Answer:

1. a) Location,

    b) earnings

    c) Whether the crop can be produced by its resources or not

Explanation:

Farmer traders consider location as an important element for their crops, the location depends on the quality of the land and the taxes it will pay, and the location of their crop is important for the transport of their products to ensure they arrive in the best condition to the market.

Likewise, the farmer considers as an influential factor how much profit he will obtain with the harvested product, choosing to cultivate the one that produces the greatest benefits, also he must consider having all the labor and resources that are necessary to carry out his harvest and be able to transport it to market it.      

2. Dairy producers need to consider the proximity of farms to the distribution market because the product has a limited time to go expire .

Explanation:

Dairy products are the most delicate and difficult to transport since they have a short time to expire, this is one of the reasons that commercial farmers should take into account that the location of their farm is at a considerable distance from the market, in this way being able to transport their product more safely and distribute it without fear that it expires and lose all their profits.

3. A commercial farmer is concerned with two costs, one of which is the cost of transportation and the other cost is whether there will be a benefit to his crop.

Explanation:  

Commercial farmers at the time of cultivation consider two very important costs for them, one of them the cost of transporting their products to the place of distribution, so they must ensure that it is not very high since it is also important for them the benefit they will get, for this reason, farmers take care that the investment is less so they can enjoy good profits.

   

4. Von Thunen's theory mentions that the distance to the market is a critical point for farmers. Von Thunen explains that a farmer's earnings may decrease the further from the market where he sells his products.

Explanation:

5.  1. One of Von Thunen's assumptions is that there is only one market available and it is self-sufficient without outside influence.

    2. Another assumption is the physical environment is uniform; without rivers, mountains, etc.

    3. And one last assumption is that all farmers act to maximize profits.

Explanation:

1. In Von Thunen's first assumption, he considers there is only one market available and it does not need external influences, but this assumption may not be so correct since there cannot be a single market due to the consumer demand that exists and because there are other farmers from different cities that will bring their products, also cities need an external influence for change, and changes are necessary for the growth of the city.

2. In his theory, Von Thunen mentions the physical environment of the places for agricultural production is uniform, which is difficult due to the landforms that create modifications in the terrain, this uniformity that Thunen mentions could only be achieved if the grounds were modified by men.

3. Thunen's last assumption mentions a very successful situation where farmers carry out actions to obtain the greatest profits, they will continue working to continue obtaining the best benefits.

6. 1. In the middle ring is the market. The market is central because it is the most important part of the city and is easily accessible from the surrounding areas.

   2. The next ring consists of intensive farming and dairy. These products are closer because they are in higher demand and other products can expire.

  3. The next ring is the forest. Wood was also in high demand due to the fact that it was used for heating and cooking. And it had this location because the wood was very heavy and difficult to transport.

  4. The penultimate ring was used for extensive cultivation as bread grains. These are lighter, which makes them easier to transport and cost less money.

  5. And finally, the final outer ring is used for livestock. Animals can be born and raised further from the market because they transport themselves, which means there is no need for fuel, saving the farmer money.

Explanation:  

Von Thunen in his theory mentioned the importance of geographical distribution in agriculture, in which merchant farmers could take advantage of the conditions of the land. For Thunen the distribution and location of the land in an appropriate way would generate the best benefits, for it must organize from the most essential and difficult to transport to the easiest to transport, in this way, for Von Thunen the rings in the markets should be formed.

D.v.g. (a minor) was injured in a one-car auto accident in hoover, alabama. the vehicle was covered by an insurance policy issue
diamong [38]

Answer:

Yes, the court ruled in favor of D.V.G.'s mother, because of the principle that contracts entered by minors are not void, but voidable, and that they do have an effect on the parties, but if voided, they cannot be enforced.

In this case, the minor died before the contract was ratified by the court, but the minor hadn't voided the contract, so it was still good at the moment of his death. The minor had the chance of either approving or rejecting the contract while still living, and decided not to revoke it.

Explanation:

NATIONWIDE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company v. Barbara Walker WOOD, as administratrix of the estate of D.V.G., a minor, deceased, and K.C.T., a minor, by and through Earnest T., his father and next friend.  1111486. Decided: February 22, 2013

As this Court has stated, <em>“ ‘[i]t is well settled by the authorities that infants are not liable on any of their contracts, except for necessaries. With the exception, all other contracts of infants, whether executory or executed, may be avoided or ratified at the election of the infant.’ ”</em>

The final ruling was:

<em>"Under Alabama law, an insurance company is bound to a settlement agreement negotiated on behalf of an injured minor, even if that minor dies before the scheduling of the court hearing that all parties agreed was necessary to obtain approval of the settlement agreement. In accordance with the parties' understanding, such a hearing is still required, and the minor's death does not render that hearing impossible. We thus answer in the affirmative the question certified to this Court."</em>

Collins Company borrowed $1,250,000 from BankTwo on January 1, 2016 in order to expand its mining capabilities. The five-year no
hoa [83]

Answer:

Collins Company must recognize $118,750 (which is annual interest paid on the capital) in its 2017 income statement as an expense item if the method of computing the interest is the flat rate method.

If it is reducing balance rate, then the amount deducted will equal $ 87,823

Explanation:

According to the principles of Financial Accounting, the interest portion of any loan must be entered as an expense item. The portion of the principal being paid back is recorded as part of the liability of the company in the period under consideration. It often goes by the term Loan Payable or Notes Payable.

Hence to arrive at the answers given above, you must note that the year in question is 2017 and that the loan took effect from January 2016.

When computing for interest payable, two methods may be used:

  1. Flat rate method: which requires that the interest rate applicable is computed on the capital and multiplied by the number of years the loan will run.

That is, $1,250,000 x 9.5% x 5 = Total Interest Rate Applicable.

= $593,750 so going by this method, the interest rate to be entered is

= $593, 750/5

= $118,750

   2. Reducing balance rate method: This requires the rate of interest to be applied each year succesievely having taken into account the capital which way paid in the previous year.

That is, [Initial Capital-Annual Payments] *9.5%

For year 2016, annual payment will be Zero. Given that the loan started in that year. In 2017 however, the annual payment will apply as shown below:

= [$1,250,000-$325,545] *9.5%

= $924, 455 * 9.5%

= $87,823 (approximately)
