Answer: D
Explanation:
We are given a comparison between 'economic growth' and 'growth energy consumption' and told that the first increased and the second did not. We are also told that a certain amount of oil is being saved by energy improvements. As it is difficult to infer a likely answer in 'must or could be true' type questions, we'll go over all of the options, the Alternative approach.
A. We have no information on the relative ease of finding new sources of oil. No
B. We have no information on how to reduce oil imports. No
C. We have no information on what caused energy consumption to remain steady. No
D. This is exactly what happened so is true. This is almost certainly our answer, let's go over (Correct )
E. We have no information on the link between development of energy sources and growth. No
(D) is our answer; note that all other answers explicitly added information not in the original passage. This is what you need to watch out for in these types of questions.
Answer:
Explanation:
What is given:
The price of a new fabricating machine - 60
The price of a one-year-old machine - 51
The real interest rate is 10% per year
Marginal product of fabricating machines 165-2K (K - desired number machines)
If calculate the depreciation, (60-51)/51 = 15%
a) Find user cost of capital
User cost of capital is the sum of interest rate and depreciation cost multiplied by the price of new machine
= 60*(0.10+0.15) = 15 units
b) Determine the number of machines that will allow Missing Link to maximize its profit
165-2K=15
2K = 150
K = 75 machines
c)
Suppose that Missing Link must pay a tax equal to 40% of its gross revenue. What is the optimal number of machines for the company?
165-2K = 15/(1-0.4)
165-2K=14/0.6
165-2K=25
2K=140
K=70 macines
Answer:
$42
Explanation:
APR = 18% , month rate = 18%/12 = 1.5%
Fee for cash advance = 2%
Cash advance of the first day of month = $1,200
Finance charge = Cash advance * (Monthly rate + Advance cash fee)
Finance charge = $1,200*1.5% + $1,200*2%
Finance charge = $18 + $24
Finance charge = $42
So, the approximate total finance charge i will pay on this cash advance for the month is $42

Answer:
Explanation is given below
Explanation:
Given that, the total budget for the media is only $1,000 per month.
For the allocation, each type of media would get at least 25% of the budget.
Hence, from the available information, we have the following:
Parameters:
$1000 = Monthly advertising budget
25%= Minimum spending for each type of media
50 = Value of the index for local newspaper advertising
80= Value of the index for spot radio advertising
Decision variables;
x1= Newspaper advertising budget
x2= Radio advertising budget
LP Model;
Maximize Z=50x1+ 80x2
Subject to:x1+ x2≤1000
x1≥ 250
x2≥ 250
x1,x2≥ 0
p.s. OptimumZ=72, 500,
x1=250,
x2=750
