Answer:

Piedmont ⇒ government jobs. The northern part of Virginia is loaded with federal government workers and federal agencies. Even though the Piedmont region is much larger, its main source of income comes from government jobs mainly located at the northern part (near Washington D.C.)

Appalachian Plateau ⇒ coal mining. Coal is one of Virginia's most valuable natural resources and it is mined in the Appalachian Plateau region (west of the state).

Blue Ridge Mountain ⇒ farming. The major economic activities in the Blue Ridge Mountain region of Virginia include farming, livestock, lumber and tourism.

Coastal Plain ⇒ tourism. The main sources of income include tourism, shipbuilding and military contractors.

Explanation:

Principal economic activities there include livestock raising, farming, tobacco growing, and lumber production. Commercial apple orchards are found in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The Blue Ridge is a major East Coast recreation area noted for its resorts and scenery. The Appalachian Trail winds atop the range.

The owner of an orange grove must decide when to pick one variety of oranges. She can sell them for $27 a bushel if she sells th

uysha [10]

Answer:

The oranges should be picked in 2 weeks for maximum return

Explanation:

We assume that the return of the owner is y ($)

Assume that the number of weeks the oranges should be picked to have maximum return is x (weeks). (x≥0)

If collect now, the price for each bushel is $27

As the price per bushel decrease by $1.50 per bushel each week

=> After x weeks, the price of a bushel decrease: 1.5x ($)

=> The price of 1 bushel after x weeks is: 27 - 1.5x ($)

If collect now, each tree can yield 7 bushels

As the yield increases by half a bushel per week for the next 5 weeks

=> After x weeks with x ≤ 5, each trees would yields: 7 + 0.5x (bushels)

The return = The price of each bushes × The quantity of bushels

=> $y = (27-1.5x)(7+0.5x)$

⇔ $y= 27 (7 +0.5x) - 1.5x(7+0.5x) = 189 + 13.5x - 10.5x - 0.75x^{2}$

⇔ $y = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189$

We have: if the equation has the form of $y =ax^{2} +bx +c$ with a≠0, its maximum value is: $max y = c - \frac{b^{2} }{4a}$

In the equation $y = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189$ , we have: a = -0.75; b = 3; c = 189

=> $max y = c -\frac{b^{2} }{4a} = 189 - \frac{3^{2} }{4.(-0.75)} = 189 - \frac{9}{-3} = 189 - (-3) = 189+3 = 192$

To look for the number of weeks, we should find x (0≤x≤5) with which y = 192

$192 = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189$

⇔ $-0.75x^{2} + 3x + 189 - 192 = 0$

⇔ $-0.75 x^{2} + 3x - 3 =0$

⇔ $-0.75x^{2} + 4*0.75x - 0.75*4 =0$

⇔ $x^{2} -4x + 4 = 0$

⇔ $(x-2)^{2} = 0$

⇔ x = 2

The oranges should be picked in 2 weeks for maximum return

Alice, Amber, and Andi make and sell pottery. Alice is willing to sell a 5 inch pot for $35, Amber is willing to sell a 5 inch p

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The answers are:

1. combined producer surplus = $69

2. Alice and Amber (b)

Explanation:

A producer surplus is the difference between how much a producer sells a product in the market, and how much he is willing to sell the product for, if the market price is higher than the price he was willing to sell the product for.

The combined producer surplus of the ladies is the sum of their individual producer surpluses, and it is calculated as follows;

Alice: willing price = $35, market price = $70, therefore surplus

= 70 - 35 = $35

Amber: willing price = $38, market price = $70, ∴ surplus = 70 - 38 = $32

Andy: willing price = $68, market price = $70, ∴ surplus = 70 - 68 = $2

Combined producer surplus = 35 + 32 + 2 = $69

b. In this case the price of the 5 inch pot in the market is $45, Alice and Amber will sell their pots because the price in the market exceeds their willing price of $35 and $38 respectively and they will make producer surpluses of $10 and $7 respectively, but Andi on the other hand will not sell her pot because if she does, she will make a loss, as her willing price is $68 and the market price is $45, if she goes ahead to sell she will incur a loss of $23.
