The American Baker’s Association reports that annual sales of bakery goods last year rose 15 percent, driven by a 50 percent inc

rease in the demand for bran muffins. Most of the increase was attributed to a report that diets rich in bran help prevent certain types of cancer. You are the manager of a bakery that produces and packages gourmet bran muffins, and you currently sell bran muffins in packages of three. However, as a result of this new report, a typical consumer’s inverse demand for your bran muffins is now P = 8 - 1.5Q. If your cost of producing bran muffins is C(Q) = 2.0Q, determine the optimal number of bran muffins to sell in a single package and the optimal package price.

Answer:

Optimal package size = 4 units

Optimal package price = $20

Explanation:

P = 8 - 1.5Q and C(Q) = 2.0Q, MC = 2

To obtain optimal package size, we put

Price is equal to the marginal cost, P = MC

8 - 1.5Q = 2

     1.5Q = 6

          Q = 6 ÷ 1.5

              = 4

Therefore,

Optimal package size = 4 units

Hence,

Optimal package price:

= 0.5[8 - 2] × 4 + 2 × 4

= 12 + 8

= $20

Over the past year, you earned a nominal rate of interest of 10% on your money. The inflation rate was 5% over the same period.
zimovet [89]

Answer:

exact actual growth rate of your purchasing power was 4.8%

Explanation:

given data

nominal rate of interest = 10%

inflation rate =  5%

solution

we get here exact actual growth rate that is express as

exact actual growth rate = \frac{1+rate\ of\ interest}{1+inflation\ rate} - 1      ..........................1

put here value and we will get

exact actual growth rate = \frac{1+0.10}{1+0.05} - 1

exact actual growth rate = 4.8 %

so here exact actual growth rate of your purchasing power was 4.8%

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: C. The beta coefficient of a stock is normally found by regressing past returns on a stock against past market returns. One could also construct a scatter diagram of returns on the stock versus those on the market, estimate the slope of the line of best fit, and use it as beta. However, this historical beta may differ from the beta that exists in the future.

Explanation:

The beta coefficient is used by an economic entity to measure how volatile an individual stock is when such stock is being compared to the market's systematic risk.

Of the options given in the question, the correct answer is option C which states that "C.

While working in the yard, Tina found a beat-up ring. Becca, an eighteen-year old neighbor, came over to visit and liked the rin
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": A gift inter vivos.

Explanation:

A gift inter-vivos refers to the transfer of a property from one party to another while the donor is alive. This transfer must be celebrated through a written agreement providing the beneficiary absolute ownership of the property. In such a case, the donor cannot request the property back and gives up any right over it.

The beneficiary must accept the gift for the transfer to be complete and if the property has value, the beneficiary will accept it as well.

<em>The issue between Tina and Becca relies on not having signed any document for the transfer of the diamond ring but they are involved in an inter-vivos gift.</em>
