Answer:

A) The amount of gas they bought on each coast;

East Coast = 35 gallons

Mid-US = 100 gallons

West Coast = 15 gallons

B) The amount of gas they bought on each coast on the return journey;

East Coast = 37 gallons

Mid-US = 116 gallons

West Coast = 21 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Maxis taking a cross-country road trip. Gas prices vary as the friends travel across the US from $4 dollars per gallon on the east coast to $3 in the mid-US, to $5 on the west coast.

(a) If they used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined, and they spend $515 on gas to purchased 150 gallons of gas, how many gallons of gas did they buy at each price?

The answer to this question is East Coast - 35 gal, Mid-US - 100 gal, West Coast - 15 gal.

(b) On their way back they had more baggage in the car and spend $601 for 174 gallons of gas. Based on the same ratio as in Part (a), how many gallons of gas did they buy at each price? I don't know the answer to this one

Solution

Let the amount of fuel bought on the east coast = x gallons

Let the amount of fuel bought on the mid-coast = y gallons

Let the amount of fuel bought on the west coast = z gallons

a) - They used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined

y = 2(x + z) = 2x + 2z (eqn 1)

- They spend $515 on gas to purchase 150 gallons of gas.

Total gallons purchased = x + y + z = 150

Total amount spent = 4x + 3y + 5z = 515

From eqn 1, y = 2x + 2z, inserting this value for y in the 2 other equations

x + y + z = x + 2x + 2z + z = 150

3x + 3z = 150

Divide through by 3

x + z = 50 (eqn *)

4x + 3y + 5z = 4x + 3(2x + 2z) + 5z = 515

4x + 6x + 6z + 5z = 515

10x + 11z = 515 (eqn **)

x + z = 50

10x + 11z = 515

Solving the simultaneous equation,

x = 35 gallons

z = 15 gallons

y = 2x + 2z = 2(35 + 15) = 100 gallons

B) On the return journey, the ratio between x, y and z is still the same, but the total gallons and total amount spent is now different.

They used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined

y = 2(x + z) = 2x + 2z (eqn 1)

- They spend $601 on gas to purchase 174 gallons of gas.

Total gallons purchased = x + y + z = 174

Total amount spent = 4x + 3y + 5z = 601

From eqn 1, y = 2x + 2z, inserting this value for y in the 2 other equations

x + y + z = x + 2x + 2z + z = 174

3x + 3z = 174

Divide through by 3

x + z = 58 (eqn *)

4x + 3y + 5z = 4x + 3(2x + 2z) + 5z = 601

4x + 6x + 6z + 5z = 601

10x + 11z = 601 (eqn **)

x + z = 58

10x + 11z = 601

Solving the simultaneous equation,

x = 37 gallons

z = 21 gallons

y = 2x + 2z = 2(37 + 21) = 116 gallons

Hope this Helps!!!

klemol [59]

Answer:

Millennium Dairy Product

a) Share of the company that SBI Caps should require today to get a required rate of return of 50%.

= 50%

b) If the company had 1,000,000 (100,000 x10) shares outstanding before the private placement, SBI Caps should purchase

1,000,000 shares = 50% of (1,000,000 + 1,000,000) shares

Assuming the founding promoters are not giving up their shares, instead, new equity shares are being issued.

c) The price per share SBI Caps should agree to pay, if her required return was 50% is

Rs.50 per share, which will provide the required additional equity financing of (Rs.50 million) since Rs.50 x 1,000,000 equals Rs.50 million.

d) Pre money and post money valuations:

These are based on the calculated Market Price of Rs.1,000 per share from the Price/Earnings Ratio.

Pre money valuation will be Rs.1,000 x 1,000,000 shares = Rs.1 billion

Post money valuation will be Rs.1,000 x 2,000,000 shares = Rs.2 billion

e) Carried interests of the VC and the promoters

VC's carried interest = share of profits = 50% xRs.50 million = Rs.25 million

Promoters' carried interest = Rs.25 million

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Calculation of share in the company:

SBI Cap's required rate of return is 50%

If she invests Rs.50 million today, her expected return will be equal to Rs.50 million x 50% = Rs.25 million

Since rate of return = Net Income/Initial Investment or (Current value of investment - Initial Investment)/Initial Investment.

This return will be equal to 50% of the total net income of Rs.50 million

b) Price/Earnings P/E ratio = Market price per share/Earnings per share (EPS)

Since P/E ratio of similar companies = 20 times,

The company's P/E = 20 times x EPS

With calculated EPS = Rs.50 million /1,000,000 = Rs.50

Therefore, price per share = 20 x Rs.50 = Rs.1,000

Pre money valuation = Rs.1,000 x 1 million shares = Rs.1 billion

Post money valuation = Rs.1,000 x 2 million shares = Rs.2 billion

c) The carried interest is the share of profits to which the promoters and the Venture Capitalists are entitled.  Their respective shares are 50% of the net income = Rs.25 million each.

d) The pre money and post money valuations:  The pre money valuation is the valuation of the company before the additional equity financing.  The post money valuation is the valuation of the company after the additional equity financing.  There are many ways to value a company.  In this case, we have used the P/E ratio as a basis for the valuation.  However, we did not dilute the earnings per share post money, for simplicity.

Milton spilled some ink on his homework paper. He can't read the coefficient of $x$, but he knows that the equation has two dist
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Sum = -81

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

c = 36 ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

x^2 + ax + 36 = 0

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

x = -\alpha and x = -\beta

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0

Open brackets

x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0

To compare the above equation to x^2 + ax + 36 = 0, we have:

a = \alpha + \beta

\alpha \beta = 36

Where: \alpha, \beta and \alpha \ne \beta

The values of \alpha and \beta that satisfy \alpha \beta = 36 are:

\alpha = -1 and \beta = -36

\alpha = -2 and \beta = -18

\alpha = -3 and \beta = -12

\alpha = -4 and \beta = -9

So, the possible values of a are:

a = \alpha + \beta

When \alpha = -1 and \beta = -36

a = -1 - 36 = -37

When \alpha = -2 and \beta = -18

a = -2 - 18 = -20

When \alpha = -3 and \beta = -12

a = -3 - 12 = -15

When \alpha = -4 and \beta = -9

a = -4 - 9 = -13

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9

Sum = -81

The density of granite is about 2.75 grams per cubic centimeter. Suppose you have a granite countertop for a kitchen that is 1 m
stellarik [79]

Answer:

330\ kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1 kg=1,000 g

1 m= 100 cm

The volume of the granite countertop in cubic centimeters is equal to

V=(100)(300)(4)\ cm^{3}

The density in kg per cubic centimeter is equal to

D=2.75(\frac{1}{1,000}) \frac{kg}{cm^{3}}

Multiply the density by the volume

2.75(\frac{1}{1,000})(100)(300)(4)

2.75(120)=330\ kg
