Answer:

Nearly 3 billion additional urban dwellers are forecaster by 2050, an unprecedented wave of urban growth. While cities struggle to provide water to these new residents, they will also face equally unprecedented hydrologic changes due to global climate change. Here we use a detailed hydrologic model, demographic projections, and climate change scenarios to estimate per-capita water availability for major cities in the developing world, where urban growth is the fastest. We estimate the amount of water physically available near cities and do not account for problems with adequate water delivery or quality. Modeled results show that currently 150 million people live in cities with perennial water shortage, defined as having less than 100 L per person per day of sustainable surface and groundwater flow within their urban extent. By 2050, demographic growth will increase this figure to almost 1 billion people. Climate change will cause water shortage for an additional 100 million urbanites. Freshwater ecosystems in river basins with large populations of urbanites with insufficient water will likely experience flows insufficient to maintain ecological process. Freshwater fish populations will likely be impacted, an issue of special importance in regions such as India's Western Ghats, where there is both rapid urbanization and high levels of fish endemism. Cities in certain regions will struggle to find enough water for the needs of their residents and will need significant investment if they are to secure adequate water supplies and safeguard functioning freshwater ecosystems for future generations.Explanation:

KatRina [158]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

A 6-column table titled The cost of and return on pie production has 7 rows. The first column is labeled pies produced per day with entries 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The second column is labeled total cost with entries 0, 1, 1.50, 1.75, 2.25, 3.50, 5.00. The third column is labeled Marginal cost with entries 0, 1, 0.50, 0.25, 0.50, 1.25, 1.50. The fourth column is labeled total revenue with entries blank, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. The fifth column is labeled Marginal revenue with entries blank, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. The sixth column is labeled Profit with entries 0, 9, 18.50, 27.25, 37.75, 46.50, and 55.The chart shows the marginal cost and marginal revenue of producing apple pies.

What most likely will happen if the pie maker continues to make additional pies?

The marginal costs will continue to rise, increasing the total cost, while the marginal revenue remains the same, decreasing the profit.

The marginal costs will continue to fall, decreasing the total cost, while the marginal revenue remains the same, increasing the profit.

The marginal costs will continue to rise, increasing the total cost, while the marginal revenue remains the same, increasing the profit.

The marginal costs will continue to fall, decreasing the total cost, while the marginal revenue remains the same, decreasing the profit.

Answer:

The marginal costs will continue to rise, increasing the total cost, while the marginal revenue remains the same, decreasing the profit.

Explanation:

Marginal cost is an economic term that refers to the additional course that results from an increase in production or in operation, or even in an increase in the time of production and operation of a company. In other words, this term states that if the owner decides to increase the production of apple pies, there will be an increase in energy expenditure, in the workload of employees and in the amount of ingredients that will result in a higher economic expenditure.

According to this description and the data shown in the question above, we can say that the marginal costs of producing apple tarts will continue to increase, increasing the total cost, while the marginal revenue remains the same, decreasing the profit.
