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.

finlep [7]

Answer:

Yes, I would support the denial because rules and regulations apply to everyone, and that includes businesses. Zoning rules exist in real estate to make sure that some areas or neighborhoods are used for certain specific purposes, e.g. residential areas, industrial areas or commercial areas. If those rules regulations didn't exist, it would be a complete mess and anyone could just set a factory besides a condo or a school. Either everyone follows the rules or no one does.

Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.00%, the average expected future inflation rate is 5.90%, and a maturity risk premium of 0.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answer is 9.00%

Explanation:

real risk-free rate = 3.00%

average expected future inflation rate = 5.90%

Maturity risk premium = 0.10%

The expected rate of return on a 1 year treasury security would be = the average expected future inflation rate + maturity risk premium + real risk-free rate.

= 3.00% + 5.90% + 0.10%

= 9.00%

In long-run equilibrium with trade, losses from import competition will force some firms to ______________, increasing demand fo
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

In an open economy, domestic firms have to face competition from the foreign producers. If firms face losses in the long run, because of import competition, these firms will leave the industry.

As the number of domestic firms get reduced, the demand curve of the other firms will become flatter. This happens because of the foreign firms that bring in a large variety of goods in the domestic market.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a positive correlation.

Explanation:

Correlation can say something about the relationship between variables. It is used to understand:

1. If the relationship is positive or negative

2. The strength of the relationship.

Correlation is a powerful tool that provides vital pieces of information.

In the case of family income and family spending, it is easy to see that both rise or fall together in the same direction. This is called a positive correlation.

In the case of price and demand, the change occurs in the opposite direction, so that the increase in one is accompanied by a decrease in the other. This is known as a negative correlation.
