Answer:The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States (Article VI, Clause 2), establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the "supreme Law of the Land", and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws.
Explanation:
Answer:
(a) (i) Define the term "Green Revolution" as used during the period 1945 to 1985.
- The use of modern agricultural techniques became widespread around many regions in the world. This led to higher yields through the use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.
(ii) Explain the principal agricultural practices/technologies associated with the green revolution.
- extensive use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.
(iii) Name TWO regions, in different parts of the world, where the green revolution has had a significant impact on crop yields.
- In North America, Mexican food production increased and they stopped importing food. Although currently that has reversed, and it is importing even more food than before.
- In Brazil, agricultural production increased dramatically. Both total farmed area and yields have continued to increase in the past years becoming a threat to the amazon basin.
(b) Identify and discuss TWO social, political, or cultural conditions necessary for the success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.
- Emigration from rural areas to urban areas which resulted in a rapid expansion of urban centers. Since less labor was needed in farms, many people left rural areas due to lack of jobs.
- People started accepting genetically modified crops, which were not well accepted at first. A lot of money was invested in research and development of new seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
(c) Identify and discuss TWO significant economic or ecological factors that may limit the long-term success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.
- Many new agricultural techniques have resulted in a decrease of soil fertility. In many places crops cannot grow unless a lot of fertilizer is used.
- Countries were the green revolution was originally successful, like Mexico (where it started), have reduced the total area dedicated to crops. As the yields increased, the price of food started to decrease and many small farms could not keep operating.
Ur at a 50:50 chance of getting right. Just guess :p
Answer:
$953 per unit
Explanation:
For computing the average cost per unit first we have to determine the operating capacity at 85% after that the total cost which is shown below:
Operating capacity at 85% is
= 300 computers × 85%
= 255 computers
Now the total cost is
= Variable cost + Fixed cost
where,
Variable cost is
= $660 × 255 computers
= $168,300
And, the fixed cost is $74,700
So, the total cost is
= $168,300 + $74,700
= $243,000
Now the average cost per unit is
= $243,000 ÷ 255 computers
= $953 per unit
Answer:
1. Inside the dorm room, the movies are <em>Non-Rival</em> which means that one person can watch the movie and it will not diminish the ability of others to watch as well.
Also as they are all in the same dorm, the showing of the movie is <em>Non-Excludable</em> as well because no one can stop the other from watching.
Public good is both Non-Rival and Non-Excludable so the showing of a movie IS a public good.
2.
Musashi Sean Bob Eric Total Willingness to pay
10 9 8 3 30
8 7 6 2 23
6 5 4 1 16
4 3 2 0 9
2 1 0 0 3
The optimal number of movies that can be rented is dependent on their total willingness to pay. If their Total willingness to pay for the movie is above $8 which is the cost of a movie, then they will get it. From the table, the fifth movie is below the price of $8 so they <u>should rent 4 movie</u>s.
3. If they rent 4 movies and there are 4 of them then the cost per person is;
= (8 *4)/4 people
= 24/4
= $8
This means that each roommate will pay <u>$8</u>.
