Answer:

The best rate for the hotel for profit maximization is = 340 $/room

Explanation:

Given that

A hotel room has = 50 rooms

The rate per night = $180

More room are available when the rate is increased by = $10

A maintenance fee of =$20

Now

We find the best rate for the hotel in order to  have for profit

Thus,

When no rate increase is found we have the following,

Cost = ( 180 $/room * 50) = $ 9000

Thus,

When there is a rate increase for a room, we have the following

10x $/ room

The new cost becomes = (180 + 10x) $/room * (50 - x)

which is = 9000 = 500x - 180 x - 10x²

= 9000 + 320 x - 10x²

To get the new profit, we have the following :

Thus,

Profit = (New cost) - (cost)

Profit = (9000 + 320 x - 10x²) - (9000)

= 320x - 10x²

By applying maximization

dp/dx = 0 = 320 -10 * 2x = 0

So,

x = 16

Therefore,the best rate for the hotel for profit maximization is = (180 + 10 * 16)

=340 $/room

A buyer with a 15-year, $250,000 loan at a 5.5% interest rate has a monthly principal and interest payment totaling $2,042.71. W
lorasvet [3.4K]

<u>Given:</u>

Loan amount = $250000

Interest rate = 5.5%

Interest payment = $2042.71

<u>To find:</u>

Total amount of interest

<u>Solution:</u>

The total number of months in 15 years = 15\times12=180\text{ years }

Total monthly payments will be 180\times \$2042.71 = \$367687.8

So, the total pay-backs will be $3,67,687.8

Total interest paid will be as follows,

\text{Total interest paid = Total pay-backs - Loan amount}

On plugging-in the values in the above formula we get,

\Rightarrow \$3,67,687.8-\$250,000=\$1,17,687.80

Therefore, the total amount of interest that the borrower will pay over the course of the loan is $1,17,687.80.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Yes

Explanation: In the above case, a quasi-contract was formed. This is when a bilateral contract is not in place but one party will enjoy the benefit of the activities of the other party and may be enriched  by it.  

A bilateral agreement is the exchange of a promise for another and in this case would have been, the promise that Dozier would pay for Paschall’s work. This was not established, however, Dozier will benefit from Paschall’s work unduly if he does not pay for the improvements. The law holds that he has to pay for Paschall’s work to prevent being unjustly enriched.

Scenario​ : The average total cost to produce 100 cookies is​ $0.25 per cookie. The marginal cost is constant at​ $0.10 for all
nika2105 [10]

Answer: D. $20

Explanation:

Total cost to produce 50 cookies = Total cost to produce 100 cookies - Marginal cost to produce 50 cookies

Total cost to produce 100 cookies is:

= Average total cost * number of cookies

= 0.25 * 100

= $25

Marginal cost to produce 50 cookies is:

= Constant marginal cost * number of cookies

= 0.10 * 5

= $5.00

Total cost to produce 50 cookies = 25 - 5

= $20.00
