ollegr [7]

Answer:

$13,000

Explanation:

Given that:

Jeremy operates a business as a sole proprietorship which uses a cash method of accounting. Now he is planning transfer them into a new corporation in exchange for its stock.

The assets are :

$10,000 of accounts receivable with a zero basis

have a basis of $20,000 and an FMV of $40,000

Liabilities

payable of $12,000

The note payable on medical equipment is $7,000.

Therefore , Jeremy's basis for his stock is : $20,000 -$7,000 = $13,000

Suppose the current price of a good is $195. At this price, the quantity supplied is 160 units, and the quantity demanded is 200

KonstantinChe [14]

• eqm Q = 175

• eqm P = $ 190

<u>Explanation:</u>

At current price, Quantity Demanded is less than Quantity supplied

As Qd = 200, Qs = 160

• so market is currently experiencing a deficiency, as Qd > Qs

•so to adjust, market price will incraese,

so that Quantity Demanded decrease & Quantity supplied increases, till Qd = Qs

• eqm Q = 175

• eqm P = $ 190

As if P falls by 1, then P = 194

Qd = 200 minus 5= 195

Qs = 160 plus 3= 163

If P = 193, Qd = 190, Qs = 166

If P = 191, Qd = 180, Qs = 172

P = 190, Qd = 175, Qs = 175

Keystone predators can maintain species diversity in a community if they

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The options are given below:

A) competitively exclude other predators.

B) prey on the community's dominant species.

C) allow immigration of other predators.

D) reduce the number of disruptions in the community.

E) prey only on the least abundant species in the community.

the correct option is B

Explanation:

Keystone species refers to a predator which prevents a particular herbivorous species from wiping out the dominant plant species. If the number of prey are low, the keystone predators can be less abundant and still be effective. Keystone species have a disproportionately large effect on its environment relative to its abundance.

Therefore, by preying on a community's dominant species, keystone predators help to maintain the species diversity in the community, because they ensure that the dominant predators do not totally wipe out the various organisms present in the ecosystem.
