Answer: $12 billion

Explanation:

Given that,

Required reserve ratio (rr) =  25 percent

Fed purchases government securities = $3 billion

Money multiplier = \frac{1}{rr}

                            = \frac{1}{0.25}

                            = 4

Lending ability of the commercial banking system will increase by:

= Money multiplier × Increase in Fed purchases

= 4 × $3 billion

= $12 billion

Raggs, Ltd. a clothing​ firm, determines that in order to sell x​ suits, the price per suit must be p=120 - 0.5 x. It also deter
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A) R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) 80

D) 2300

E) 80

Explanation:

Given the following :

Price of suit 'x' :

p = 120 - 0.5x

Cost of producing 'x' suits :

C(x)=2500 + 0.25 x^2

A) calculate total revenue 'R(x)'

Total Revenue = price × total quantity sold, If total quantity sold = 'x'

R(x) = (120 - 0.5x) * x

R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) Total profit, 'p(x)'

Profit = Total revenue - Cost of production

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (120x - 0.5x^2) - (2500 + 0.25x^2)

P(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2 - 2500 - 0.25x^2

P(x) = - 0.5x^2 - 0.25x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) To maximize profit

Find the marginal profit 'p' (x)'

First derivative of p(x)

d/dx (p(x)) = - 2(0.75)x + 120

P'(x) = - 1.5x + 120

-1.5x + 120 = 0

-1.5x = - 120

x = 120 / 1.5

x = 80

D) maximum profit

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(80) = - 0.75(80)^2 + 120(80) - 2500

= -0.75(6400) + 9600 - 2500

= -4800 + 9600 - 2500

= 2300

E) price per suit in other to maximize profit

P = 120 - 0.5x

P = 120 - 0.5(80)

P = 120 - 40

P = $80
