Answer:

Chavez should borrow from the British market.

Explanation:

We need to compare the interest payment of both markets to make the decision

First, calculate the Interest payment in case, if borrowed from the British market

Interest Payment ( British ) = Principal Value x Interest rate x Time fraction

Interest Payment ( British ) = $8,000,000 x 6.250% x 56/360

Interest Payment ( British ) = $77,777.78

First, calculate the Interest payment in case if borrowed from Swiss market

Interest Payment ( Swiss ) = Principal Value x Interest rate x Time fraction

Interest Payment ( Swiss ) = $8,000,000 x 6.250% x 60/360

Interest Payment ( Swiss ) = $83,333.33

As the British market offers a lower rate, Chavez should borrow from the British market.

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 $\leq$ 500....(i)

2x+5y $\leq$ 400.......(ii)

3y $\leq$ 180

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 $\leq$ 500,

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 $\leq$ 500....(i)

Since R2 $\leq$ 400,

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 $\leq$ 400....(ii)

Since R3 $\leq$ 180,

Product B requires 3 units of R2 per production unit

Total Unit of R2 possible is given by the inequality: 3y $\leq$ 180....(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)

The correct answer is C. By attending college, Connor actually stands better prospects to earn a significant salary throughout his lifetime. Employees having gone through post-secondary education generally earn more income than those who have not studied till college. The simple reason is, by attending college, you acquire sharper knowledge and insights of disciplines you wouldn't otherwise have access to. You get skills that are in line with a demanding and fast-paced environment. People often regret not attending college because they could have grabbed a certificate that could have been a stepping stone for professional opportunities and higher incomes.

inysia [295]

Answer:

Inflation refers to the general rise in price levels of goods and services in an economy.

$Inflation = \frac{CPI in current year - CPI in previous year}{CPI in current year} *100$

2014 Inflation;

$Inflation = \frac{104.7 - 100}{100} *100\\= 0.047$

= 4.7%

2015

$Inflation = \frac{109.3 - 104.7}{104.7} *100\\\\= 0.0439$

= 4.39%

2016

$Inflation = \frac{113.1 - 109.3}{109.3} *100\\\\= 0.0348$

= 3.48%

2017

$Inflation = \frac{119.2 - 113.1}{113.1} *100\\\\= 0.0539$

= 5.39%
