A customer in a coffee shop purchases a blend of two coffees: kenyan, costing $3.50 a pound, and sri lankan, costing $5.60 a pou

Rom4ik [11]

We have to make a system of equations:
x + y = 7; where x stays for pounds of Kenyan coffee, and y stays for pounds of Sri Lankan coffee. And: 3.50 * x + 5.60 * y = 33.95 ( total cost ).
From the 1st equation: x = 7 - y. We have to substitute it into the 2nd equation:
3.50 * ( 7 - y ) + 5.60 * y = 33.95
24.50 - 3.50 y + 5.60 y = 33.95
5.60 y - 3.50 y = 33.95 - 24.50
2.10 y = 9.45
y = 9.45 : 2.10
y = 4.5 lb; x = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5 lb.
Answer: 2.5 lb of Kenyan coffee and 4.5 lb of Sri Lankan.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Diluted earnings per share is $2.87

The extent to which the option would dilute the earnings per share to the extent of the difference between the option of price and the share market price.

The shares that are capable of dilute the earnings can be computed thus:

Market price-option price/market price*outstanding options shares

market price is $36

option price is $30

outstanding options shares is 12,600

($36-$30)/$36*12,600=2,100 shares

Diluted earnings per share=$602,000/(208,000+2100)=$2.87

Mademuasel [1]

Answer: the highest of the minimum wages.

Explanation:

The company will have the pay the minimum wage that is the highest because they are under the authority of all three governments and paying the highest minimum wage would ensure that they automatically follow the minimum wages set by the other two authorities.

For instance; the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, the state minimum wage is $10 per hour and the city minimum is $12 per hour. When the company pays $12 an hour, they would be adhering to the city minimum and automatically adhering to the Federal and State minimums as well.
