A farmer plans to plant two crops, A and B. The cost of cultivating Crop A is $40/acre whereas the cost of cultivating Crop B is

$60/acre. The farmer has a maximum of $7400 available for land cultivation. Each acre of Crop A requires 20 labor-hours, and each acre of Crop B requires 25 labor-hours. The farmer has a maximum of 3300 labor-hours available. If she expects to make a profit of $170/acre on Crop A and $210/acre on Crop B, how many acres of each crop, x and y, respectively, should she plant in order to maximize her profit?

Answer:

We will plant 165 of Crop A

Explanation:

We will compare the marginal contribution for each crop:  A   B

Profit:                170.00     210

cost of cultivating:  40.00       60

CM per constrain      4.25            3.50

Crop A is better regarding cultivating cost.

Now we analize the labor hours:

Profit:                      170     210

Labor hours per crop 20       25

CM per constrain      8.50       8.40

Because Crop A is better at both constrain resource It will be better to plant only Crop A if possible. As assigning to Crop B will diminish the return on the scarce resourse.

We will see how much can we plant of Crop A

7400 / 40 = 185

3300 / 20 = 165

We will plant 165 of Crop A

which is the maximun we can plant at the given labor hours.

taneeka borrowed 12,000 for a car for 6 years at an APR of 7.25% her monthly payment will be $206.03 true or false
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The actual monthly payment is $206.08, which is slightly higher than the value given in the question, therefore, the given statement is not true.

Step by Step Explanation:

We have been given the loan amount as $12,000, term of loan as 6 years and annual interest rate as 7.25%.

Let us first find the monthly payment for this data, and then we can compare it with the given data to answer the given question.

We know that EMI formula is given as C=\frac{P\cdot r\cdot (1+r)^{n}}{(1+r)^{n}-1}

Upon substituting the given values.

C=\frac{12000\cdot \frac{0.0725}{12}\cdot (1+\frac{0.0725}{12})^{72}}{(1+\frac{0.0725}{12})^{72}-1}\\C=\frac{12000\cdot 0.0060416666\cdot (1+0.0060416666)^{72}}{(1+0.0060416666)^{72}-1}\\C=\frac{12000\cdot 0.0060416666\cdot (1.0060416666)^{72}}{(1.0060416666)^{72}-1}\\C=206.076\\

Therefore, the monthly payment is $206.08.
