Answer:
The answer is: Both parties could win, depending if there were other conditions established for the auction.
Explanation:
Usually when an auction is carried out there are conditions established beforehand by the auctioneer that must be fulfilled in order for the sale to be completed.
In this case, since we don´t know what other conditions the town of Sanford included in the auction, if any other condition at all, we can´t conclude which party could win the lawsuit. For instance if a reserve was required but Arthur and Arlene didn´t do the reserve deposit, then they will obviously lose. The same happens with other established conditions like a minimum price set, etc. But if no other condition established, then Arthur and Arlene could win.
After n years, the deposit made at birth will have a value equal to;
FV1 = C(1+r)^n = 1000(1+0.018)^n = 1000(1.018)^n
After n years, the yearly deposits made at every birthday will have a value equal to;
FV2 = P{(1+r)^n-1}/r = 750{(1+0.018)^n-1}/0.018 = 41666.67 {(1.018)^n-1} = 41666.67 (1.018)^n -41666.67
Total FV = FV1+FV2 = 1000(1.018)^n+41666.67(1.018)^n-41666.67 = 42666.67 (1.018)^n - 41666.67
Answer:
<em><u>P (x) = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>
Explanation:
The Profit function is the revenue minus the cost.
Revenue = Price x Quantity = X.px = x(88-2x) = 88x - 2x^2
Therefore the profit function P (x):
P (x) = 88x - 2x^2 - (8x+3)
<em><u>P (x) = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
To maximise profit we use the 1st order condition: dP(x)/dq = 0
Therefore, 80 - 4x = 0
4x = 80
x = 20
So 20 leashes maximises profit.
P(x) = 80(20) - 2(20)^2 - 3
<em><u> P = $803 </u></em>
<em><u /></em>
The price to charge would be:
<u><em>p (x) = 88 - 2(20) = $48</em></u>
<u><em>The best reason would be that the price is a bit expensive for a leash so most people would not buy it.</em></u>

Answer:
New Portfolio beta = 1.125
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the beta of a portfolio is as follows,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + .... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
- w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio
New Portfolio beta = 50000/200000 * 0.8 + 50000/200000 * 1 +
50000/200000 * 1.2 + 50000/200000 * 1.5
New Portfolio beta = 1.125
