Answer:

$6.00

Explanation:

Given data

quantity demanded ( x )  ∝ 1 / p^3       for p > 1

when p = $10/unit , x = 64

initial cost = $140, cost per unit = $4

<u>Determine the price that will yield a maximum profit </u>

x = k/p^3 ----- ( 1 ).  when x = 64 , p = $10 , k = constant

64 = k/10^3

k = 64 * ( 10^3 )

  = 64000

back to equation 1

x = 64000 / p^3

∴ p = 40 / ∛x

next calculate the value of revenue generated

Revenue(Rx) = P(price ) * x ( quantity )

               = 40 / ∛x * x   =  40 x^2/3

next calculate Total cost of product

C(x) = 140 + 4x

Maximum Profit  generated = R(x) - C(x) = 0

                                              = 40x^2/3 - 140 + 4x  = 0

                                              =  40(2/3) x^(2/3 -1) - 0 - 4 = 0

                                            ∴ ∛x = 20/3    ∴     x = (20/3 ) ^3 = 296

profit is maximum at x(quantity demanded ) = 296 units

hence the price that will yield a maximum profit

P = 40 / ∛x

  = ( 40 / (20/3) )  = $6

Mark Johnson saves a fixed percentage of his salary at the end of each year. This year he saved $2,500. For each of the next 5 y
yarga [219]

Answer:

Mark will have at the end of six years the amount of $25,865.74

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

First investment = 2500

Investment increasing at rate of 10%

Interest rate = 13%

t=6 years

Present value is given by formula = C * [((1+g)^n/(1+i)^n) - 1 ] / (g-i)

C is first value = 2,500

g is increase in investment = 0.10

i is intrest rate = 0.13

n is no of years = 6

Putting values into the equation

P = 2500* [((1+ 0.10)^6/(1+0.13)^6) - 1 ] / (0.10-0.13)  1.771561    2.08195

P = 2500* [((1.10)^6/(1.13)^6) - 1 ] / (-0.03)

P = 2500* [0.8509142870866 - 1 ] / (-0.03)

P = 2500* (-0.14908571)/ (-0.03)

P = 2500* 4.9695236

P=$12,423.809

Future value = P*(1+i)^t

= $12,423.809 *(1+0.13)^6

= $25,865.74

Mark will have at the end of six years the amount of $25,865.74

But the question is how much will she save? To get the answer just follow this:  3165.00 - 3086.95 = $78.05 

Therefore, Chloe saves $78.05
