Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

The supply curve for potatoes can shift to the right because of an increase in the supply. The supply for a product may arise because of several reasons such as improvement in technology or reduction in the cost of production.

In the given options, the use of new harvester that allows the farmer to bring in ripe potatoes at twice the speed than earlier will help the farmer to increase supply. This will further cause the supply curve to move to the right.

Answer:

$173,205

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Given data:

Earning (X1) = $500,000

Chances of X1 (Y1) = 25%

Earning (X2) = $100,000

Chances of X2 (Y2) = 75%

Expected Profit (Z) = $200,000

Formula for solving the problem are as follows:

Standard deviation = [ (X1 - Z)^2 × Y1 + (X2 - Z)^2 × Y2 ]^1/2

By putting the value in the formula, we get

Standard deviation = [ ($500,000 - $200000)^2 × 0.25 + ($100,000 - $200,000)^2 × 0.75 ]^1/2

= [ $22,500,000,000 + $7,500,000,000 ]^1/2

= ($30,000,000,000)^1/2

= $173,205.08 or $173,205

Hence, $173,205 is the correct answer.
