In recent years the cost of producing organic produce in the United States has decreased largely due technological advancement.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Suppose technological advancement has helped in decreasing the cost of producing organic produce. This means that the farmers can now produce more at the same cost. As a result, the supply of organic produce will increase. This will cause a rightward shift in the supply curve.

At the same time, the demand for organic produce has increased. This will lead to a rightward shift in the demand curve.

The rightward shift in both demand and supply curve will lead to an increase in the equilibrium quantity. The change in the price level depends on the extent of the change in demand and supply.

You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 3.9 percent indefinitely

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

$48.2

Explanation:

The increase in dividend is 3.9%

= 3.9/100

= 0.039

The recently paid dividend is $3.62

The required return is 11.7%

= 11.7/100

= 0.117

Therefore the price per share of the company stock can be calculated as follows

= 3.62(1+0.039)/0.117-0.039

= 3.62(1.039)/0.078

= 3.761/0.078

= 48.2

Hence the price per share is $48.2

to complete to Complete to Complete

A Hike to the campsite 3 5 8

B Set up campsite 2 4 5

C Collect wood for fire 1 3 5

D Start a fire 1 2 3

E Find water 0.5 1 3

Critical path: Activity A - Activity B

Activity A - Activity C 3 - Activity D 2 - Activity E 1 - Activity F 2

Activity G 2 - Activity H 3 - Activity I and J 2 - Activity K 1

= 3 + 2 + 1 + 2+ 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 16 minutes

Length of time to complete the entire process = 27 - 4 = 23

The critical path identifies the longest stretch of dependent activities and measuring the time required to complete them from start to finish.
