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.

On January 1, 2021, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $115,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 1
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

1. $11,000 each year

2. $23,000 and $18,400

3. $15,000 and $12,500

Explanation:

The calculation of the depreciation expense for the 2021 and 2022 is shown below:

1. Straight-line method:

= (Purchase value of equipment - estimated residual value) ÷ (estimated service life)

= ($115,000 - $5,000) ÷ (10 years)

= ($110,000) ÷ (10 years)  

= $11,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life  i.e for 2021 also the same depreciation is applied i.e $11,000

2. Double-declining balance method:

First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is

= One ÷ estimated service life

= 1 ÷ 10

= 10%

Now the rate is double So, 20%

In year 1, the original cost is $115,000, so the depreciation is $23,000 after applying the 20% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $(115,000 - $23,000) × 20% = $18,400

3. Units-of-production method:

= (Purchase value of equipment - estimated residual value) ÷ (estimated production units)

= ($115,000 - $5,000) ÷ ($220,000 units)

= ($110,000) ÷ (220,000 units)  

= $0.5 per units

For 2021, it would be

= Production units in 2021 year × depreciation per unit

= 30,000 units × $0.5

= $15,000

Now for the 2022, it would be  

= Production units in 2022 year × depreciation per unit

= 25,000 units × $0.5

= $12,500

If the Federal Reserve tightens the money supply, other things held constant, short-term interest rates will be pushed upward, a
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

Tightening monetary policy or curbing money supply in an economy is a move by Federal Reserve to control inflation or bring down over-heated economic growth.

Money supply is curbed by increasing short-term interest rates, thereby increasing cost of borrowing and making borrowing less attractive to public. This increase in short-term rates, also called Federal fund rates are usually greater than long-term interest rates prevailing in the market.
