There are two routes for driving from A to B. One is freeway, and the other consists of local roads. The benefit of using the fr

eeway is constant and equal to 3.6, irrespective of the number of people using it. Local roads get congested when too many people use this alternative, but if not enough peoople use it, the few isolated drivers run the risk of becoming victims of crimes. Suppose that when a fraction of x of the population is using the local roads, the benefit of this mode to each driver is given by:
1 + 8x – 9x²

Required:
a. Draw a graph showing the benefits of the two driving routes as functions of x, regarding x as a continuous variable between 0 and 1.
b. Identify all possible equilibrium traffic patterns from your graph in part (a). Which equilibria are stable? Which ones are unstable? Explain.
c. What value of x maximizes the total benefit to the whole population?

Answer:

a) attached below

b) stable equilibria = x = 0.1 , x = 0.8

   unstable equilibria = other value except 0.1 , 0.8

c) 0.5 , 0.6

Explanation:

Benefit of using the local roads = 1 + 8x - 9x^2

Benefit of using the free way = 3.6

a) Attached below is the required graph

<u>b) Determine The possible equilibrium traffic patterns from the graph </u>

stable equilibria : x = 0.1 ,  x = 0.8 ( this id because at these given value the benefits of using either routes is equal )

unstable equilibria :  every other value of X except 0.1 and 0.8

<u>c) Determine the value of x that maximizes the total benefit to the population</u>

The value of X that maximizes the total benefit to the population = 0.5 and 0.6

attached below is the detailed solution

Answer:B. $1,500

Explanation:

Interest revenue is  money earned when an entity or individual  loans   money to another.  it can also be regarded as money accrued  from investments. IT is calculated as  

Interest Revenue = Principal x Rate x Time

= $100,000 x 6%  x 90/360

= $100,000 x 0.06 x 0.25

= $1,500

Therefore the interest charge by the bank is $1500.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The journal entry to record depletion is  :

Debit : Depletion Expense $74,235

Credit : Accumulated Depletion $74,235

Explanation:

<em>Depletion Expense = Depletion rate × units extracted during the year</em>

where,

<em>Depletion rate = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated total units</em>

Therefore,

Depletion rate = ($404,000 + $101,000 + $80,800 - $161,600) ÷ 4,040 tons

                        = $ 105 per ton

Therefore,

Depletion Expense = $ 105 per ton × 707 tons

                                = $74,235

<u>Journal Entry :</u>

Debit : Depletion Expense $74,235

Credit : Accumulated Depletion $74,235

The common stock of Eddie's Engines, Inc., sells for $37.73 a share. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $3.70 per share
Furkat [3]

Answer:

r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

  • D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period
  • g is the growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return   or market rate of return

Plugging in the values for P0, D1, and g, we can calculate the value of r or market rate of return on the stock to be,

37.73 = 3.70  /  (r - 0.058)

37.73 * (r - 0.058) = 3.7

37.73r - 2.18834 = 3.7

37.73r = 3.7 + 2.18834

r = 5.88834 / 37.73

r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%
