How did Shakespeare save the life of an inmate, literally and figuratively

1 answer:

3 0

In the case of Larry Newton, who was an inmate in solitary confinement, Shakespeare indeed saved his life, literally and figuratively. He lived in solitary confinement for many years, until he was placed in the Shakespeare program where prisoners got to read Shakespeare's works. So instead of pursuing a criminal life within prison, he kept on reading these plays and eventually got out of the solitary confinement and felt a rejuvenated joy for life.

Answer: $1000

Explanation:

First, we calculate the amount if bad debt expense which will be:

= 3% × $50000

= $1500

Therefore, the balance of accounts receivable at the end of the first year will be:

= Amount of bad debts expense - Account written off

= $1500 - $500

= $1000

There will be a lower equilibrium price and quantity if

denis23 [38]

Answer: demand decreases and supply stays the same

Explanation:

The equilibrium price refers to the price whereby the quantity of goods that's demanded and the quantity of goods that's supplied is equal.

On the other hand, the equilibrium quantity is gotten when the quantity of goods demanded and supplied are equal. This is gotten when the demand curve and the supply curve intersects.

It should be noted that there will be a lower equilibrium price and quantity if

In a situation whereby the demand increases and the supply remains the same, the equilibrium quantity and the equilibrium price will increase and vice versa.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

a) maximize 12x+16y subject to x+y≤60; x+2y≤80; 2x-3y≥0; x-9y≤0.

b) 40 fish and 20 beef dinners

c) $800

Explanation:

Let x and y represent the numbers of fish and beef dinners to prepare, respectively. Then the relations these values must satisfy are ...

x + y ≤ 60 . . . . . a maximum of 60 dinners will be sold

0.25x + 0.50y ≤ 20 . . . . . kitchen hours cannot exceed 20

x/y ≥ 3/2 . . . . . . at least 3 fish dinners for each 2 beef dinners will be sold

y ≥ 0.10(x +y) . . . . at least 10% of dinners sold will be beef

While satisfying these relations, we want to maximize the profit function:

p = 12x +16y

a) The linear programming problem can be formulated as ...

Maximize 12x +16y, subject to ...

x + y ≤ 60
x + 2y ≤ 80
2x - 3y ≥ 0
x - 9y ≤ 0

b) The graph shows the constraint inequalities with the comparison symbol reversed. The effect of that is to shade the area that is NOT part of the solution set, leaving the feasible region white. The vertex of the (white) feasible region that makes the profit line farthest from the origin is the solution we're looking for. Once the profit line is plotted so we can compare its slope to the lines bounding the feasible region, it becomes clear which vertex is the one that maximizes profit.

The solution is (x, y) = (40, 20).

40 fish dinners
20 beef dinners

c) The maximum earnings are estimated to be ...

($12)(40) +($16)(20) = $800
