There were 72 (108 - 36) more maple trees in the woodlot before the bug problem. There were 108 maple trees in the woodlot before the bug problem. There are 36 maple trees in the woodlot after the bug problem.
The following information is given in the question:
Ratio of maple trees to oak trees before bug problem = 9:5
Ratio of maple trees to oak trees after replanting = 3:11
Total number of oak trees after replanting =132
Total number of trees in the woodlot is the same before and after the bug problem.
Let the number of maple trees after replanting be 'x'
From the data above, we can find the number of maple trees after replanting as follows:
So, number of maple trees after replanting in the woodlot are 36.
Let number of maple trees before bug problem be 'z'.
We can find the number of maple trees before bug problem as follows:
Answer:
16 cupcakes
Explanation:
U(C, M) = C⁰°⁵ x M⁰°⁵ = √C x √M
total utility obtained by eating 16 cupcakes and 4 muffins = √16 x √4 = 4 + 2 = 6
since the bakery is out of muffins, then utility function = √C x √2 = √C x 1.4142
√C x 1.4142 = 6
√C = 6 / 1.4142 = 4.2426
C = 4.2426² = 18
since there were 2 cupcakes left, Christopher must purchase 18 - 2 = 16 cupcakes

Answer:
Simple rate of return = 6.25%
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Net operating income = saving - depreciation on machine
Investment = cost price - scrap value
So, we can calculate the simple rate of return by using following formula:
Simple rate of return = Net operating income ÷ investment
By putting the value, we get
= ($138,000 - $89,200) ÷ ($802,800 - $22,200)
= 0.0625
= 6.25%
