As non-slave owning northerners and slave owning southerners could not agree on a route, the issue of slavery complicated the proposal to build a transcontinental railroad in the 1850s.

During the 1850s, slavery was already a huge issue and one of the most controversial acts during this era was the Fugitive Slave Law or Fugitive Slave Act,

If the supply curve and the demand curve for lettuce both shift to the left by an equal amount, what can we say about the result

Anna [14]

Answer:

d. The price will stay the same, but the quantity will increase.

Explanation:

When the demand and supply both fall, the equilibrium quantity will definately fall but the price will remain the same. The new supply adapts to the reduction of the demand.

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 3km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refi

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$6,598,076.21

Explanation:

<h2>THE KEY IS TO FIND OUT THE COST FUNCTION, the calculations are very easy!!!</h2><h2></h2><h3>In order to find the cost function, take a look at the drawing attached. </h3>

We can see the river (sort of) that is 3 km wide and the storage tanks on the other side of the river 8 km apart.

<h3 />

Laying pipes under (across) the river costs 1,000,000 the km & laying pipes over land costs 500,000 per km.

<h3 /><h3>So basically the cost function is 1,000,000 multiplied by something plus 500,000 multiplied by another something.</h3><h3 />

The distance across the river can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem. A side is 3 km the other is unknown, so we call it X. And it is equal to:

$\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2}}=\\\sqrt{9 +x^{2}}$

And we multiply it by 1,000,000; the cost of laying pipe under the river, the we get:

$1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}$

The distance over the land is (8-x), as we can see in the drawing. So we multiply it by its cost, 500,000. And we get 500,000(8-x).

So the cost function f(x) would be:

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)$

<h2>From here, we just have to differentiate and the derivative found must be equal to zero in order to minimize cost. </h2><h3>The value of x when the derivative is zero is plugged in the original function to get the cost.</h3><h3 /><h2>LET'S DO THIS</h2>

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(x)=1000000(9+x^{2})^{1/2}+4000000-500000x\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2} 1000000(9+x^{2})^{-1/2}(2x)-500000\\\\f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000$

$f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000=0\\\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 500000\\\frac{2x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 1\\2x={\sqrt{9+x^2}}\\4x^2=9+x^2\\3x^2=9\\x^2=3\\x=\sqrt{3} \\$

And we plug square root of 3 in the original cost function ad we get

$f(\sqrt{3} )=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+(\sqrt{3} )^{2}} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+3} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{12}+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000(3.46)+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=3464101.62+3133974.60\\f(\sqrt{3})=6598076.21\\$

<h2>so the minimal cost is $6,598,076.21</h2><h2 /><h3 />

In 20X5, Elm Corp. bought 10,000 shares of Oil Corp. at a cost of $20,000. On January 15, 20X6, Elm declared a property dividend

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

c) $25,000

Explanation:

A property dividend should be recorded in retained earnings at the property's <u>market value at date of declaration.</u>

<u>The date of declaration is the date on which the firm has made the commitment to pay the dividend. The market value on this date is the value that was considered when the board made the decision to distribute a property dividend and thus is the appropriate measure of the sacrifice to the firm. </u>

<u> </u>In application to the scenario, <u>the property dividend will be recorded in retained earnings at the market value at the date of declaration which is Jan 15 </u>NOT on the day it is payable.

Hence, retained earnings will reduce by $25,000

In 20X5, Elm Corp. bought 10,000 shares of Oil Corp. at a cost of $20,000. On January 15, 20X6, Elm declared a property dividend of the Oil stock to shareholders of record on February 1, 20X6, payable on February 15, 20X6. During 20X6, the Oil stock had the following market values:

January 15

$25,000

February 1
