The following equations describe the supply and demand for crude oil in the United States in the mid-1980s: (Quantity supplied =

"S") (Quantity demanded = "D") S = -2 + (1/2)P S = 15 - (1/4)P Where price (P) is given in dollars and quantity in millions of barrels per day. The domestic equilibrium price is $22.67 per barrel with 9.3 million barrels traded per day. If the world price is below this equilibrium price, a domestic shortage will develop. We can deal with this shortage by purchasing crude oil from foreign suppliers. Determine the quantity of imports when the world price is $11.00 per barrel.

Answer: The equilibrium price is $68, Quantity 32 million barrel, The quantity to import is 53 million barrel

Explanation:

Given that D = -2 + (1/2)P, S = 15 - (1/4)P

At equilibrium Qd = Qs

-2 + (1/2)P = 15 - (1/4)P

Change 1/2 P and 1/4 P to decimal we have 0.5, and 0.25 respectively

Collect like terms

-2 -15 = 0.25P - 0.5P

17 = 0.25P

Divide both sides by P

17/0.25 = 0.25P /0.25

68 = P

P = 68

Substitute the value of P into equation 1 and 2 determine the value of Q

-2 + 0.5 (68)

-2 + 34

= 32

15 - 0.25 (68)

15 + 17

= 32

To determine the quantity to import when world price is $11.00 per barrel ,substitute the value into equation 1

-2 + 0.5 (11)

-2 + 55

= 53

Therefore quantity to import is 53 millions barrel

What is the value today of $4,400 per year, at a discount rate of 8.3 percent, if the first payment is received 6 years from tod
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Present Value = $290.20

Explanation:

The present value of a future payment can be calculated with the following formula:

PV = FV / (1 + i)N

Where i is the annual interest rate or discount rate, and t is the number of years until the payment will be received.

PV = Present Value = ?

FV = Payment = $4,400

i = 8.3% = 0.083

N = 20 - 6 = 14

PV = $4400 / (1 + 0.083)(20 - 6)

PV = $4400 / (1.083 * 14)

PV = $4400 / 15.162

PV = $290.1992

Present Value = $290.20 (Approximated)

Answer the following question based on the article "The Mystery of Original Sin: We Don't Know Why God Permitted the Fall, but W
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

D) He wants us to learn that having Him at the center of our lives will always be the best for us no matter how big or small the decisions we must face.

Explanation:

The article exposes that dehumanization is part of the world we're living in today. Marguerite Shuster argues that the world we're living in today is Genesis 3 world.

What's wrong with this world? "As the story goes, Chesterton responded with just two words: "I am." His answer is unlikely to be popular with a generation schooled to cultivate self-esteem, to pursue its passions and chase self-fulfillment first and foremost."

Then Shuster's invitation is to recenter our lives at Him.

Brand managers know that increasing promotional budgets eventually result in diminishing returns. The first one million dollars
Ludmilka [50]
Awareness level is currently 77%, or .77. 

Awareness decreases by 33% per year, so without any additional promotion spending, awareness next year would be .77 * .66 (2/3 of 77%)

The 1 million dollar spending will increase awares by 26%, so the effect on awareness will be 0.77 * 1.26

To calculate awareness next year:
77% times (1.26 - .33)
= .77 * 0.93
= .716, or 71.6%
