Answer:
a. The Bt toxin could negatively affect the taste of the food that is produced from these crops.
c. The Bt toxin could result in the death of non-pest species of insects. d. The Bt gene could ultimately make the plants pathogenic to humans.
Explanation:
Genetically engineered crops couldn't harm the economy. They are made to benefit economy, as it's shown in the following quote:
"The commercialization of genetically modified (GM) crops has continued to occur at a rapid rate, with important changes in both the overall level of adoption and impact occurring in 2012.
This annual updated analysis shows that there have been very significant net economic benefits at the farm level amounting to $18.8 billion in 2012 and $116.6 billion for the 17-year period (in nominal terms)."

Answer:
A) horizontal
Explanation:
Horizontal channel conflicts occur when members of the same level of marketing channels have disputes or disagreements regarding the sales strategies for one or more product lines.
In this case, Amazon and Target are both retailers, and since Target felt that P&G was unfairly helping Amazon, they reacted by changing their marketing strategies for P&G's products. The conflict here is between Amazon and Target who are both in the same level of marketing channels.
Answer:
Inflation in 2012:
= 10%
Inflation in 2013:
= 9.09%
Inflation in 2014:
= 5%
Real rate of interest = Nominal - inflation
Given that,
Nominal rate = 8%
Therefore,
Real interest rate is as follows:
2012:
= 8% - 10%
= -2%
2013:
= 8% - 9.09%
= -1.09%
2014:
= 8% - 5%
= 3%
$6000 at 8% grows to:
= 1000 × 1.08
= $6,480 in one year
which is invested again to grow to $6,998.4 in two years
which is invested again to grow to $7,558.272 in three years
so,
Total gain:
= 25.9712%
The price level increases in three years by:
= 26%
So,
Total real rate of return:
= Total gain - Percentage increase in prices
= 25.9712 - 26
= -0.0288%
It should be the price right?
