Answer:

The reasons for re-building Greensburg as a "green town" are:

  1. It is a decision that is good for the future environmentally. It is going to help reduce waste and protect the environment. See paragraph 3
  2. It is a sign of progress. Progress is natural. The tornado had torn down the town making it look like a post-war zone. It's an opportunity to recreate the town making it into the best possible town it could be. See paragraph 6
  3. It would make for new schools, new hospitals, new museums. All of these would help create a new and more efficient system/town. See paragraph 3 and 6.

The reasons against rebuilding Greensburg as a "green town" are:

  1. Not everyone in Greensburg bought into the idea. It seemed to be the idea of a select few. A good idea that was not well thought out. See paragraph 7. The process of agreeing to build or not to build was not democratic.
  2. The town didn't have the money for such kind of project at that time. It had just been torn down. To embark on such a project would require enormours injection of funds. That meant that the people of Greensburg who were just recovering from the tornado would be subjected to heavy taxes for a long time to be able to cover the cost of green buildings/ projects which were relatievly expensive. See paragraph 8.
  3. It was proper to reinstate businesses first. These were the major contributors to the towns' economy. The more businesses Greensburg has, the more tax revenue it can earn. The more it earns, the more "green" projects it can take on.

Cheers!

Maria has to choose between driving and taking a train to destination A. Travelling by train will cost her $400 and will take 4
dlinn [17]

Answer:

None of the options are correct

Explanation:

The train would cost her, which is computed as:

= Cost + (Hours × Opportunity Cost)

= $400 + (4 hours × $15 per hour)

= $400 + $60

= $460

The driving would cost her, which is computed as:

= Cost + (Hours × Opportunity Cost)

= $250 + (6 hours × $15 per hour)

= $250 + $90

= $340

Savings = Train Cost - Driving Cost

= $460 - $340

=$120

None of the options are correct as the she would save $120.

Suppose a farmer in Georgia begins to grow peaches. He uses​ $1,000,000 in savings to purchase​ land, he rents equipment for ​$7
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Economic profit = $300,000

Explanation:

<em>Economic profit is the difference between the sales revenue and the total of implicit cost and explicit cost</em>

Implicit cost are opportunity costs. For the farmer, these include

Interest on capital forfeited and salaries forfeited

= (22%×  1,000,000) + 40,000

= 260,000

Total cost = Implicit +explicit costs

=  260,000 + 260,000 +70,000 +120,000

 Economic profit =750000- (260,000 +70,000 +120,000)

                         = $300,000

Note that the cost of land is not included because it a capital cost
