Answer: Some employers and workers will agree on a wage less than $20 and not report the wages to the government; black market

Explanation: When the minimum wage is set above the equilibrium wage it leads to a surplus of labor in the market. There are more job seekers than the firms demand at the minimum wage of $20. Thus, the only possible option will be that some employers and workers will agree on a wage less than $20 and not report the wages to the government. When this happens it leads to black marketing. Black market is an underground economy the transactions of which are not reported to the government.

Trout farming is a perfectly competitive industry and all trout farms have the same cost curves.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units

(ii)  The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down

(iii)  The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)

Explanation:

(i)According to given data,  When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.

(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.

(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).

Monsanto just came out with a new genetically modified seed that it believes will increase crop yields. The seed has been modifi
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The answer is genetically engineered food or genetically engineered crop.

Explanation:

The scientists inform the farmers during the visit about how the seeds will increase their crop yields. This is most likely an example of____genetically engineered food______.

Because Mosanto modified the seeds DNA to improve than. Most of us have been eating genetically modified food for the past twenty years without knowing. And, in my opinion, that is the reason why we have more cancer, infertility, syndromes, and our kids are achieving puberty earlier. More than 50 different designers crops have passed through federal review process and about a hundred more are undergoing field trials.

The whole issue is that we totally lost control of what we are actually eating.

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change:   -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of  the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

<em><u>For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity</u></em>

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\

PV $187.3546

<u><em>For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:</em></u>

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV  

PV   761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity  $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\

PV $657.5166

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   40.00

rate  0.0465

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV  

PV   162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m  $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%

g define the process of accommodation in the mechanism of focusing by the eye. what factors lead to age-related changes in accom
Luba_88 [7]

The accommodative ability changes greatly because of age-related changes in the eye, including a decrease in the elasticity of the lens and the degeneration of the Zonular fibers and the ciliary muscles surrounding the lens.

The process of accommodation, or focusing on near objects, happened by a concerted action of the ciliary muscle on the zonule fibers which hold the lens in place. The ciliary muscle can be described as a ring of smooth muscle that, upon contraction, relaxes the tension on the zonular fibers and allows the lens to become more spherical.
