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

ed to withstand drought, and it kills insects that frequently feed on it. This is important especially because insects have begun developing a tolerance for many of Monsanto's genetically modified seeds already out on the market.
Because these seeds are new to the market, Monsanto wants to engage in a major integrated marketing communications campaign. It knows that it will have to convince farmers about the advantages of its new seeds and invites some of its major customers to its laboratory to see how the seeds are created. The scientists inform the farmers during the visit about how the seeds will increase their crop yields. This is most likely an example of__________.

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.

arlik [135]

Answer:

0.539

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against the change in price of the product. It shows how much demand changes if there is the change in price.

Under mid-point method the price elasticity can be calculated as follow

where

S = Quantity

P = Price

Change in Quantity = ( S2 - S1 ) / [ ( S2 + S1 )/2 ]

Change in Quantity = ( 6,060 - 7,070 ) / [ ( 6,060 + 7,070 )/2 ]

Change in Quantity = -1,010 / 6,565

Change in Quantity = -0.153846

Change in price = ( P2 - P1 ) / [ ( P2 + P1 )/2 ]

Change in price = ( $4,004 - $3,003 ) / [ ( $4,004 + $3,003 )/2 ]

Change in price  = $1,001 / $3,503.5

Change in price  = 0.285714

Elasticity of Supply = Change in Quantity / Change in Price

Elasticity of Supply = -0.153846 / 0.285714 = -0.5385

Elasticity of Supply = -0.539

Nicole is a calendar-year taxpayer who accounts for her business using the cash method. On average, Nicole sends out bills for a
BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) I guess that Nicole bills $12,000 per month, not $512,000.

Assuming that the last time Nicole billed her customers was November, she was able to collect $11,760 before the year ended. I will also assume that the remaining $240 are uncollectible.

If Nicole postpones billing her customers during December, her taxable income as a cash basis taxpayer will decrease by $12,000 x 70% = $8,400

she will be able to save $8,400 x 2% = $168 in current taxes, but she will have to pay them next year anyways.

b) The time value of money should affect Nicole's calculations because she is saving the interests that could be earned by $168 in 1 year. We are not given any specific interest rate but we could use 6% as an example. Nicole will gain $168 x 6% = $10.08

But she will also lose potential interests earned on the $8,400 that she billed later. Using the same interest rate, 6%, she will lose $8,400 x 6% x 1/12 (only 1 month) = $42.

That means that the net result from this = $10.08 - $42 = -$31.92.

As you can see, Nicole is losing money. The higher the interest rate, the more money she will lose.

c) The risk of increasing uncollectible accounts will always exist. Nicole already has around 2% of uncollectible accounts, and combining two bills at one time might lead to a higher percentage of uncollectible accounts. Of course, this depends on her clients, but the risk will increase a little bit or a lot, but it will increase.

An analysis and aging of the accounts receivable of Hugh Company at December 31 revealed the following data: Accounts Receivable
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

$844,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Accounts Receivable = $900,000

Credit balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts per books before adjustment = $50,000

Expected amount of uncollectible = $56,000

Bad debt expense at the end of the period is determined by subtracting the credit balance of allowance for doubtful accounts from the expected amount of uncollectible.

Bad debt expense:

= Expected amount of uncollectible - Credit balance

= $56,000 - $50,000

= $6,000

At the end of the period, the allowance for doubtful accounts has a balance of $56,000 that are to be uncollectible.

The cash realizable value of the accounts receivable at December 31, after adjustment, is determined by simply subtracting the Allowance for doubtful accounts  from the accounts receivable. It is calculated as follows:

= Accounts Receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts

= $900,000 - $56,000

= $844,000

A firm is producing 24 units of output. At the 24th unit of output, marginal revenue is $5, and marginal cost is $4; at the 25th
agasfer [191]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

(1) Units produced = 24 units of output

At the 24th unit of output,

Marginal revenue = $5

Marginal cost = $4

MR ≠ MC

At the 25th unit of output,

Marginal revenue = $4.50

Marginal cost = $4.50

MR = MC

At the 26th unit of output,

Marginal revenue = $4

Marginal cost = $5

MR ≠ MC

A firm maximizes its profit at a point where the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost i.e. MR = MC.

It is clear from the above scenario that this firm doesn't stop at 24 units of output because at this point of production profit maximizing condition is not fulfilled which means MR ≠ MC.

This firm should stopped at 25 units of output where marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost from the 25th unit of output.

marta [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option B, GreyHound Bus System.

Explanation:

Greyhound Bus System is considered to be the generic competitor for Southwest Airline. Generic competitors are the ones who have different products or provide different services but the purpose of the product or service remains the same.

So the Greyhound Bus System and Southwest Airline both provide different services, as Greyhound bus system allows travelling through bus while Southwest Airlines allow travelling through aircraft, but the purpose of both the companies remain same, which is to travel or to transport people from one place to another. So these both companies will be the generic competitor of each other.
