Answer:
"Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans"
Determining whether each statement is true or false:
a. False
b. True
c. False
d. True
Explanation:
The article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans," was published by the Washington Post on January 19, 2016. It was written by Chelsea Harvey. It tried to show how the world fish stock had been declining due to overfishing. This is why it provided a report contrary to the FAO report.
While the FAO report noted that the peak of worldwide catches was at 86 million tons in 1996, the contrary and independent report, using "catch reconstruction" showed that the peak was at 130 million tons in 1996. The reconstructed research also showed that worldwide fish catches had suffered declines ever since the 1996 peak, thereby threatening "world food security and marine ecosystems". The contrary report also suggested that all stakeholders must collaborate so that fish stocks can rebuild naturally.
Answer:
$1,875
Explanation:
Given that,
Amount of note receivable = $50,000
Time period = 6 month
Interest rate = 9%
Interest amount:
= Principle amount × Interest rate × Time period
= $50,000 × 0.09 × (6/12)
= $2,250
Interest Accrued from 1 August to 31 December :
= (Interest amount ÷ 6 months) × 5 months
= ($2,250 ÷ 6 months) × 5 months
= $375 × 5 months
= $1,875

Answer:
$12,300
Explanation:
I will assume that Joseph invested in the fund on July 14, 2013.
We have to calculate the future value to March 15, 2014 (8 months later).
since the interest is compounded semi annually, it will earn interest on January 14, 2014.
Future value = $12,000 x (1 + 2.5%) = $12,300
since the fund is going to earn interests again on July 14, 2014, the value on march 14 is the same = $12,300
