Answer:

the contractor should build 210 Carolina type homes and 60 Savannah type homes

Explanation:

you have to maximize the following equation: 80000C + 90000S

Where:

C = Carolina type homes

S = Savannah type homes

the constraints are:

160000C + 240000S ≤ 48000000

160C + 160S ≤ 43,200

C ≥ 0

S ≥ 0

using solver, the optimal solution is 210C + 60S = $22,200,000

____________________An asset that lacks this attribute may take a long time to sell or be collected (so that it can be converted
g100num [7]

Answer:

Liquidity

Explanation:

Liquidity is the degree to which an asset can be converted to cash.  Assets that can easily be converted are described as liquid assets and include stocks and bonds.

Illiquid assets are not easy to sell. These assets may take a long time to sell or may be sold at a much cheaper price than the purchase price in order to make a quick sale. These include real estate, motor vehicles etc.

An author just signed a lucrative contract with a publisher that offers to pay her the amount of $500 at the end of year 9 when
solong [7]

Answer:

Ans. The annuity that will be equivalent to the publisher´s advance would be $26.40 per year, for 9 years at 7% interest rate.

Explanation:

Hi, first, let´s bring that $500 to be paid in 9 years to present value, we need to use the following formula.

PresentValue=\frac{FutureValue}{(1+r)^{n} }

Where: r is our discount rate (7%) and n the periods from now when she will receive that $500 amount. This should look like this.

PresentValue=\frac{500}{(1+0.07)^{9} } =271.97

Ok, so the equivalent amount of money today of those $500 in nine years is $271.97, but the author wants $100 today so the remaining amount has to be used to find the equal annual payments to be made in order to be equivalent to re remaining balance ($171.97). We now need to use the following equation.

Present Value=\frac{A((1+r)^{n}-1 )}{r(1+r)^{n} }

And we solve for "A" like this

171.97=\frac{A((1+0.07)^{9}-1 )}{0.07(1+0.07)^{9} }

171.97=\frac{A(0.838459212 )}{0.128692145}

171.97=A(6.515232249)

A=\frac{171.97}{6.515232249} = 26.40

Therefore, the equivalent amount of money of $500 in 9 years is $100 today and $26.40 every year, at the end of the year, for nine years.

Best of luck.

The arguments for restricting trade Suppose there is a policy debate regarding the United States’ imposing trade restrictions on
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Infant-industry argument

Explanation:

Infant-industry argument says that a particular industry can't compete with other international competitors because of the economies of scale. So, they demand a temporary protection until they gain economies of scale to be ready to compete on a level playing field.

Note: This can also come in the category of 'unfair competition' argument as huge economies of scales of well established companies create an unfair environment for nascent industries to compete on a same level.
