Answer:

Slope = 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope measures "RISE" over "RUN".

The "rise" is the change happening in the y-direction (or vertical direction)

The "run" is the change happening in the x-direction (or horizontal direction)

We divide "rise" by "run" to get the value of slope.

Here, the rise (vertical) is 0.5 feet

Also, the run (horizontal) is 5 feet

Thus,

Slope = Rise/Run = $\frac{0.5}{5}=0.1$

So,

Slope = 0.1

The weekly sales of Honolulu Red Oranges is given by q = 896 − 20p.(A) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price i

vitfil [10]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

q = 896-20p

p = $32

.(A) Calculate the price elasticity of demand

As we know that

$e=-\dfrac{dq}{dp}\times \dfrac{p}{q}\\\\e=-(-20)\times \dfrac{32}{896-20p}\\\\e=\dfrac{20\times 32}{896-20p}\\\\e=\dfrac{640}{896-20p}\\\\e=\dfrac{640}{896-640}\\\\e=\dfrac{640}{256}=2.5$

(B) The demand is going down with increase in 15 increase in price at that price level, as we know that there is inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.

(C) Also, calculate the price that gives a maximum weekly revenue.

$R=pq\\\\R=p(896-20p)\\\\R=896p-20p^2$

We first find the first derivative:

$R'(p)=896-400p$

So, it becomes,

$896-40p=0\\\\40p=896\\\\p=\dfrac{896}{40}=\$22.4$

R=-40<0, so, it will give maximum revenue.

(D) Find this maximum revenue.

Maximum revenue would be $R=pq\\\\R=22.4(896-20\times 22.4)\\\\R=\$10035.2$

galben [10]

Answer:

price of a computer that she could afford R 9230.769

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

amount pay = R500 per month = 500 × 24 = R 12000 total pay

time period =24 months = 24 /12 = 2 years

rate = 15 % per annum

to find out

price of a computer that she could afford

Solution

we know formula

Amount Paid = Principal × (1+(RT/100))

put value principal pay and R and T and we get

principal = Amount / (1+(RT/100))

principal = 1200 / (1+(15 ×2 )/100))

principal = 9230.769

price of a computer that she could afford R 9230.769
