You invest $1,000 now, at an annual simple interest rate of 6%. What is the effective rate of interest in the fifth year of your

Delvig [45]

Answer:

The effective rate of interest in the fifth year is 6.15%

Explanation:

Mathematically, the effective rate of interest can be calculated as follows;

Reff = (1 + r/y)^y - 1

where;

r is the interest rate = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

y is the period = 5 years

Substituting these values;

Reff = (1 + 0.06/5)^5 - 1

Reff = (1 + 0.012)^5 - 1

Reff = 1.012^5 - 1

Reff = 1.061457 - 1

Reff = 0.0615 which is 6.15%

ELEN [110]

Answer:

The value of X that gives maximum profit is <u>15.92</u>.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:

Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)

Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)

Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:

dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)

dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X ....................................................... (5)

In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:

0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X

0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4

0.98X = 15.6

X = 15.6 / 0.98

X = 15.92

Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is <u>15.92</u>.

Describe at least two significant technological advances you have witnessed over your lifetime. explain how they made your life

alekssr [168]

One technological advance I have experienced in detail was the conversion from Imperial to the metric system in Canada especially in the mines I worked at. The advantage was that now everything could be done in 10's like millimeters, centimeters, metres and kilometers for example. The drawback would be that I was accustomed to say with cars to use miles per gallon and I had a hard time to envisage kilometres per liter. Another innovation I experienced first hand was the development of the GPS. This made it easier to locate oneself in the field provided there was good satellite reception and at least for the handheld GPS the accuracy was only down to about +-5meters so was not exact. Only the more expensive GPS like the Trimble could zero one in with sub-centimetre accuracy.
