Answer:
5.65%
Explanation:
Last year a stock of $78.00 was bought
During the period of one year $2.70 was received in dividend and inflation averaged 3.2%
Today the shares was sold for $82.20
The first step is to calculate the nominal return
= ($82.20-$78.00+$2.70)/$78.00
= 6.9/78
= 0.0885×100
= 8.85%
Therefore, the approximate real rate can be calculated as follows
= 8.85%-3.2%
= 5.65%
Hence the approximate real rate of return on this investment is 5.65%
Answer: A. the company will be willing to pay a different amount for this resource.
Explanation:
The upper limit for the resource was 18 and anything up to 18 would have attracted the same shadow price (price company estimated it was willing to pay for access to this resource).
The access was increased past this limit however to 18.01. The company therefore will now have more access to the resource and so will be willing to pay a different amount for the resource.

Answer:

And we can solve for y and we got:

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

Explanation:
For this case the graph attached illustrate the problem for this case
We know that the total area is 60000, so then we have:

If we solve for x we got:
(1)
Now we can define the cost function like this:


We can use the condition (1) and if we replace in the cost function we have:

Since we need to minimize the cost, we can derivate the function in terms of y and we got:

And we can solve for y and we got:

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

Answer:
6.05 years
Explanation:
