Answer:

a.

25 b+20 s=455...equation 1

b+s=20...equation 2, where b and s are the number of bicycle and in-line skate rentals per day.

b. The business had 11 bicycle rentals and 9 in-line skate rentals.

Explanation:

a.

<em>Step 1: Determine an equation for total revenue today</em>

Since the business rents bicycles and in-line skates, the total revenue will be as a result of amount received in revenue from renting the bicycles and in-line skates. This can be expressed as shown;

T=(B×b)+(S×s)

where;

T=total revenue

B=bicycle rental cost per day

b=number of bicycles

S=in-line skate rental cost per day

s=number of in-line skates

In our case;

T=$455

B=$25 per day

b=unknown

S=$20 per day

s=unknown

Replacing;

(25×b)+(20×s)=455

25 b+20 s=455...equation 1

<em>Step 2: Determine an equation for total rentals today</em>

The equation for the total number of rentals is;

R=b+s

where;

R=total number of rentals today

b=number of bicycles

s=number of in-line skates

In our case;

R=20

b=unknown

s=unknown

Replacing;

b+s=20...equation 2

b.

<em>Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 ans solve simultaneously</em>

1(25 b+20 s=455), multiplying equation 1 by 1=25 b+20 s=455

     20(b+s=20), multiply equation 2 by 20=20 b+20 s=400

25 b+20 s=455

-

20 b+20 s=400

5 b+0 s=55

(5 b)/5=55/5=11

b=11, replace the value for b in equation 2 and solve;

(20×11)+20 s=400

220+20 s=400

20 s=400-220=180

20 s=180

s=(180/20)=9

The business had 11 bicycle rentals and 9 in-line skate rentals.

If a painter tells you that he would spent $30 on a resperator (but not $31) that protects him from paint fumes that produce a 0
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$300,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount the painter would like to spend on a respirator = $30

Chances of paint fume killing the painter = 0.01%

Now,

The cash value he places on the life of painter

= [ Amount spent on respirator ] ÷ [ Probability of death ]  

or

= 30 ÷ 0.01%

or

= 30 ÷ 0.0001

or

= $300,000

A firm sells a product in a purely competitive market. The marginal cost of the product at the current output of 200 units is $4
posledela

Answer:

D. Should Shut Down

Explanation:

A perfect competition firm is at profit maximising equilibrium where : Marginal Revenue [Price] = Marginal Cost .

If MR > MC : Firm's additional production is profitable, it tends to increase production. If MR < MC : Firm's additional production is loss making, it tends to decrease production.

However, If firm's Price i.e MR < Average Variable Cost : The firm's per unit price is even unable to cover it's per unit average variable cost. This situation is referred to as 'Shut Down' point & firm should close down its production in the case.

Given : MR = P = 3 ; MC = 4 ; AVC = 3.5 . The firm's price P (3) is not only lesser by its Marginal Cost MC (4), to decrease production ; but also lesser than its Average Variable Cost AVC (3.5) . So, the firm should shut down.

In 2021, Carson is claimed as a dependent on his parents' tax return. His parents report taxable income of $200,000 (married fil
serg [7]

Carson's tax liability for 2021 as a 23-year full-time student, who earns from the summer internship and part-time job and receives a qualified dividend is $645.

<h3>What is tax liability?</h3>

Tax liability refers to the amount that a taxpayer is obliged to pay.

The tax liability is a function of the taxpayer's taxable income, tax bracket, deductions, and applicable tax rate.

In this case, we have assumed a flat tax rate of 10% for both Carlson's earned income and the dividend income.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Earned income = $14,000

Qualified Dividend income = $5,000

Adjusted taxable income = $6,450 ($19,000 - $12,550)

Tax liability = $645 ($6,450 x 10%)

Thus, Carson's tax liability for 2021 is $645.
