If the budget of a valley glacier were balanced for an extended time span, what feature would you expect to find at the terminus

of the glacier? Is it composed of till or stratified drift? Now assume that the glacier’s budget changes so that wastage exceeds accumulation. How would the terminus of the glacier change? Describe the deposit you would expect to form under these conditions.

Answer:

Explanation:

The budget of a boundary is determined by snowline. The boundary between a snow patched surface and a snow free surface is known as the snow line.

The snow falling is been divided by the snowline into two categories:Zone of accumulation and zone of wastage.

Where the snow accumulation, ice formation occur is known as zone of accumulation. The glacier thickens more upon the addition of snow,and it moves down the whole mass of snow.

Zone of wastage occurs when glaciers melt, glaciers breakdown to cross the  snowline.

A balance between the ice accumulated in the zone of accumulation and the zone of wastage is known as glacier budget. A balance in the glacier budget leads to an extension in the glacier margin to the zone of accumulation and the terminus of a glacier becomes stationary.

In a case where the glacier budget has more wastage than accumulation, the ice-font retreats. When there is an increase in the trend of warming, there will also be an increase in the zone of wastage. The decrease in snow fall decreases the zone of accumulation, thus causing the ice-font to retreat.

The extent zone of wastage decreases upon the termination of retreat in the glacier. Thus a new balance will be achieved in time between the wastage and accumulation, and the ice-font becomes stationary.

The ice present in the glacier keeps moving forward, regardless of whether the ice front is stationary, or moving either forward or backward.

In the diminishing glacier base, the ice keeps flowing forward, and not at a greater speed to attain wastage.

MariettaO [177]

The research and testing costs associated with the new ovens is said to arise from a product-sustaining activity.

Explanation:

Product-sustaining activities are carried out where appropriate to facilitate the production of each product type. Types of design-sustaining practices include product requirements, technical improvements and special testing procedures.

Such costs may be assigned to each commodity but are not proportional to the number of manufactured units or quantities. Organisation-sustaining operations support the overall production cycle of an organisation.

The ventilation and maintenance of the building, the protection of the facility and the administration are examples of safe facilities.

Products are allocated the costs for the operations at a unit level, batch level and component level depending on the consumption of each commodity. Goods are distributed randomly or viewed as time expense for purpose of facility-sustaining operations.

Taxes on goods with ___________ demand curves will tend to raise more tax revenue for the government than taxes on goods with __
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Taxes on goods with INELASTIC demand curves will tend to raise more tax revenue for the government than taxes on goods with ELASTIC.

Goods with inelastic demand are insensitive to price. An increase price of the goods for example from an increase in tax on the goods will have no significant effect in the quantity demanded. Consumers will still buy it with an higher. So taxing this goods is a good source of revenue for the government.

Whereas goods with elastic demand are very sensitive to rice. Any slight increase in price will result in a significant decrease in quantity demanded. So government increasing tax on this good will be bad for its tax revenue because consumers won't be it

1. Garage rent is fixed Manufacturing Overhead because he will pay a fixed rent amount every month.

2. Utilities is fixed Manufacturing Overhead because he will pay a fixed amount every month.

3. Cost of the industrial design course  is Sunk because the cost has been spent already

4. Equipment rented  is fixed Manufacturing Overhead because he will pay a fixed amount every month.

5. Material cost  is variable because it will depend on how much produced every month.

6. Labor cost  is variable because it will depend on how much produced every month.

7. Present salary  is an Opportunity cost because wont earn salary anymore when he starts the business; this is also differential because it is the difference between the cost of the two alternative decisions
