Answer: 3.75 Riyals / USD

Explanation:

The Real Exchange rate is different from the Nominal exchange rate as it takes into account, the differences between the 2 nations being compared in terms of prices of goods and services.

As such it can be used to calculate the Nominal rate;

Real Exchange Rate = (Cost in U.S. x Nominal Exchange Rate) / Cost in Saudi Arabia

2/3 = (10 x Nominal Exchange Rate) / 56.25

2/3 x 56.25 = 10 x Nominal Exchange Rate

10 x Nominal Exchange Rate = 37.50

Nominal Exchange Rate = 37.50 / 10

Nominal Exchange Rate = 3.75 Riyals / USD

<em />

<em>The nominal exchange rate is 3.75 Riyals for every $1. </em>

anyanavicka [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A manufacturer believes that the cost function : $C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  approximates the dollar cost of producing x units of a product. The manu- facturer believes it cannot make a profit when the marginal cost goes beyond $210. What is the most units the manufacturer can produce and still make a profit? What is the total cost at this level of production?

Solution :

Given the cost function is :

$C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  

Now, Marginal cost = $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)$

So, if the marginal cost = $ 210, then the manufacturer also makes a profit and if it goes beyond $ 210 than the manufacturer cannot make a profit.

Therefore, we have to equate : $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \$ 210$

$\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \frac{5}{2}(2x)+120 = 210$

$5x + 120 = 210$

$5x=210-120$

$5x=90$

$x=45$

So when x = 45, then C(x) = $ 8042.5

Therefore, the manufacturer $\text{can make up}$ to 45 units and $\text{still makes a profit.}$ This leads to a total cost of $ 8042.5

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The answer is "$5500".

Explanation:

Analysis Differential:  

                                             Make                            Buy

Cost of variable                        800\times 7 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \ \ = 5600  

Fixed- cost                             16000\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 16000

Purchasing cost                                                    800\times 12\ = 9600

Cost of opportunity            \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 9500  

Total relevant cost                    31100 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  25600

Increasing operating income = 31100-25600 = 5500
