Business
1 answer:
timama [110]3 years ago

Answer:

Futures contracts are derivatives. Their price is derived from one or more underlying assets. Due to their nature as commodities, a buyer can agree to purchase at a predetermined price; and a seller can agree to sell that quantity at the agreed-upon price.

A real estate agent is considering changing her land line phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

PLAN A:

(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40

PLAN B:

(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40

PLAN C:

$20 + $75 = $95 ;

PLAN A is optimal from 0 to 192 minutes

PLAN C is optimal from 192 minutes onward ;

Explanation:

PLAN A :

Service charge = $20

Daytime = $0.39 per minute

Evening = $0.19 per minute

PLAN B :

Service charge = $20

Daytime = $0.49 per minute

Evening = $0.14 per minute

PLAN C :

Service charge = $20

225 minutes = $75

Minutes beyond 225 = $0.36 per minute

A.)

Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.

PLAN A:

(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40

PLAN B:

(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40

PLAN C:

$20 + $75 = $95

b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?

PLAN A:

20 + 0.39D = 95

0.39D = 95 - 20

D = 75 / 0.39

D = 192.31

g The "monetary base" is simply: a. the total of all currency in circulation, outside banks b. the total vault cash held among a
Zanzabum

Answer:

e. the total of currency in circulation, plus depository institution reserves and vault cash

Explanation:

Monetary base is a concept in money supply that measures highly liquid assets in an economy.

It includes all cash that is in circulation in the economy and those deposits that are held as reserves by the central bank from commercial banks. Cash in bank vaults are also included because they are readily available to the economy.

For example if there is $200 million in circulation and there is $13 billion in the central bank as reserves from commercial banks, the total monetary base is $13.2 billion

using a perpetual inventory system, what is recorded when a customer returns a product and gets the cash back and the product is
likoan [24]

A credit to cash, a debit to sales returns and allowances, a credit to inventory, and a debit to cost of goods sold are all recorded.

Perpetual inventory, commonly referred to as continuous inventory, is an inventory management system that uses software to automatically and constantly record each stock movement (such as purchases, returns, consumptions, and write-offs), keeping the system current at all times.

This contrasts with the need to manually update the system on a regular basis when utilizing spreadsheets or paper-and-pencil alternatives.

Barcodes, POS systems, radio frequency identification, and real-time reporting are used by perpetual inventory systems like MRP, ERP, or WMS software to track inventory movements and build a virtual trail of each transaction occurring in the physical inventory. This makes it possible to perform extremely accurate real-time inventory accounting, giving the business a current cost of goods sold at all times.

What was Thomas Malthus’s theory of population growth?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

A population would grow faster than its ability to feed itself.

Explanation:

Thomas Malthus' theory, in my personal beliefs, is remarkably accurate and quite rational. He argued that if one were to have a country/population left unchecked, as in without any form of administration, government, or central authority to balance it, that a population would thus outgrow its resources and thus result in overpopulation and a lack of necessities... something that may, perhaps, lead to eventual extinction.

This is fairly factual when you think of the contemporary age. The earth was previously believed to have a carrying capacity of about 2-40 billion people, an argument that eventually centered on around 7 billion. Today, the earth's maximum carrying capacity is generally percieved to be about 9 billion people. In this age, we currently are nearing 8 billion.

This. Is. An. Issue.

A plethora of earth's resources that life itself depends on is LIMITED. Our freshwater reserves are limited. The amount of animals on this planet, a source of food, is <em>also </em>limited. The amount of plants on this planet, significant sources of energy, food, oxygen, and all sorts of natural processes that keep everything alive, are, unfortunately, limited.

This demands that humans figure a way to require less of these precious resources, fast. By the year of 2150, we'll likely have surpassed our carrying capacity.

For the issue of food, there are options. The primary issue is that humans are omnivores, as in, we love both plants AND animals... in our stomach's, of course. A prime example is myself! Personally, I couldn't live without beef, but I <em>definitely </em>couldn't or wouldn't want to survive without spinach and broccoli, because they are absolutely delicious.

However, despite humans being omnivores, we stubbornly refuse to eat our veggies. . . meaning a mass majority of us prefer to eat meat. We breed our animals to have offspring, giving us more meat. We generically enhance or even create our meat. We love meat.

The issue being that meat is a terrible source of energy. Remember, energy comes from sources of life itself, like the sun! PLANTS take the mass majority of this energy in, not animals. Animals EAT the plants, to where as much as 80% of that initial energy source is lost, disappearing into nothing, and meaning only roughly 20% is absorbed into the animal upon eating the said plant. Then, and only then, HUMANS come to eat the animal, in which 80% of that initial 20% is also lost between these stages.

As you can see, humans end up with barely any amount of this vital energy, simply because we love meat. We feed the plants to the animals to keep them healthy so WE can then eat the said animals, thus resulting in a HUGE loss of energy. We use our land for pastures. We give other resources (like water) to the animals, again, so we can eventually consume them.

The earth is going to run out of resources at one point or another, but our current consumption habits will likely hasten this process as far as freshwater and food.

Ofc, it shouldn't need to be said that if we were ALL to switch to primarily plant-only consumption, we'd probably be set. Getting rid of all our pastures and replacing them with massive farms would give is a surplus of plants, which are remarkably better sources of energy and will thus be able to sustain humans much, much longer. We won't have to worry as much about starving.

Then again, you must ALSO worry about the fragility of plants. They can easily be detroyed by natural disastors and are dependant upon environmental conditions such as weather temperature, climate, and soil. These factors are very limiting, but then you must additionally remember the amount of care they require, as well as they are extremely vunerable to mass destruction (like droughts, burning, flooding, etc., which can wipe out a LOT at once).

Obviously it's a give-or-take thing.

Malthus said it right, three hundred years ago.

I get the length of this post was probably uneccesary but you asked a very good question that gave me an excuse to cover something in-depth.

I am inevitable.
