Answer: Graph of (A) (B) and {D) are attached accordingly.

Explanation:

A)

The critical region of the constraints can be seen in the following diagram -

(0,9) (0,5) (0,3) (0,0) (3,0) (5,0) (9,0) The feasible region is shown in white

The intersection points are found by using these equations -

Vertex Lines Through Vertex Value of Objective

(3,2) x+3y = 9; 2x+2y = 10 48

(9,0) x+3y = 9; y = 0 72

(2,3) 2x+2y = 10; 6x+2y = 18 52

(0,9) 6x+2y = 18; x = 0 108

So, we can see the minimum value of the objective function occurs at point (3,2) and the minimum value of the objective function is = 48.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B)

When we change the coefficients of the variables in the objective function, the optimal solution may or may not change as the weights (coefficient) are different for each constraints for both the variabls. So, it all depends on the coefficient of the variables in the constraints.

In this case, the optimal solution does not change on changing the coefficient of X from 8 to 6 in the objective function.

The critical region would remain same (as shown below) as it is defined by the constraints and not the objective function.

(0,9) (0,5) (0,3) (0,0) (3,0) (5,0) (9,0) The feasible region is shown in white

However, the optimal value of the objective function would change as shown below-

Vertex Lines Through Vertex Value of Objective

(3,2) x+3y = 9; 2x+2y = 10 42

(9,0) x+3y = 9; y = 0 54

(2,3) 2x+2y = 10; 6x+2y = 18 48

(0,9) 6x+2y = 18; x = 0 108

So, we can see that the minimum value now has become 42 (which had to change obviously).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C)

Now, when we change the coefficient of the variable Y from 12 to 6, again the critical region would remain same as earlier. But in this case, the optimal solution changes as shown below -

Vertex Lines Through Vertex Value of Objective

(3,2) x+3y = 9; 2x+2y = 10 36

(9,0) x+3y = 9; y = 0 72

(2,3) 2x+2y = 10; 6x+2y = 18 34

(0,9) 6x+2y = 18; x = 0 54

We can see that the minimum value now occurs at (2,3) which is 34, so both the optimal solution and optimal value have changed in this case.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D)

When we limit the range of the variables as -

4 \leq X \leq 8 \:\: and\:\: 12\leq Y \leq 24,

the critical region now becomes -

So, the new critical points are (4,12), (4,24), (8,24) and (8,12).

So, the values of the objective function at these points can be calculated as -

Vertex Value of Objective

(4,12) 8*4+12*12 = 176

(4,24) 8*4+12*24 = 320

(8,24) 8*8+12*24 = 352

(8,12) 8*8+12*12 = 208

So, the new optimal solution is (4,12) and the optimal value is 176.

if we knew the range of the variables in the part B and C earlier, we could have just said that the optimal solution will not change as the value would have been no longer depended on the coefficients of variables in the constraints.

Explanation:

We are going to discount the sales commission from the proceeds of the home, this will be the net cash  received from Jim

                             sales price 478,723

commission 6% of 478,723 = 39723.38

how does the IoT and Big Data currently play into your job, your organization and the industry? Are these two things connected a
emmainna [20.7K]

<u>Explanation:</u>

The term IoT is an acronym for 'Internet of Things' which refers to a modern technology that allows certain physical objects or “things” as we may call it to connect to the internet.

While Big Data refers not just to large data, but to an innovative field of technology that specializes in analyzing very large (big) data sets.

Consider the education industry, by means of IoT, it is possible for school management to effectively track their student's academic progress in real-time.

IoT and Big Data connected in the sense that, as these physical things (objects) communicate over the internet, a mass amount of data ("Big Data") is been generated which could then be analyzed using specialized software. In other words, they are mutually beneficial.

slega [8]

Answer:

management has not explained its business purpose

Explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the firm is engaged in the new financial transaction that contains the material impact on the earnings so this represents that it could be come under the pre existed accounting standards.

Also everyone should be aware of the business purpose plus it is not established for changing off the financial statements

So it would be suspicious because the purpose of the business could not be explained
