Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

GDP can be defined as a measure to calculate the economic growth of a nation. It includes the production of final goods and services in the geographical boundaries of a nation.

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

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

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

Explanation:

snack bar ice cream

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

Joel takes out a loan with a stated rate of 11. 85% interest. If the interest is calculated weekly, how much greater is Joelâ€™s

vredina [299]

The effective interest rate is greater by 0.72 percentage points as compared to the nominal interest rates.

Computation:

Given,

$(r)$ Nominal Interest rate =11.85%

$(m)$ compounding period = weekly, that is 52.

The formula of the effective interest rate will be used:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Effective Interest Rate}&=(1+\frac{r}{m})^m-1\\&=(1+\frac{0.1185}{52})^{52}-1\\&=(1.00227)^{52}-1\\&=0.1257\;\text{or}\;12.57\%\end{aligned}$
