The budget for making the movie The Twilight Saga: New Moon was one-fifth the budget for making Harry Potter: The Half Blood Pri
sergey [27]

Answer:

The budget for The Twilight Saga: New Moon = $50 million

Explanation:

Let the budget for Twilight Saga: New Moon = T

Let the budget for Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince = H

We are given the following:

T=\frac{1}{5}H (The budget for Twilight Saga is one-fifth the budget for Harry Potter)

Cross multiplying the equation

5T = H  - - - - (1)

H + T = 300,000,000 - - - - - (2) (Together the budgets totaled $300 million)

Next, let us substitute the value of H in equation (2) with equation (1)

(5T) + T = 300,000,000

6T = 300,000,000

T = \frac{300,000,000}{6} \\T = 50,000,000

Therefore, the budget for The Twilight Saga: New moon = $50,000,000

And the budget for Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince = $250,000,000

An indifference curve illustrates ... a) how consumers are indifferent about the location of their own consumption levels relati
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Option c) how a consumer might trade off different levels of consumption of each of two goods, while staying at the same utility level.

Explanation:

This is the very definition of an indifference curve. The points in an indifference curve are the combinations of the quantities (level of consumption) of two different goods which will produce the very same utility to the consumer. The consumer will perceive any of those combinations as having the same utility for him.  

For example, a usual graph of various indifference curves will look like the graph attached.

In this graph the combination of 2 pairs of shoes and 15 pants will be perceived as having the same utility as the combination of 5 pairs of shoes and 4 pants. Both are combinations in the same indifference curve, the green one, and the utility of any combination lying in that green curve will be rated the same: u = 1.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Both microeconomics and macroeconomics involve examining economic behavior, but they differ in terms of the scale of the subjects being studied.

Explanation:

Microeconomics is the field of economics that looks at the economic behaviors of individuals, households, and companies. Macroeconomics takes a wider view and looks at the economies on a much larger scale—regional, national, continental, or even global. Microeconomics and macroeconomics are both vast areas of study in their own rights.

In its first 10 years a mutual fund produced an average annual return of 20.4420.44​%. Assume that money invested in this fund c
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

3.73 years or 4 years approx

Explanation:

The computation of the number of years taken for money invested for double is shown below:

As we know that

Amount = Principal × (1 + interest rate ÷ time period)^interest rate × time period

where,

We assume the principal be P

And, the amount is 2P

And, the other values would remain the same

So,

2P = P (1 + 0.2044 ÷ time period)^ 1  × time period

2 = (1.2044)^ time period

Now take the log both sides

ln2 = ln (1.2044)^time period

ln2 - time period ln (1.2044)

So,

time period = ln(2) ÷ ln (1.2044)

= 3.73 years or 4 years approx
