Answer:

c. A new technology such as the Internet has just been introduced, and it increases investment opportunities.

Explanation:

Nominal interest rate is the sum of real interest rate and expected inflation rate.

If expected inflation rate falls, the nominal interest rate also falls.

During a recession, people are more unwilling to borrow funds ,this pushes interest rate down.

If investment opportunities increases, the demand for funds would increase and nominal interest rate would increase too.

I hope my answer helps you

Answer:

The level of production x that will maximize the profit is: 22,966

Explanation:

C(x) = 50,000 + 100x + x³

R(x) = 3400x

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

= 3400x - [50,000 + 100x + x³]

= 3400x - 50,000 - 100x - x³

= 3300x - 50,000 - x³ .................... (A)

P'(x) = 3300(1) - 0 - 3x²

= 3300 - 3x²

At a critical point, P'(x) = 0

∴ 0 = 3300 - 3x²

3x² = 3300

x² = 1100

x = ± $\sqrt{1100}$

P"(x) = -6x

P( $\sqrt{1100}$ ) = -6 ( $\sqrt{1100}$ ) < 0

by second derivative, 'P' max at x = $\sqrt{1100}$ = 33.17 (rounds)

since x = $\sqrt{1100}$ ,

recall that P(x) = 3300x - 50,000 - x³ from equation (A)

Therefore, Maximum Profit

P( $\sqrt{1100}$ ) = 3300 $\sqrt{1100}$ - 50000 - $\sqrt{1100} ^{3}$

= 3300(33.17) - 50,000 - 33.17³

= 109461 -50,000 - 36495.26

= 22,965.74

Maximum profit is 22,966 to the nearest whole number

Marina CMI [18]

If I purchased 1,300 shares of lakeside bank stock for $23.32 a share. The total worth of the share is 1, 300 * 23.32 = $30, 316. Okay I received payments dividend worth 0.61 a share; that becomes 0.61 * 23.32 = $14.2252. I sold 1, 300 shares for $24.32. So I sold it for 1, 300 * 24.32 = $31616. My total return = (Amount I sold the share + dividend received) - Amount I bought the share. So we have (31616 + 14.2552) - 30316 = $31630.2552 - $ 30, 316 = $1314.2552
