Which of the following is not correct? a. The consumer price index gives economists a way of turning dollar figures into meaning

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The consumer price index is used to measure the quantity of goods and services that the economy is producing.

Explanation:

CPI or consumer price index is a measure of changes in the average prices of a basket of products and services in a given time. The selected goods and services are a fair representation of consumption expenditure in the economy. Economists use the CPI as a Macroeconomic indicator of inflation.

As a measure of inflation, the CPI statistics communicate increases or decreases in the prices of goods and services in the economy. It forms a basis for policy decisions by the government that aid in the prevention of reduced purchasing power of the dollar. CPI is all about changes in prices and nothing to do with the production of goods and services.

Explanation:

Lowballing strategy is when an organization advertises its low cost product or service and doesn't advertises the hidden costs to attract customers. The customer when interacts the company the sales team most likely make sales due to their experience. Such type of marketing products is common in printers whose cost is kept low whereas the tuner price is kept high which helps them to earn profit.

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 3km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refi

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$6,598,076.21

Explanation:

<h2>THE KEY IS TO FIND OUT THE COST FUNCTION, the calculations are very easy!!!</h2><h2></h2><h3>In order to find the cost function, take a look at the drawing attached. </h3>

We can see the river (sort of) that is 3 km wide and the storage tanks on the other side of the river 8 km apart.

<h3 />

Laying pipes under (across) the river costs 1,000,000 the km & laying pipes over land costs 500,000 per km.

<h3 /><h3>So basically the cost function is 1,000,000 multiplied by something plus 500,000 multiplied by another something.</h3><h3 />

The distance across the river can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem. A side is 3 km the other is unknown, so we call it X. And it is equal to:

$\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2}}=\\\sqrt{9 +x^{2}}$

And we multiply it by 1,000,000; the cost of laying pipe under the river, the we get:

$1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}$

The distance over the land is (8-x), as we can see in the drawing. So we multiply it by its cost, 500,000. And we get 500,000(8-x).

So the cost function f(x) would be:

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)$

<h2>From here, we just have to differentiate and the derivative found must be equal to zero in order to minimize cost. </h2><h3>The value of x when the derivative is zero is plugged in the original function to get the cost.</h3><h3 /><h2>LET'S DO THIS</h2>

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(x)=1000000(9+x^{2})^{1/2}+4000000-500000x\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2} 1000000(9+x^{2})^{-1/2}(2x)-500000\\\\f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000$

$f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000=0\\\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 500000\\\frac{2x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 1\\2x={\sqrt{9+x^2}}\\4x^2=9+x^2\\3x^2=9\\x^2=3\\x=\sqrt{3} \\$

And we plug square root of 3 in the original cost function ad we get

$f(\sqrt{3} )=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+(\sqrt{3} )^{2}} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+3} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{12}+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000(3.46)+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=3464101.62+3133974.60\\f(\sqrt{3})=6598076.21\\$

<h2>so the minimal cost is $6,598,076.21</h2><h2 /><h3 />
