Answer:

Annual growth rate = 1.29% per year

Population in 2050 = 11.53 billion

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Population in 1999 = 6 billion = 6,000,000,000

Rate of increase in population = 212,000 per day

Now,

Number of days in a year = 365

Therefore,

Annual growth rate

= [ Growth rate per day × Number of days in a year ] ÷ initial population

= [ 212,000 × 365 ] ÷ 6,000,000,000

= 0.0129 per year

or

= 0.0129 × 100%

= 1.29% per year

Now,

2050 is 51 year from 1999

Population in 2050 = Population in 1999 × ( 1 + rate )ⁿ

= 6,000,000,000 × ( 1 + 0.0129 )⁵¹

= 11.53 billion

lawyer [7]

Explanation:

a)According to  Land recorded for   § 704(b) book capital account purposes, Land is  recorded at fair market value. With this, the Padgett properties should record the land at $358,500

b)From the question, it is given that the  basis of land is  $89,625. Therefore, the Padgett Properties LLC's tax basis in the land is $89,625.

c)Amount of Nova and Oscar's gain.

Fair market value of Land         $358,500

Basis of land                                  $89,625  

total                                              $ 448,125

but Gain =  Selling price of land - Fair value of Land  x interest in partnership profits and capital  

= $537,750 - ($358,500+$89,625 )

=($537,750 - $448,125 )  x 50% =$44,812.50

Total gain                   $448,125 + $44,812.50 =$492,937.50

Rocky Guide Service provides guided 1–5 day hiking tours throughout the Rocky Mountains. Wilderness Tours hires Rocky to lead
o-na [289]

Answer:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Explanation:

Rocky believed there would be a 30\% possibility of a July bonus for touring, i.e < 50\%, from July 1-July 15 (10 days)-. Therefore no bonus can be calculated as \$2,400 / day trip \times 10 days =\$2,400 throughout this duration.

The expected 15-day revenues from 16th July – 31st July may well be calculated as \$2,400 \times 15 \ days = \$36.000. Rocky calculated that it would get the bonus 80\% of the time. Estimates a \$240/day\ bonus \times (10\ days + 15\ days) = \$6,000

Anna [14]

Answer:

B) secondary; primary

Explanation:

Secondary data is data collected from other researches. In this age, there is a lot of easily accessible data made available freely or at low cost. Examining them first not only help researchers find needed data cheaply, but also give them ideas about what they could find out from those data (serendipitous discovery).

Primary data is data collected from first-handed sources by the the researchers themselves by methods including surveys, interviews, direct observation, etc. It is costly to obtain so researchers only come to that when they can't find good secondary data for their purposes.

A number of political leaders have expressed concern about the​ nation's decline as a major steel producer. many have advocated
zavuch27 [327]

The answer to the question is that the substitution of domestic steel for foreign steel absorbs resources that would otherwise produce goods of great value.

Though America is declining in terms of domestic steel production, it does not mean the nation as a whole is failing, including in terms of production. Since the skills that workers use to produce steel are transferable to other industries, this allows them to be involved in industries that are creating more relevant value right now than steel; choosing to return to domestic steel production might prove to be inefficient.
