Answer:

Temporary help (or work) agencies help businesses reduce costs associated to hiring full time employees, e.g. health benefits. The use of temporary workers and independent contractors has been increasing a lot lately. Currently around 20% of the total workforce in the US is either classified as contractors or temporary workers and that number may increase to 50% in the future. Therefore the market for temporary workers and contractors should only continue to grow.

Answer:

p = 59.11 dollars

Explanation:

Given

Price: p(x) = 8eˣ (0 ≤ x ≤ 2)

Revenue; R = x*p = 8xeˣ

p = ? when R be at maximum

We can apply

dR/dx = d(x*p)/dx = 0

⇒ d(8xeˣ)/dx = 8*(1*eˣ + x*eˣ) = 0

⇒ eˣ*(1 + x) = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

as x = - 1 ∉ [0, 2]

then, we have

p(0) = 8e⁰ = 8

R = 0*8 = 0

If x = 1

p(1) = 8e¹ ≈ 21.74

R = 1*21.74 = 21.74

If x = 2

p(2) = 8e² ≈ 59.11

R = 2*59.11 = 118.22

Implies that, R(x) is maximum at x = 2.

Thus, the price that maximize the revenue of the company is 59.11 dollars.

Answer:

$814.10

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the price of the bond now

Using this formula

Bond price = PV of coupon payments + PV of face value

Bond price= C×((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]}) + FV / (1 + r)t

Let plug in the formula

Bond price= [(.080 ×$1,000) / 2] ×[[1 / (.12 / 2)] – (1 / {(.12 / 2)[1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)})] + $1,000 / [1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)

Bond price= $814.10

Therefore the price of the bond now is $814.10
