Answer: Above 5%

Explanation:

Unemployment has dropped to record lows which means that more people are able to afford goods and services. This increase in demand will shift the demand curve to the right thereby increasing prices.

Crude oil also rose in price which means that the price of gasoline has risen as well as the price of transport which is a major component of inflation.

Given these factors, inflation is sure to rise above the 5% level of the previous year.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

(i)The units of production of Product A and B (x and y) are the decision variables

(ii)Objective is to maximize profit

(iii)Objective function, Max P=20x+50y

(iv)The Contraints are:

8x+2y\leq500....(i)

2x+5y\leq400.......(ii)

3y\leq180

x>0, y>0

Explanation:

Let the number of Product A=x

Let the number of Product B=y

Each unit of product A requires 8 units of R1 and 4 units of R2.

Each unit of product B requires 2 units of R1, 5 units of R2, and 3 units of R3

The availabilities of resources R1, R2, and R3 are 500, 400, and 180

Since R1 \leq500,

Product A requires 8 units of R1 per production unit

Product B requires 2 units of R1 per production unit

Total Unit of R1 possible is given by the inequality: 8x+2y\leq500....(i)

Since R2 \leq400,

Product A requires 2 units of R2 per production unit

Product B requires 5 units of R2 per production unit

Total Unit of R2 possible is given by the inequality: 2x+5y\leq400....(ii)

Since R3 \leq180,

Product B requires 3 units of R2 per production unit

Total Unit of R2 possible is given by the inequality: 3y\leq180....(iii)

Since the manufacturer also makes a profit of $20 and $50 for products A and B, our objective is to maximize profit

Therefore: Objective function, Max P=20x+50y ......(iv)
