The answer is B: grow.

Explanation for each option:

A. Die - This is incorrect. Biotic potential refers to the maximum reproductive capacity of an organism under optimal environmental conditions. It does not cause populations to die; rather, it is a measure of the potential for growth.

B. Grow - This is correct. Biotic potential is the ability of a population to increase in numbers under ideal environmental conditions. It represents the maximum growth rate of a population.

C. Decline - This is incorrect. A decline in population is typically due to factors such as limited resources, predation, disease, or other environmental pressures, not biotic potential.

D. Remain stable - This is incorrect. Stability in a population is usually achieved when the birth rate equals the death rate, and it is not directly related to biotic potential, which is about the potential for growth.

In summary, biotic potential causes populations to grow under ideal conditions.

Problem 4-16 (Static) Comprehensive Problem-Weighted-Average Method [LO4-2, LO4-3, LO4-4, LO4-5] Builder Products, Incorporated, uses the weighted-average method of process costing. It manufactures a caulking compound that goes through three processing stages prior to completion. Information on work in the first department, Cooking, is given below for May: Production data: Pounds in process, May 1; materials 100% complete; conversion 80% complete 10,000 Pounds started into production during May 100,000 Pounds completed and transferred out ? Pounds in process, May 31; materials 60% complete; conversion 20% complete 15,000 Cost data: Work in process inventory, May 1: Materials cost 1,500 Conversion cost 7,200 Cost added during May: Materials cost Conversion cost 154,500 90,800 Required: For May: 1. Compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion. 2. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion. 3. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total. 4. Compute the cost of units transferred out to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total. 5. Prepare a cost reconciliation report. Compute the cost of units transferred out to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for May. Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.

You work for a large farm with many fields of corn. You are investigating the mass of a sample of ears of corn. You gather the following data: Mass(g) of ears of corn 655.4, 494.6, 736.8, 651.1, 452.6, 607.1, 786.8, 521.9, 446.7, 604.2, 647.4, 441.4, 430.3 Checksum: 7476.3 Some of the masses in the sample seem much larger than the rest. You decide to make several calculations describing the "spread" of the data set. You hope to use them to help in the search for outliers. Find the following: a) IQR 160. b) Apply the 1.5 IQR rule to search for outliers. Report the lower and upper cutoffs. Lower: Upper: Are there any outliers by the 1.5 IQR rule? (Enter "yes" or "no")
