Answer:

The answer is: 30 to 40%, according to satellite imagery

Explanation:

Satellite imagery is the most reliable way to try to determine what percentage of the Earth's land is used for agriculture. First and most important, the world is huge and only satellites have the technology to take images of continents and differentiate what possible use is given to them.

Government's surveys and records are no very reliable since you would need to use information from all the governments in the world including democratic countries and nations with dictatorships.

Answer:

-3 million dollars

Explanation:

we have EVA = economic value added

to ge the EVA, we use this formula :

(operating return on the assets - cost of the total capital) multiplied by the total assets

total assets = 100 million

operating return = 12 percent

cost of capital = 15 percent

the EVA = 12% - 15% * 100000000

= -0.03 * 100000000

= -3,000,000 dollars

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Annual payment= $3,250.77

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You are thinking of purchasing a home. The house costs $300,000. You have $43,000 in cash that you can use as a down payment on the house, but you need to borrow the rest of the purchase price. The bank is offering a 30-year mortgage that requires annual payments and has an interest rate of 6% per year.

FV= 300,000 - 43,000= $257,000

i=6%

n= 30

Annual payment= ?

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (257,000*0.06)/{[1.06^30]-1}= $3,250.77
