Answer:

Explanation:

Note: The table containing the data is attached as a file to this solution.

Also note that the values are given in percentages in the table, the decimal equivalents of those values are used in this calculation.

a)

i) Allele Frequency in the Inuit population

M allele frequency

= 0.835+(0.156/2)  = 0.913

N allele frequency

= 0.009 + (0.156/2)  = 0.087

ii) Allele frequency in Navojo Indian population

M allele frequency

= 0.845+0.072  = 0.917

N allele frequency

= 0.011+0.072  = 0.083

iii) Allele frequency  In Finn population

M allele frequency

= 0.457+0.2155  = 0.6725

N allele frequency

= 0.112+0.2155  = 0.3275

iv)Allele frequency  In Russian population

M allele frequency

= 0.399+0.22  = 0.619

N allele frequency

= 0.161+0.22  = 0.381

v) Allele frequency  In Aborigines

M allele frequency

= 0.024+0.152   = 0.176

N allele frequency

= 0.672 + 0.152   = 0.824

b)

We can observe that the sum of the frequencies of M and N alleles in each of the populations above is 1. Therefore, all the populations are in Hardy Weinberg's equilibrium.

c)

It can be again observed that the M and N allele frequencies of the Finn and the Russian population are almost the same, then it is safe to say that the Finn and Russian population have had significant intermixing due to migration.

Say that Alland can produce 32 units of food per person per year or 16 units of clothing per person per year, but Georgeland can
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is defined as the ability of a firm to produce higher amounts of a product as a result of use of the same resources with other competitors. It is usually bad a result of more efficient production process.

Comparative advantage is the ability of a firm to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost. Therefore they are able to sell at lower price compared to competitors.

Georgeland can produce 18 units of clothe per year while Alland can produce 16 units per year, so Georgeland has absolute advantage.

In producing clothes Georgeland has opportunity cost of 36 units of food which is higher than that of Alland which is 32 units of food. So Georgeland does not have comparative advantage in producing clothes.

Determine the (a) working capital, (b) current ratio, and (c) quick ratio. Round ratios to one decimal place.The following data
kramer

Answer:

a. The working capital is $625,000

b. The current ratio is 2.82

c. The quick ratio is 2.08

Explanation:

In order to calculate the working capital first we need to calculate the Current Assets and the Current Liablities as follows:

Current Assets = Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory + Prepaid Expenses + Temporary investments

= 154,000+210,000+240,000+15,000+350,000

=$969,000

Current Liablities = Accounts payble + Accrued liablities + Income tax payable + Notes payable,short term

= 245000+4000+10000+85000

=$344,000

a. Therefore, working capital = Current Assets - Current liabilities

= 969000 - 344000

= $625,000

b. To calculate the current ratio we have to use the following formula:

current ratio = Current Assets / Current liabilities

=969,000 /344,000

= 2.82

c. To calculate the quick ratio we have to use the following formula:

quick ratio = (Cash + Accounts receivable + Temporary investments ) / Current liabilities

= (154,000+210,000+350,000) / 344,000

= 2.08

Cayo Casta Cabins Corporation recently purchased Ship Island Resort and Casino and the land on which it is located with the plan
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

4) recorded as a reduction of the cost of the land.

Explanation:

When you are calculating the cost of any land purchased, you must start with the purchase price and add all the expenditures necessary for getting the land  ready, e.g. legal fees, taxes, real estate commissions, land grading, clearing the trees, etc., and subtract any revenue obtained, e.g. from the sale of salvaged materials or timber.

total cost of land = purchase price + (fees, commissions, grading, clearance expenses, taxes, etc.) - revenue (salvaged materials, scrap, timber, etc.)

tester [92]

Answer:

$45,000

Explanation:

Computation for the projected benefit obligation

December 31 PBO($278,000)

December 31 Plan assets 233,000

Funded status($45,000)

Therefore the projected benefit obligation was underfunded at the end of 2021 by: $45,000
