Questions & Answers
Can the 12/2 yellow Romex wire 50 ft long be used for a 220 air conditioner?
Yes. Maximum Overcurrent Protection would be 20 amps from a double pole breaker. Use red or black tape to identify the white wire as hot at all connections including the breaker.

Is it outdoor rated
Nope. Use type UF cable for that.
On a 15ft wall & a 22ft wall in a garage using NM-B 12-2 with ground wire. Using a new sub panel with 20amp square d breakers how many outlets can go on each wall?
Hello, thank you for your question. This answer will require a more technical response. Please reach out to our technical team at cableteachsupport@southwire.com for a detailed explanation of your question.
A 15 amp breaker runs about 6 plugs and a light being a garage with possibly multiple outlets running at once I’d still go 7 maybe 8 and a light on the end

Can this wire be used from pole to new home underground? New electrical service, if no what can be?
No, this wire is designed for use in interior walls only, it is not rated for underground or outdoor use. Contact an electrical contractor for the proper wire size and installation technique for your service. This is usually done by a contractor or your utility. Mike
NM cable isn't rated to be underground. UF wire is what you are looking for.
