How will the consultant's advice help make a change in the environment in the scenario below: A farmer has practiced burning fie

lds after each crop season in order to get rid of the leftover crop matter, and then tilled the land before planting new crops. He recently hired a consultant to see what he could do to make more environmentally conscious choices, and the consultant advised the farmer to stop burning and tilling and instead practice zero tillage farming, using the leftover crop matter to make his own fertilizer.

Answer:

The consultant's advice will reduce soil degradation and increase organic matter content in soil

Explanation:

In this scenario the present practice by the farmer of burning crop residue and tilling results in soil degradation and loss of organic matter.

Burning on the farm leads to loss of crop nutrients such as nitrogen and organic matter. It also causes environmental pollution of air, land, and water when carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur by-products are released to the atmosphere.

Tillage is the practice of turning the top 6 - 12 cm of soil when preparing for planting. This practice reduces water holding capacity of soil, accelerates nutrient loss, and degrades soil structure.

So if the farmer stops burning crop residue and practices zero tillage it will result in less environmental pollution, reduce soil degradation, and increase soil nutrients especially organic matter

a. Required down payment  = Price of the condominium * interest rate required by the bank.

$95.000 * 20% =  $19.000

b. 28% of adjusted monthly income is:

(5000-145)*28%=

1359.4

c. Monthly payments of principal and interest for a​ 25-year loan.

Using PV of ordinary annuity formula,

with PV of the bank loan =96000*80%=76800

d.Total monthly payment=

671+((346+1400)/12)=

817

e.YES---- 817 < 1359.4

​f. Amt. of First payment on the loan applied to the principal:

671-(76800*0.00792)=

62.74

ie.$ 63

​g.Total amount she pays for the condominium with a​ 25-year conventional loan(without including taxes &​ homeowners' insurance)

671*12 mths. *25 yrs. =

201300

​h) So, Total interest paid for the​ 25-year loan:

201300-76800=

124500

No.of periods=25*12=300

at monthly interest of 9.5%/12=

76800=Pmt.*(1-1.00792^-300)/0.00792

Solving the above, we get the monthly payment as 671

Anna [14]

Answer:

SF7.37

Explanation:

PV of cash flow is calculated using the formula

1-(1+r)^-n/r=1-(1-0.15)^5/0.15=1-(0.75)^5/0.15=1-0.237/0.15=5.085

So pv=5.085×4.4=SF

20.3385million

Using interest parity

1+ic/1+ib =Fo/So

Counter country is US while home country is in

swiss

1+0.05/1.04=fo/1.09

Fo=1.09×1.05/1.04=1.1

So expected PV=20.3385×1.1=SF22.37235million

Profit=23.37235-15=SF7.37
