The reason that they do this because rotating crops has the capability of keeping the nitrogen from being depleted in the soil as nitrogen fixing bacteria are likely to be found in the nodules of the roots of the soybeans and not on the corn’s roots that makes soybeans the next after the corn is planted first.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Allocated administrative cost for mixing is $81000

And allocated administrative cost for for bottling is $81000

Explanation:

We have given total number of employs for mixing = 350

And total number of employs for bottling = 350

Administrative cost = $162000

So total number of employs = 350+350 = 700

So allocation base for mixing $=\frac{350}{700}=0.5$

So allocated amount for mixing = 0.5×$162000 = $81000

Allocation base for bottling = $=\frac{350}{700}=0.5$

So allocated amount for bottling = 0.5×$162000 = $81000

a boy is three years younger than his sister. two years ago he was two-thirds of his sister's age. what are their present ages

padilas [110]

Answer:

The boy: 8 years old

The sister: 11 years old

Explanation:

We assume that the age at present of the boy is x (years old).

As he is younger than his sister 3 years, so that his sister's present age is great than x 3 years

=> Her present age is: x + 3 (years old)

Two years ago, the boy is younger than present two years

=> The boy's age two years ago is: x - 2 (years old)

Similarly, the sister's age two years ago is: (x+3)-2 = x + 1 (years old)

As given, two years ago he was two-thirds of his sister's age, so that we have:

The boy's age two years ago = $\frac{2}{3}$ × the sister's age two years ago

⇒ $x - 2 = \frac{2}{3}(x+1)$

⇒ $x - 2 = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}$

⇒ $x - \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{2}{3} + 2$

⇒ $\frac{1}{3} x = \frac{8}{3}$

⇒ $x = \frac{8}{3}. 3 = 8$

=> x + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11

So the present age of the boy is 8 years old, of the sister is 11 years old

Reserves decrease if the Federal Reserve?a. raises the discount rate or auctions more credit. b. raises the discount rate but no

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

D. lowers the discount rate but not if it auctions more credit

Explanation:

Discount rate adjustment and Federal Reserve's auction have the following effects on reserves.

Discount rate adjustment: a higher discount rate will encourage investment in the US economy, thus leading to increased reserves as investment inflows increase.

On the other hand, a lower discount rate encourages investment outflow into other jurisdictions with higher yields, thus reducing reserves.

Auction: auctioning more credit will result in the movement of investment flows into the Federal Reserve (an increase in reserves) as investors invest in auctions. Vice versa.

Therefore, a mix of lower discount rate and not auctioning more credit will result in lower reserves.
