Answer:

A complete description of the problem and solutions to each point are given below.

Explanation:

The Logistic Growth model of a population is defined as follows:

                                   dP/dt = kP (1 - P/M) (1)

Where:

dP/dt is the population growth rate.

k is the maximal individual growth rate for a given population

P is the number of individual in the population

M= carrying capacity of the population.

In the problem this first order derivative ecuation is given by

                               dP/dt= 0,07P - 0,00014P² (2)

So, we can factorize ecuation (1) and compare it with (2) to find the carryng capacity and k value (questions 1 and 2).

                                        kP (1 - P/M) = 0,07P - 0,00014P²

                                        kP - (k/M)P² = 0,07P - 0,00014P²

Here kP = 0,07P ⇒ k = 0,07 (answer to question 2)

Then, (k/M)P² = 0,00014P²⇒ (k/M) = 0,00014 and given that k= 0,07

⇒ 0,07/M = 0,00014 ⇒ M = 0,07/0,00014 ⇒ M=500 (answer to question 1)

Finally to find for which values of P is the population increasing/decreasing, we have to find the values at which dP/dt is zero. Analyzing the equation as a quadratic function (applying Baskara´s equation) we find that the values at which dP/dt is zero are P= 0 and P = -1.

x = [-0,07 ± √(0,07²)]/ 0,14 ⇒ x=  [-0,07 ± 0,07)]/ 0,14 ⇒ x = 0 and x= -1.

Then the vertex here is P = -0,5.

Now we can state that for P greater than - 0,5 the population is decreasimg (question 4), while for values from -∞ to - 0,5 the population is increasing (question 3).

Summarizing, given the first order derivative, the carrying capacity of the population is 500, the value of k is 0,07, the values of P for which dP/dt is positive (incresing population) are those comprised in the range (-∞, -0,5) and those for which the population is decreasing are (-0,5,∞).

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The revenue recognition principle

Explanation:

The revenue recognition principle states that revenue should be recorded when services have been performed or products have been delivered to customers and  not when cash is received for the service rendered

For example, if a supplier delivers 10,000 worth of goods to consumers in November and is paid for the goods in December. Revenue should be recognised in November and not December.

Here are incomplete financial statements for BLOSSOM, Inc. Calculate the missing amounts
Otrada [13]

Answer:

(A) net income: 20,000

(B) COGS = 55,000

(C) Common Stock = 30,000

Explanation:

(A) with the RE statemtn we sovle for RE

net income = ending RE - beginning RE + dividends

net income = 27,000 - 12,000 + 5,000 = 20,000

(B) With the net income we solve for COGS

COGS= revenues - net income - salaries and wages

COGS = 85,000 - 20,000 - 10,000 = 55,000

(C) now we solve for common stock

liab + equity = total liab and stockholders equity

account payable + common stock + RE = total liab and stockholders equity

5,000 + CS + 27,000 = 62,000

CS = 62,000 - 27,000 - 5,000 = 30,000
