When solving systems of equations we have at least two unknowns. A common example of a system of equations is a price problem. F

or example, Jacob has 60 coins consisting of quarters and dimes. The coins combined value is $9.45. Find out how many of each (quarters and dimes) Jacob has. What do the unknowns in this system represent and what are the two equations that that need to be solved? Finally, solve the system of equations.

Answer:

a. The unknowns in the equation above are q and d that represent the number of quarters and dimes respectively.

b. The two equations that need to be solved are; q+d=60...equation 1, and

0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45...equation 2

c.

Number of dimes, d=37

Number of quarters, q=23

Explanation:

a.

<em>Step 1: Derive equation for determining total number of coins.</em>

The total number of coins can be derived using the expression below;

T=q+d

where;

T=total number of coins

q=number of quarters

d=number of dimes

In our case;

T=60 coins

q=unknown

d=unknown

replacing;

q+d=60...equation 1

The unknowns in the equation above are q and d that represent the number of quarters and dimes respectively.

b.

<em>Step 2: Derive equation for determining combined value of coins.</em>

V=(q×Q)+(d×D)

where;

V=total value of the coins

q=number of quarters

Q=unit value of a quarter in dollars

d=number of dimes

D=unit value of a dime in dollars

In our case;

V=$9.45

q=unknown

Q=$0.25

d=unknown

D=$0.10

replacing;

9.45=(0.25×q)+(0.10×d)

9.45=0.25 q+0.1 d

0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45...equation 2

<em>Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously</em>

(q+d=60)×0.25 >>>>>>>>>>>> 0.25 q+0.25 d=15

                                                 -

(0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45)×1>>>>>>> 0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45

(0.25 q-0.25 q)+(0.25 d-0.1 d)=15-9.45

0 q+0.15 d=5.55

0.15 d=5.55

d=5.55/0.15=37

d=37

Substitute the value of d in equation 1;

q+d=60

and q=37

37+q=60

q=60-37=23

q=23

Assume that investors can borrow and lend at risk-free rate of 5%. The optimal tangent portfolio on the efficient frontier has a
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B. Portfolio B with E(R)=13% and STD=18%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Reward to risk ratio = (15% - 5%) ÷ 20% = 0.5

The porfolio should be in line i.e.

= 0.05 + 0.5 × standard deviation

For portfolio A

= 0.05 + 0.5 × 25

= 17.5%

For portfolio C

= 0.05 + 0.5 × 1

= 5.5%

Portfolio B, the std is 18%

So,

= 0.05 + 0.5 × 18%

= 14%

  • $500 decrease in liabilities
  • $500 decrease in assets.

<h3>Accounts that are affected</h3>

Assuming the company paid its suppliers the amount of  $500 that it owed for the pizza pans they purchased and received in the month of April. Hence, liabilities account will decrease by $500 while the assets account will decrease by $500.

Thus:

  • $500 decrease in liabilities
  • $500 decrease in assets

Suppose an American worker can make 20 pairs of shoes or grow 100 apples per day. On the other hand, a Canadian worker can produ
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: Higher; Comparative advantage

Explanation:

A country or a firm has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity in terms of other commodities is lower than the other country or firm.

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Therefore,

United states's Opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes = \frac{100}{20}

= 5 apples have to be foregone for producing a pair of shoes

Canada's Opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes = \frac{20}{10}

= 2 apples have to be foregone for producing a pair of shoes

Hence, Canada has a comparative advantage in producing pairs of shoes because Canada's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is lower than United states opportunity cost.

You have an insurance policy with a $300 premium and a $500 deductible. How much should you expect to pay the insurance company
Aleksandr [31]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks how much you would be paying for insurance with the information given.

<h3>Answer: $300</h3>

The reason why your answer would be $300 is because that's the premium that you would be paying for. The "premium" means the amount you're paying for coverage. The premium could have different coverages that make up the price. The insurance would cover the liabilities that you might have.

People tend to get confused with deductibles. You don't pay monthly for deductibles. Deductibles are a payment that someone needs to pay before an insurance company starts paying for your needs that your coverage provides. For example, if I brake a bone, I would first pay the $500 deductible before the Insurance company starts covering my costs. This is the ensure that the insurance company gets some type of money before they start helping you.

<h3>I hope this helped you out!</h3>
