Which of the following is true of water budgets?

Business
1 answer:
zysi [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. In the winter, when water use is low, precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration

Explanation:

A water budget can be seen as the relationship between the inflow and outflow of water through a specified region.  It gives a general Idea of the relationship between the demand and supply of water in that region.

Evapotransipration is the loss of water from the soil through evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants, while precipitation refers to  rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.

During winters due to the cold temperatures, the rate of water loss from the soil and from plants is much lower than the amount of precipitation which is on form of snow.

Snow covers most of the soil, freezing the soil water at the surface of the soil, making it difficult for evapotranspiration to occur. In addition to that, most deciduous trees shed their leaves during this period further reducing the total amount of transpiration in that region.

This makes option B correct

Harman [31]

Answer:

c. rent-seeking behavior

Explanation:

In economics, rent-seeking behavior can be described as a behavior or conduct that tries to increase the share of an economic agent or an entity from the existing wealth without adding or creating new wealth. This implies that the entity aims to obtain added wealth without creating a new one.

From the question, the aim of the lawyers is mainly to increase their own wealth in terms of legal fees they will collect from preparing wills, trusts, and other legal documents when they prepare them for people when a law restrict people from self-preparing it using their personal computers. In turn, the lawyers will only increase their share of wealth without adding any wealth.

Therefore, this is an example of rent-seeking behavior.

Bellingham Company produced 2,500 units of product that required 6 standard direct labor hours per unit. The standard variable o
VMariaS [17]

Answer: -$2,350

Explanation:

First we will calculate the labour costs of the product as,

Standard labour overheads required,

= 2,500*6

= $15,000

Using the above figure we will then calculate the Standard Overhead Cost as,

Standard overhead cost

= 4.9* 15,000 hours

= $73,500

But the Actual overhead cost = $71,150

The Variance is calculated as,

= standard overhead cost - actual overhead cost

= 73,500 - 71,150

= $2,350 Favorable.

= -$2,350

For each of the following annuities, calculate the annual cash flow. (Enter rounded answers as directed, but do not use rounded
jeyben [28]

Answer:

(A)  $   2,602.34

(B)  $    4,156.97  

(C)  $   8,233.47

(D)  $ 46,796.64

Explanation:

We need to solve for the PMT of an ordinary annuity:

FV \div \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = C\\

(A)

FV 24,850

time   8

rate           0.05

24850 \div \frac{(1+0.05)^{8}-1 }{0.05} = C\\

C  $ 2,602.337

(B)

FV 1,030,000

time:    43

rate        0.07

1030000 \div \frac{(1+0.07)^{43} -1}{0.07} = C\\

C  $ 4,156.972

(C)

FV 856,000

time   29

rate             0.08

856000 \div \frac{(1+0.08)^{29} -1}{0.08} = C\\

C  $ 8,233.466

(D)

FV 856,000

time    14

rate        0.04

856000 \div \frac{(1+0.04)^{14} -1}{0.04} = C\\

C  $ 46,796.641
