Since the units can be produced within existing plant capacity, the special order will not increase fixed costs. Let’s identify the relevant data for the decision. First, the variable
manufacturing costs will increase $30000 (15000×2). Second, the expected revenue will increase $37500 (15000×2.5). Thus, will increase its net income by $7500 (37500-30000) by accepting this special order.
What are complementary goods? Explain how a change in the price of a complementary good can act as a demand shifter.
Answer:
The consultant's advice will reduce soil degradation and increase organic matter content in soil
Explanation:
In this scenario the present practice by the farmer of burning crop residue and tilling results in soil degradation and loss of organic matter.
Burning on the farm leads to loss of crop nutrients such as nitrogen and organic matter. It also causes environmental pollution of air, land, and water when carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur by-products are released to the atmosphere.
Tillage is the practice of turning the top 6 - 12 cm of soil when preparing for planting. This practice reduces water holding capacity of soil, accelerates nutrient loss, and degrades soil structure.
So if the farmer stops burning crop residue and practices zero tillage it will result in less environmental pollution, reduce soil degradation, and increase soil nutrients especially organic matter
The answer is d by the way
