Although New York State is second only to Washington State in production of​ apples, its production has been declining during

the past 20 years. The decline has been particularly steep in counties close to New York City. In​ 1985, there were more than​ 11,000 acres of apple orchards in Ulster​ County, which is 75 miles north of New York City.​ Today, only about​ 6,000 acres remain. As it became difficult for apple growers in the county to compete with​ lower-cost producers​ elsewhere, the resources these entrepreneurs were using to produce applesparticularly landbecame more valuable in other uses. Many farmers sold their land to housing developers. Suppose a revolutionary new diet is developed that involves eating 10 apples per​ day, and the new diet becomes wildly popular. ​Source: Lisa W.​ Foderaro, "Plenty of​ Apples, but a Possible Shortage of Immigrant​ Pickers," New York Times​, August​ 21, 2007. Because of the popularity of the​ diet, the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City will likely increase decrease .
What effect is the new diet likely to have on the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City? What effect is the diet likely to have on housing prices in New York City?

Answer:

1. Increase in number of orchards

2. Increase in housing prices

Explanation:

1. What effect is the new diet likely to have on the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City?

There is going to be increased demand for apples due to this new diet and this increase in demand is going to bring about a hike in the price for apples. This price increase would make business to be viable for these apple farmers. More people would want to own orchards just to make money out of the boom in apples. Because apple farming now seems to be more profitable than other activities. <u><em>So this would cause the number of apple orchards that are within 100 miles of new york city to increase.</em></u>

2.  What effect is the diet likely to have on housing prices in New York City?

  • There would be an increase in housing prices in New york city as farmers would rather be planting apples on these lands instead of sellng them to developers for building houses. There would be a decrease in the supply of housing in New york.

ratelena [41]

Answer: $880.57

Explanation:

Assuming Par value of bond is $1,000.

Value of bond = (Coupon * Present value interest factor of annuity, no. years, required return) + Par Value/ (1 + required return)^ no. of years

On January 1, 2014, Borstad Company purchased equipment for $1,180,000. It is depreciating the equipment over 25 years using the
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)Purchase cost - 1,180,000

Useful life - 25

Annual depreciation = 47,200

Timeline - Jan 1 , 2014 - 2019 = 6 years

Accumulated depreciation = 47200*6=283,200

Carrying value at 2019 = (1,180,000 - 283,200)= 896,800

B) Annual cash flow - 400,000

Annual cash outflow - (295,000)

Net cash inflow= 105,000

Net cash flow for 8 years = 105000*8 = 840000

Since the net cash inflow is less than the carrying value , there is an impairment.

PV value of the net cash inflow at 12% discount for 8 years = 521,602

Impairment loss = $375,198    

At December 21.2019

2.) Debit impairment loss - $375,198

Credit equipment - $375,198
