Answer:

inflation rate = 4.66%

Explanation:

we can determine the inflation rate using the future value formula:

future value = present value x (1 + i)ⁿ

  • future value = $68.69
  • present value = $10.61
  • n = 41 years
  • i = inflation rate ?

$68.69 = $10.61 x (1 + i)⁴¹

(1 + i)⁴¹ = $68.69 / $10.61 = 6.474081056

⁴¹√(1 + i)⁴¹ =  ⁴¹√6.474081056

1 + i = 1.0466

i = 1.0466 - 1 = 0.0466 = 4.66%

The answer for Blank 2: D. number of citizens.

GDP per capita describes the average economic output that a single citizens had produce in a certain year.

In order to calculate this, we need to find out the total value of the money supply by adding total Consumption, investments, Government spending, and net export.

Laura is a gourmet chef who runs a small catering business in a competitive industry. Laura specializes in making wedding cakes.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

The monthly total revenue is $5,000.

The marginal cost of producing 19th, 20th and 21st unit is $200.

Laura will earn profit if the price is able to cover marginal cost.

Total revenue is the product of price and quantity.

Price of cake when Laura produces 19 units

= \frac{TR}{Q}

= \frac{5,000}{19}

= $263.15

Price of cake when Laura produces 20 units

= \frac{TR}{Q}

= \frac{5,000}{20}

= $250

Price of cake when Laura produces 21 units

= \frac{TR}{Q}

= \frac{5,000}{19}

= $238.09

So we see that the price is able to cover marginal cost till 21st units, so Laura should produce more than 20 units and go on producing till price becomes equal to marginal cost.

rjkz [21]

Answer: $7200

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insurance. If $4,700 worth of jewelry and $6,000 worth of silverware were stolen from a family.

The amount of claim that would not be covered by the insurance will be:

= ($4,700 - 1,000) + ($6,000 - 2,500)

= $3,700 + $3,500

= $7,200
