Answer:

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

Explanation:

According to Thomas Malthus, overpopulation is the cause of the problems faced by human beings. He attributed diseases, malnutrition, and poverty to overpopulation.

Malthus argues that while resources grow at a steadfast pace, the population was increasing exponentially. He concludes that, if not checked, the human population will become too large to be supported by the earth's resources.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The average cost per tractor is $236

Explanation:

The average cost is calculated by dividing the sum of variable costs and fixed costs by the quantity of units produced.

Average cost per unit = Total cost of production/Quantity of units produced

Plowin' Supply plans to make 15,000 tractors with fixed costs are $ 540,000 and variable costs are $200 per tractor.

Total variable costs = 15,000 x $200 = $3,000,000

Total cost = Total variable costs + Fixed costs = $3,000,000 + $540,000 = $3,540,000

Average cost per tractor = $3,540,000/15,000 = $236

John, a limited partner of Candy Apple, LP, is allocated $30,000 of ordinary business loss from the partnership. Before the loss

allsm [11]

Answer: $5,000

Explanation:

First of all John's tax basis in Candy Apple is $20,000 and the losses are $30,000. $10,000 of the loss will therefore be suspended as it is more than his tax basis.

Of the remaining $20,000, a further $10,000 will be deducted due to his at-risk amount being $10,000 which means he can only be charged that $10,000.

As John is a limited partner in both Candy Apple and Red Tomato, this means that these are Passive incomes or losses for him and he can use then to offset one another. He will therefore use the $5,000 gained from Red Tomato to offset some of the losses from Candy Apple.

This leaves him with $5,000.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

He should not contribute the property to the partnership.

Explanation:

There is an ensuing loss if the partner contributes the property to the partnership instead of a gain. Partnerships recognize the basis of contributed capital. They usually compare the fair market value with the book value to determine if a loss has been incurred or a gain made. However, the tax consequences of the contributed property will be allocated to the partner making the property contribution.
