Answer:

D) 75

Explanation:

Our initial production function is:

q = 305X - 2X²        

we calculate the derivative of q:

(q') = 305 - 4X

MP = 305 - 4X

$10 / $2 = 305 - 4X

5 = 305 - 4X

4X = 305 - 5 = 300

x = 300 / 4

x = 75

Omar invested his savings in two investment funds. The $6000 that he invested in Fund A returned a 3% profit. The amount that he
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Investment in fund b = $15,000

Explanation:

Let us assume  funds invested in fund b = x while the sum total of funds invested in fund a & b = Y .ie Y = $6000 + x

Fund A returned $6000 * 3/100 = $180

Fund B returned = x & 10/100 = x/10

8%y(total returns) = funds a returns + fund b returns

8%y = $180 + (x/10)

let is replace y with 6000 + x

(6000 +x) * 8% = 180 + (x/10)

480+ 8x/100 = 180 + (x/10)

480 - 180 = (x/10) - (8x/100)

300 =        (10x - 8x )/100

300 = 2x/100

300*100 = 2x

30,000 = 2x

x = 15, 000

A year ago, Jasper Inc. sold 20-year bonds at par with a coupon rate of 4.5 percent and semiannual payments. The face value of e
scoray [572]

Answer:

= $877.32

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).</em>

<em>Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV</em>

The value of bond for Jasper Inc can be worked out as follows:

Step 1

<em>PV of interest payments</em>

<em>Semi annul interest paymen</em>t

= 4.5% × 1000 × 1/2

= 22.5

<em>Semi-annual yield</em> = 5.6/2 = 2.8% per six months

<em>Total period to maturity (in months)</em>

= (2 × 19) = 38 periods  <em> (Note it was sold a year ago)</em>

<em>PV of interest = </em>

<em> </em>22.5 × (1- (1+0.028)^(-38)/0.028)

= 22.5 ×23.20871226

= 522.196

Step 2

<em>PV of Redemption Value</em>

= 1,000 × (1.056)^(-19)

= 355.128

<em>Price of bond</em>

=  522.19 + 355.12

= $877.32
