Assume the carrying capacity of the earth is 13 billion. Use the 1960s peak annual growth rate of 2.1​% and population of 3 billion to predict the base growth rate and current growth rate with a logistic model. Assume a current population of 6.8 billion. How does the predicted growth rate compare to the actual growth rate of about 1.2​% per​ year?

Answers

Answer:

The predicted growth rate is compared at  -2%

Explanation:

To calculate growth rate, G.R = X(1-(Population)/(Carrying capacity of earth))

In the 1960s,

The carrying capacity of the earth = 13 billion

Earth's population = 3 billion

X = ((Growth rate in 1960))/((1-(Population in 1960)/(Carrying Capacity in 1960)) )

X = 0.021 (1-(3,000,000,000)/(13,000,000,000) )

X = 0.021 × 0.77

X = 0.01617 = 1.6%

Current population calculation:

Growth Current population (C.p) = 0.016(1-(current population)/(current capacity))

Growth Current population (C.p) = 0.016(1 - (6,800,000,000)/(3,000,000,000) )

Growth Current population (C.p) = 0.016(-1.267)

Growth rate = -0.020272 = -2%

The predicted growth rate compare to the actual growth rate of about 1.2​% per​ year at -2%.

Answers

Answer:

a) standard direct labor hours per brake repair = hour spent repairing the brakes + setup time + cleanup time = 1 + (1 x 20%) + (1 x 30%) = 1.5 hours per brake repair

b) standard direct labor hourly rate = hourly wage rate + payroll taxes + fringe benefits = $12 + ($12 x 10%) + ($12 x 25%) = $16.20

c) standard direct labor cost per brake repair = 1.5 x $16.20 = $24.30

You are the payables accountant for a medium sized electrical contracting company. You are paying bills with purchase discounts but can't take advantage of them because the cash balance in the checking account is low. You approached your boss with a suggestion that the company borrow money at the bank so you can pay the bills in time to take the discounts. Your boss thinks you are a little crazy to recommend borrowing from the bank (currently charging 6% interest) to take advantage of 1-2% discounts. Write him a memorandum laying out your suggestion and justifying your suggested course of action. Respond to two other student's posts. Use actual numbers in your memo. For example, if you need to borrow money to pay a $10,000 bill that offers terms of 2/10, n/30 and the loan's interest rate is 6%.
