Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved

invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.

Answer: false

Explanation:

The alternative to the term of agreement is the declaration of bankruptcy, in which the cities can extract their pensions, it gives a much better alternative. It also increases the bargaining powers of the members of the city. It will help in extracting concessions from the government. It also increases the disagreement value of the city.

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

Cost, revenue, and profit are in dollars and x is the number of units. Suppose that the marginal revenue for a product is MR = 1
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Profit 6,130

Explanation:

MC = 30X + 4

when X=5

Cost to produce 5 units:

We will need to calcualte the MC for 1, 2 , 3, 4 and 5 units and then add them together

MC = 30(5) + 4 = 150 + 4 = 154

MC = 30(4) + 4 = 150 + 4 = 124

MC = 30(3) + 4 = 150 + 4 =  94

MC = 30(2) + 4 = 150 + 4 =  64

MC = 30(1) + 4 = 150 + 4 =   34

Total                                   470

Giving this, now anther way, more easy would be to use the Gauss method to a summatory:

S=\frac{n\times(n+1)}{2}

S to 5 from 1 of (30x+4) =

30 \times \frac{5\times6}{2} +4 \times 5

S = 470

Now we can continue:

Total Marginal cost 470 + Fixed Cost: 900 = 1370

MR = 1500 revenue for adding 1 unit

1500 x 5 = 7500 total revenue

total revenue - total cost = profit

7500 - 1370 = 6,130

liq [111]

Answer:

A. $3,520

B. $13,520

C. $240 monthly

D. 21.55%

Explanation:

A. Calculation for the total interest

Using this formula

Interest = (Principal) (Rate) (Time)

Let plug in the formula

Interest = (8000)(.11)(4)

Interest = $3,520

B. Calculation for the total cost of the car

Using this formula

Total Cost = Down Payment + Principal amount Borrowed + Interest amount

Let plug in the formula

Total Cost = $2,000 + $8,000 + $3,520

Total Cost = $13,520

C. Calculation for the monthly payment

Using this formula

Monthly Payment = (Principal amount Borrowed + Total interest amount ) / Total number of payments

Monthly Payment = ($8,000 + $3,520) / 48

Monthly Payment=$11,520/48

Monthly Payment=$240 monthly

Note 4-year * 12 months will give us 48months

D. Calculation for the annual percentage rate (APR) using this formula

APR= (2 × n × I) / [P × (N + 1)]

Let plug in the formula

APR = (2 × 12 × $3,520) / [$8,000 × (48+1)]

APR =$84,480/$8,000×49

APR=$84,480/$392,000

APR=0.2155×100

APR= 21.55%
