What is the rate of return when 20 shares of Stock A, purchased for $30/share, are sold for $710? The commission on the sale is $6. Give your answer as a percent rounded to the nearest tenth.​

Answer:

Rate of Return is 14.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 20 shares of Stock are purchased for $30 per share.

This gives us a total value of: 20 × 30 = $600.

Now, the shares are sold for $710 with a commission sale of $6. This means the final money going to the seller is; 710 – 6 = $704.

Thus, the rate of return percentage is = (704 – 600)/704) × 100% = 14.7727%

To the nearest tenth gives us 14.8%

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height (in meters) above the
denis-greek [22]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Air pressure may be represented as a function of height (in meters) above the surface of the Earth, as shown below:</h3><h3>  P(h) =P_0e^{-0.00012h} </h3><h3> In this function P_o   is the air pressure at the surface of the earth, and h is the height above the surface of the Earth, measured in meters. At what height will the air pressure equal 50% of the air pressure at the surface of the Earth"</h3><h3></h3>

Given the following function:

P(h) =P_0e^{-0.00012h}

In order to calculate at what  height the air pressure will be equal 50% of the air pressure at the surface of the Earth, you can follow these steps:

1. You need to substitute P(h)=0.5P_o into the function:

0.5P_o=P_0e^{-0.00012h}

2. Finally, you must solve for h.

Remember the following property of logarithms:

ln(b)^a=a*ln(b)\\\\ln(e)=1

Then, you get this result:

0.5P_o=\frac{P_o}{e^{0.00012h}}\\\\(0.5P_o)(e^{0.00012h})=P_o\\\\e^{0.00012h}=\frac{P_o}{0.5P_o}\\\\ln(e)^{0.00012h}=ln(2)\\\\0.00012h*1=ln(2)\\\\h=\frac{ln(2)}{0.00012}\\\\h=5576.2
