Maggie Stewart loves desserts. But, due to weight and cholesterol concerns, she has decided that she must plan her desserts care

fully. There are two possible desserts she is considering: snack bars and icecream. After reading the nutrition labels on the snack bar and ice-cream packages, she learns that each serving of a snack bar weighs 37 grams and contains 120 calories and 5 grams of fat. Each serving of icecream weighs 65 grams and contains 160 calories and 10 grams of fat. Maggie will allow herself no more than 450 calories and 25 grams of fat in her daily desserts, but because she loves desserts so much, she requires at least 120 grams of dessert per day.

Answer:

The option that maximizes Maggie's taste index is 1 snack bar and 2 ice creams

Explanation:

<u>snack bar</u>                  <u>ice cream</u>

37 grams                   65 grams

120 calories              160 calories

5 grams of fat           10 grams of fat

Maggie wants to consume up to 450 calories and 25 grams of fat, but she needs at least 120 grams of dessert per day. Ice cream taste 95, snack bars 85.

  • maximize taste index = [85(37X) + 95(65Y)] / (37X + 65Y)
  • 5X + 10Y ≤ 25 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 1
  • 120X + 160Y ≤ 450 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 2
  • 37X + 65Y ≥ 120 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 3
  • X ≥ 0 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 4
  • Y ≥ 0 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 5

maximum possible combinations following constraint 1, 4 AND 5:

  • option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams (5 + 20 = 25)
  • option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream (10 + 10 = 20)
  • option 3: 3 snack bars - 1 ice cream (15 + 10 = 25)

possible combinations following constraint 2:

  • option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams (120 + 320 = 440)
  • option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream (240 + 160 = 400)

possible combination following constraint 3:

  • option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams (37 + 130 = 167)
  • option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream (74 + 65 = 139)

since we only have two possibilities, we can calculate which one generates the highest taste index

maximize taste index = [85(37X) + 95(65Y)] / (37X + 65Y)

  • option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams = [85(37) + 95(130)] / (37 + 130) = (3,145 + 12,350) / 167 = 92.78
  • option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream = [85(74) + 95(65)] / (74 + 65) = (6,290 + 6,175) / 139 = 89.68

arlik [135]

Answer:

0.539

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against the change in price of the product. It shows how much demand changes if there is the change in price.

Under mid-point method the price elasticity can be calculated as follow

where

S = Quantity

P = Price

Change in Quantity = ( S2 - S1 ) / [ ( S2 + S1 )/2 ]

Change in Quantity = ( 6,060 - 7,070 ) / [ ( 6,060 + 7,070 )/2 ]

Change in Quantity = -1,010 / 6,565

Change in Quantity = -0.153846

Change in price = ( P2 - P1 ) / [ ( P2 + P1 )/2 ]

Change in price = ( $4,004 - $3,003 ) / [ ( $4,004 + $3,003 )/2 ]

Change in price  = $1,001 / $3,503.5

Change in price  = 0.285714

Elasticity of Supply = Change in Quantity / Change in Price

Elasticity of Supply = -0.153846 / 0.285714 = -0.5385

Elasticity of Supply = -0.539

Net Worth is equal to assets minus liabilities. Which event will have the greatest impact (positive or negative) on one's net wo
ad-work [718]
I would say that for most people, buying an apartment or a house would be the most major thing they could do that would affect their net worth. Initially it would be mostly a liability at first but as it appreciates, especially if it is in a big city where the population keeps growing then it most likely will appreciate and then the owner's assets will increase since their equity will increase.

When the economy is in a recession, expansionary fiscal policy can be used to stimulate and encourage economic growth. Which of
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

A. The government lowers tax rates and undertakes a replacement of old bridges and roads

B. The government lowers tax rates and issues a partial refund of taxes that have already been paid

These 2 statements are correct explained below

Explanation:

A. The government lowers tax rates and undertakes a replacement of old bridges and roads, this statement is correct because when the government lowers tax rates it means that people have higher disposable income on their hands therefore they can spend more which increases demand, and people also invest more which increases supply, also the replacement of bridges and roads is improvement in infrastructure and this also increases supply as transportation is easier and cheaper for businesses.

B. The government lowers tax rates and issues a partial refund of taxes that have already been paid, this statement is correct because when the government lowers tax rates it means that people have higher disposable income on their hands therefore they can spend more which increases demand, and people also invest more which increases supply, also refund of taxes will increase the disposable money that people have so they can invest and consume both which will increase both supply and demand.

C. The government raises tax rates and reduces unemployment insurance payment

This is contraction fiscal policy and will do the opposite of expansionary fiscal policy, that is why this statement is incorrect.

D. The Federal Reserve increases the money supply and lowers the interest rate while the government simultaneously reduces future taxes. This statement is wrong because lowering the interest rate is an expansionary monetary policy and not an expansionary fiscal policy.

For each of the following scenarios, begin by assuming that all demand factors are set to their original values and Peacock is c
Elden [556K]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

For every one of the accompanying situations, start by expecting that all interest factors are set to their unique qualities and Peacock is charging $300 per room every night.  

1) If the normal family unit pays increments by 20%, from $50,000 to $60,000 every year, the amount of rooms requested at the Peacock ascends from 200 rooms every night to 250 rooms every night. Accordingly, the pay flexibility of interest is certain, implying that lodgings at the Peacock are ordinary products.  

<u>Explanation:</u> Income elasticity of demand = 25% divide by 20% = 1.3

At the point when raise in salary prompts an expansion in the amount requested (or a fall in pay prompts a fall in the amount requested), the great is known as an ordinary decent.  

2) In the event that the cost of an aircraft ticket from JFK to LAS was to increment by 10%, from $200 to $220 roundtrip, while all other interest factors stay at their underlying qualities, the amount of rooms requested at the Peacock tumbles from 200 rooms for every night to 150 rooms for each night. Since the cross-value versatility of interest is negative, lodgings at the Peacock and aircraft trips among JFK and LAS are supplements.

<u>Explanation:</u> Cross elasticity of demand = -25% divide by 10% = -2.5

Two merchandise ordered supplements when a raise the cost of one great abatement the amount requested of the other or when a fall in the cost of one great expands the amount requested of the other.  

3) Peacock is discussing diminishing the cost of its rooms to $275 every night. Under the underlying interest conditions, you can see this would make its all-out income increment. Diminishing the cost will consistently have this impact on income when Peacock is working on the flexible part of its interest bend.  

<u>Explanation:</u> Total revenue = $300 per room per night multiply with 200 rooms = $60,000 per night

By bringing down its cost to $275, Triple Sevens can occupy 225 rooms. In such situation, all-out income is $275 per room every night multiply 225 rooms = $61,875 every night  

At the point when the request is versatile, the rate change in cost is littler than the rate change in an amount as the purchasers are exceptionally delicate to changes in cost.
