Answer:
Objective function (maximize)
Constraints
- Availabitily of salt:
- Availability of herbs:
- Availability of flour:
Explanation:
This a linear programming problem. We have an objective function (in this case it is the profit) that we want to optimize, but complying with constraints (in this case, the availability of ingredients).
The objective function can be defined taking into account the profits of the two kind of chips:
The constraints can be expressed taking into account the amount of ingredients every unit of chip needs and stating that it has to be less or equal to the availability of this ingredient:
- Availabitily of salt:
- Availability of herbs
- Availability of flour
With these expressions the linear programming problem can be solved.
Answer:
11.61%
Explanation:
First, find the annual percentage return (APR) of this annuity. Using a financial calculator, input the following;
Recurring payment; PMT = -450
Future value ; FV = 27,000
Duration of investment ; N = 4*12 = 48 months
One -time present value; PV = 0
then compute interest rate; CPT I /Y= 0.92% (this is monthly rate)
APR = 0.92*12 = 11.035%
Effective Annual Rate (EAR) formula is as follows;
EAR = (1+ ) ^m -1
EAR = 1+ )^12 -1
EAR = 1.1161 -1
EAR = 0.1161 or 11.61%
