Answer:

5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenya coffee

Explanation:

First, we need to know the proportion of every coffee in the mix trying with different percentages until getting the result of $13,49  

 

($9,50*25%)+($13,80*75%)=$12,73  

 

($9,50*10%)+($13,80*90%)=$13,37  

 

($9,50*7,5%)+($13,80*92,5%)=$13,48  

 

($9,50*7,3%)+($13,80*92,7%)=$13,49  

 

So, the percentage of Costa Rican coffee is 7,3% and Kenya coffee is 92,7%  

And we can get the pounds required to get 70 pounds  

 

70*7,3%=5,11

 

70*92,7%=64,89

   

We need 5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenyan coffee to create 70 pounds of mixed coffee that can sell for $13,49 per pound

allsm [11]

Answer:

c. An overdraft is a fee your bank charges you for opening a checking account.

Explanation:

Checking account is a deposit account with a bank or any  financial institution that allows the owner of such account to make withdrawals and deposits. They are also known as demand accounts or transactional accounts. They are very liquid and allows for countless deposits and withdrawals and can be obtained  by using automated teller machines, checks and electronic debits, and a number of  other methods.

A checking account is unlike other bank accounts like less liquid savings or investments account it allows for countless withdrawals and unlimited deposits, and savings accounts sometimes limit both.

The statement that an overdraft is a fee that banks charges for opening a checking account is false.

Overdraft is a form of extension of credit from a finiancial institution and often granted when an account reaches zero. it allow such account holder to continue withdrawing money even though the account has no funds  or insufficient funds that would cater  for and cover the amount of the withdrawal. So it is not the fee that bank charges for opening a checking account, instead what checking account offers is overdraft protection in which if a checking account owner write a check or make a purchase than the funds in the checking account, the bank may cover the difference.
