Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

(a) (i) Define the term "Green Revolution" as used during the period 1945 to 1985.

The use of modern agricultural techniques became widespread around many regions in the world. This led to higher yields through the use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.

(ii) Explain the principal agricultural practices/technologies associated with the green revolution.

extensive use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.

(iii) Name TWO regions, in different parts of the world, where the green revolution has had a significant impact on crop yields.

In North America, Mexican food production increased and they stopped importing food. Although currently that has reversed, and it is importing even more food than before.
In Brazil, agricultural production increased dramatically. Both total farmed area and yields have continued to increase in the past years becoming a threat to the amazon basin.

(b) Identify and discuss TWO social, political, or cultural conditions necessary for the success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.

Emigration from rural areas to urban areas which resulted in a rapid expansion of urban centers. Since less labor was needed in farms, many people left rural areas due to lack of jobs.
People started accepting genetically modified crops, which were not well accepted at first. A lot of money was invested in research and development of new seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.

(c) Identify and discuss TWO significant economic or ecological factors that may limit the long-term success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.

Many new agricultural techniques have resulted in a decrease of soil fertility. In many places crops cannot grow unless a lot of fertilizer is used.
Countries were the green revolution was originally successful, like Mexico (where it started), have reduced the total area dedicated to crops. As the yields increased, the price of food started to decrease and many small farms could not keep operating.

Why are high-tax-bracket investors more inclined to invest in municipal bonds than are low-bracket investors?

Anika [276]

The coupons paid by municipal bonds are exempt from federal income tax and from state tax in many states. Therefore, the higher the tax bracket that the investor is in, the more valuable the tax-exempt feature to the investor.

Suppose Brazil has a comparative advantage in coffee production and Mexico has a comparative advantage in tomato production. If

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Brazilian tomato producers are worse off.

Explanation:

A country has a comparative advantage in producing a good and service if its opportunity cost of producing that good and service is lower than that of its trading partner. So it is better off for a country that has a lower opportunity cost in production a good or service to specialise in that good or service.

Brazil has a comparative advantage in coffee production, meaning, it is better off in specialising in the production of coffee and will be worse off if Brazil specialises in Tomato

Mexico has a comparative advantage is Tomato, meaning, she is better off in specialising in Tomato and worse off if she specialises in Coffee

direct labor hours for the year 60,000 70,000

b. Products Canopy Tent

Factory overhead per unit $17.50 $40

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total budgeted factory overhead = $750,000

Canopy Tent Total

Direct labor hours

Cutting 2 1 3

Sewing 1 6 7

Total direct labor hours 3 7

Budgeted production units 20,000 10,000

Departments Cutting Sewing

Budgeted factory overhead $350,000 $400,000

Direct labor hours:

Canopy 40,000 (20,000 * 2) 10,000 (10,000 * 1)

Tent 20,000 (20,000 * 1) 60,000 (10,000 * 6)

Total direct labor hours 60,000 70,000

Overhead allocation rates $5.833 $5.714

($350,000/60,000) ($400,000/70,000)

Overhead per unit $17.50 ($5.833 * 3) $40 ($5.714 * 7)

A five-year project has a projected net cash flow of $15,000, $25,000, $30,000, $20,000, and $15,000 in the next five years. It

riadik2000 [5.3K]

The value of Net present value is $12,895.45.

Given that

initial investment = $50,000

1st-year cash flow = $15,000

2nd-year cash flow =$ 25,000

3rd-year cash flow =$ 30,000

4th-year cash flow = $20,000

5th-year cash flow = $15,000

rate = 20%

using formula

$NPV = \frac{R}{({1+i})^t}$

$NPV = \frac{15000}{({1+0.20})^5}\\NPV = 12895.45$

<h3>What is Net Present value?</h3>

The current value of a future stream of payments from a business, project, or investment is determined using net present value, or NPV.
You must predict the timing and size of future cash flows in order to determine NPV, and you must choose a discount rate that is equal to the least allowable rate of return.
Your cost of capital or the rewards offered by substitute investments with comparable risk may be reflected in the discount rate.
Positive NPV indicates that the rate of return on a project or investment will be higher than the discount rate.
