Answer:

  • borrow <u>   euros   </u>

Explanation:

You borrow euros to buy dollars.

Assume you borrow $100 euros and buy Euros at the rate 0.8011Euro/$:

  • 100 euros × ( 1 / 0.8011Euro/$) = 124.83$

That means that, on Feb 14, 2018,  with 100 euros you buy $124.83.

Then, you keep the dollars until Mar 15, 2018 and sell them at the rate of 0.8210 Euro/$:

  • 124.83$ × 0.8210 Euro/$ = 102.49 Euro.

In that way, you converted 100Euro into 102.49Euro in 30 days.

That is a return of [102.49 - 100] / [100] × 100 = 2.49%. Then, if you borrowed at a rate less than 2.49% per month, you earned by <em>speculating</em> through the <em>"Short-selling" method</em>.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Objective function:

Maximize Z: 30P1 + 25P2 + 28P3

Subject to:   2.00P1 + 1.50P2 + 3.00P3 ≤ 450 (Department A constraint)

                    2.50P1  + 2.00P2 + P3       ≤ 350 (Department B constraint)

                    0.25P1  + 0.25P2 + 0.25P3 ≤ 50  (Department C constraint)

                           P1, P2, P3                       ≥  0 (Non-negativity)

Explanation:

The objective function is formulated from the contribution margin of the three products. For instance, the contribution of Product 1 is $30, the contribution of Product 2 is $25 and the contribution of Product 3 is $28. Thus, the objective function will be 30P1 + 25P2 + 28P3.

The constraints were obtained from the departmental labour hours requirements for each product. For instance, Product 1 requires 2 hours in department A, Product 2 requires 1.50 hours in department A and Product 3 requires 3 hours in Department A. Thus, the constraint will be 2.00P1 + 1.50P2 + 3.00P3.

Maurice can drive or fly from Jacksonville, Florida to Atlanda, Georgia, for a one-day business trip. If he drives, he will be a
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

c. $150.

Explanation:

the extra amount of hours Maurice can work taking a flight will be of 5 hours

(8 hours taking a plane against 3 hours if driving)

As the income per hour is 30 dollar it can generate;

5 hours x $30 per hour = $150

Maurice will only travel by plane if it generates the same or more income than the driving thus, a differencial price of less than 150 dollars will provide Maurice with a net gain. Also we should consider that if Maurice drives his car it is taking a depreication hit per mile while driving that is being ignoer to keep the assignment simple. But considering that the amount of differential income could be higher than $150
