A candy manufacturer makes two types of special candy, say A and B. Candy A consists of equal parts of dark chocolate and carame

l and Candy B consists of two parts of dark chocolate and one part of walnut. The company has in stock 430 kilograms of caramel, 360 kilograms of dark chocolate, and 210 kilograms of walnuts. The company sells Candy A for P285 and Candy B for P260 per kilograms. How much of each candy should the manufacturer produce to maximize profit?

If we let x as candy A
y as candy B
a as dark chocolate in candy a
b as dark chocolate in candy b
c as caramel
d as walnut
P as profit
we have the equations:
a + c = x
2b + d = y
a + 2b ≤ 360
c ≤ 430
d ≤ 210
P = 285x + 260y

This is an optimization problem which involves linear programming. It can be solved by graphical method or by algebraic solution.
P = 285(a + c) + 260(2b +d)
If we assume a = b
Then a = 120, 2b = 240
P = 285(120 + 120) + 260(240 + 120)
P = 162000
candy A should be = 240
candy B should be = 360

The graph shows the distance in miles of a runner over x hours. What is the average rate of speed over the interval [9, 11]?
JulsSmile [24]
For this case what you should see is that for the interval [9, 11] the behavior of the function is almost linear.
 Therefore, we can find the average rate of change as follows:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 m = (11-6) / (11-9)
 m = (5) / (2)
 m = 5/2
 Answer:
 the average rate of speed over the interval [9, 11] is: 
 D. 5 / 2

Times for an ambulance to respond to a medical emergency in a certain town are normally distributed with a mean of 400 seconds a
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the normal distribution curve, the mean is in the middle and each line to the left and to the right of that mean represent 1- and 1+ the standard deviation.  If our mean is 400, then 400 + 50 = 450; 450 + 50 = 500; 500 + 50 = 550.  Going from the mean to the left, we subtract the standard deviation and 400 - 50 = 350; 350 - 50 = 300; 300 - 50 = 250.  We are interested in the range that falls between 350 and 450 as a percentage.  That range represents the two middle sections, each containing 34% of the data.  So the total percentage of response times is 68%.  We are looking then for 68% of the 144 emergency response times in town.  .68(144) = 97.92 or 98 emergencies that have response times of between 350 and 450 seconds.

Diddy Corp. Stock has a beta of 1.2, the current risk-free rate is 6 percent, and the expected return on the market is 14.50 per
ryzh [129]

Answer: 16.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected return on market - Risk free rate)

= 6% + 1.2 * (14.50 - 6%)

= 6% + 10.2%

= 16.2%
