The base of an aquarium with given volume V is made of slate and the sides are made of glass. If the slate costs three times as

much (per unit area) as glass, use Lagrange multipliers to find the dimensions of the aquarium that minimize the cost of the materials.

Answer:

See details on explanation below...

Explanation:

By having  a value for volume (v) the solution is as followed:

Let's develop expression for the cost of materials based on one of the dimensions.

Let w= width of the base;

d= depth of the base; and

h= height of the aquarium

C= cost

C= cost of base + cost of walls

=(5)(w×d)+(1)(2(w+d)×h)

Minimum will be performed when the width and the depth are the same.

So we are only need the case (substituting w for d)

C=5w^2+4wh

Volume in this case is expressed as

v=w^2h

So if we re-write our Cost equation as

C=5w^2+4w^2h/w

So we obtain

C=5w^2+4vw^−1

By finding the minimum cost, we take the derivative of this and set the result to zero.

dC/dw=10w−4vw^−2

So this equation is solved for w and via substitution for d and h.  Once a value has been established for the volume (v)

Suppose the initial inflation rate and inflation target are both 2%, that the real federal funds rate is 2%, and that the econom
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a. 4%

b. 10%

Explanation:

1. Federal funds target = Real Federal funds rate + Inflation rate + 1/2( inflation gap) + 1/2(output gap)

Inflation gap = Current inflation - inflation target = 2% - 2% = 0

Economy is at full employment so output gap is 0.

= 2% + 2% + 1/2(0) + 1/2 (0)

= 4%

2. Federal funds target = Real Federal funds rate + Inflation rate + 1/2( inflation gap) + 1/2(output gap)

= 2% + 6% + 1/2(6% - 2%) + 1/2(0)

= 10%

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

D. The constant growth model cannot be used for a zero growth stock, where the dividend is expected to remain constant over time.

Explanation:

So, we evaluate each option.

a. We discount the dividends by the required rate of return. So incorrect.

b. The dividend yield is annual dividend per share divided by stick price per share. the 5% is the growth in dividend and not the actual dividend itself. So, incorrect.

c. The constant growth is appropriate for companies whose dividend patterns are stable. Startups have multiple stage growths and this option becomes incorrect as constant growth is not applicable.

d. A zero growth stock is one where dividend remains the same. So when there is no growth in dividend, the constant growth model becomes inapplicable. So, the statement is correct.

So, here we have our correct statement and all others are incorrect.
