Answer: A target price for farm crops is an example of price floor because it’s fixed ahead of harvests with the interest of farmers in mind.
Explanation: A quick definition of both concepts would be of help. A price floor is usually fixed by government legislation and it ensures that the price of a commodity or service does not fall below a certain minimum. In the case of farm crops, a floor price makes sure that the farmers are guaranteed a level of profit in case there is poor harvest for any reason whatsoever. The price floor must be fixed above the equilibrium price for this to be effective.
A target price is an expectation of the future price of commodities or services, and hence prices are fixed ahead of the harvest in the case of farm crops. This is so because as explained earlier, future conditions might change and become unfavorable, therefore making the current market price unprofitable for farmers. If for example, a sack of potatoes currently sells for $30, the government may fix the price floor ahead of the harvest season at $45 per sack. This implies that after harvesting farmers can still sell at $30. However if the harvest turns out to be bad perhaps due to natural disasters, pests or fungal attacks, etc, then the farmers can go ahead and sell at $45 and possibly higher. No farmer is allowed to sell below $45 (since that is the ‘floor’). That way, farmers would still have some profit guaranteed and would be encouraged to remain in the farming business.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $189,600
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
On January 1, 2017, anodel, Inc. acquired a machine for 1,010,000. the estimated useful life of the asset is five years. residual value at the end of five years is estimated to be 62000.
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (1,010,000 - 62,000)/5= $189,600
Answer:
consumer surplus will decrease.
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is defined as the difference between the price customers are willing to pay for a product and what they actually pay.
On the demand and supply curve it is indicated by the shaded area between equillibrum and demand curve as illustrated in the attached diagram.
For example let's assume the price a customer was willing to pay for a product was $50 and market price was $30
Initial consumer surplus= 50- 30= $20
Assume bmarket price increase to $40
The new consumer surplus is= 50- 40
Present consumer surplus= $10
So a price increase causes a decrease in the consumer surplus.
The fraction of fertilizer in the final mixture is 1/9.
A natural or synthetic material called fertilizer that contains chemical ingredients that help plants grow and produce more. Fertilizers may restore chemical elements that previous crops removed from the soil or increase the land's inherent fertility.
Most of the time, fertilizers' contribution to food production is overlooked. For plants, fertilizers are food. The nutrients that crops remove from the soil and replace with fertilizers. Crop yields and agricultural output would be much lower without the addition of fertilizers.
12 oz fertilizer to 96 oz water will make 12+96 = 108 oz of liquid
=12/108
=1/9
1/9 is the fraction of fertilizer in the final mixture.
