Answer:
- $17,500 at 8%
- $17,500 at 14%
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction that needs to be invested at the higher rate is ...
(11% - 8%)/(14% -8%) = 3%/6% = 1/2
Half the money should be invested at each of the rates:
$17,500 for 8% return
$17,500 for 14% return.
_____
If you let x represent the amount at the higher rate, then the total return is ...
14%x + 8%(35000 -x) = 11%(35000)
(14% -8%)x = (11% -8%)(35000) . . . . subtract 8%·35000
x = (11% -8%)/(14% -8%)×35000 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Note that this formula is exactly the one we started with, above.
A) (1, 1)
A scale factor of 1/3 means you shrink it.
The answer is B.
(the equation to solve this with is: a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
The minimal completion time for the activities is the shortest possible time for all the activities to be finished. In doing this, we look at the path that would require the greatest amount of time. At the START node, we choose the path that would take the longest which is 7 days leading to ACTIVITY D. Next, we choose the path leading to ACTIVITY B which takes 5 days. Then, we move to ACTIVITY C taking 5 days and finally, reach the END which would take 6 days. So, the minimal completion time is:
7 + 5 + 5 + 6 = 23 days
