13,000 + $13,000*12%*1/12 = $13,130
