Answer:

How much do you make in interest in a year?

<u>$  1100</u>

How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep up with inflation in that year?

<u>$  1782 </u>

How much buying power did you lose in that year because of inflation?

<u>$  682 </u>

Explanation:

Your interest formula is given to you.

Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring)

Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100

How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation?  Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise prices are going up faster than you're saving.

Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782

How much buying power did you lose?  The difference between your required interest and your actual interest.

Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682.  You lost this much in buying power.

Hope that helped :)

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

C. Place advertisements on social media

Explanation:

The promotional strategy that would be best suited for a new cell phone with advanced features is advertisment on social media because it is meant for targeted audience.

Although radio advertisement covers a wider range of audience, social media advertisement will be the best for the above scenario because it covers targeted audience and also perspective buyers would like to see sample of those features which will not be possible in radio advertisement.

There are various social media platforms like Instagrams, linkedln etc where these products can be advertised and the advanced features seen by targeted audience before placing an order.

Elis [28]

Answer:

The company was rated five stars more by men

Explanation:

Expressing the survey results as percentages

1.  <u>Overall population </u>

         =67 out of 350

         =67/350x100= 19.14 percent

2. <u>Men population</u>

=40 out 175

=40/175x100 =22.85 per cent

The company was rated five stars more by men

Justin discounts a 115-day note for $26,000 at 8.5%. the effective rate of interest to the nearest tenth percent is:
lesya692 [45]
8.7%

$26,000 x .085 x 115/360 = $705.97
$26,000 - $705.97 = $25,294.03
$25,294.03 x 115/360 = $8080.04
$705.97/$8080.04 = 8.7%

Show that if the contribution to profit for trains is between $1.50 and $3, the current basis remains optimal. If the contributi
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

210

Explanation:

Let us consider that x is the number of soldiers produced each week and y is number of trains produced each week.

Also, weekly revenues and costs can be expressed in terms of the decision variables x and y.

Then,

Hence the profit which we want to maximize is given by,

Now the constraints are given as,

Finishing Constraint:

Each week, no more than 100 hours of finishing time may be used.

Carpentry Constraint:

Each week, no more than 80 hours of carpentry time may be used.

Demand Constraint:

Because of limited demand, at most 40 soldiers should be produced each week.

Combining the sign restrictions and with the objective function  and constraints,and yield the following optimization model:

Such that,

First convert the given inequalities into equalities:

From equation (1):

If x=0 in equation (1) then (0,100)

If y=0 in equation (1) then (50,0)

From equation (2):

If x=0 in equation (2) then (0,80)

If y=0 in equation (2) then (80,0)

From equation (3):

Equation (3) is the line passing through the point x=40.

Therefore, the given LPP has a feasible solution first image

The optimum solution for the given LPP is obtained as follows in the second image

The optimal solution to this problem is,

And the optimum values are  .

Let c be the contribution to profit by each train. We need to find the values of c for which the current, basis remain optimal. Currently c is 2, and each iso-profit line has the form

3x +  2y = constant

y = 3x/2 +constant/ 2

And so, each iso-profit line has a slope of  .

From the graph we can see that if a change in c causes the isoprofit lines to be flatter than the carpentry constraint, then the optimal solution will change from the current optimal solution to a new optimal solution, If the profit for each train is c, the slope of each isoprofit line will be.

-3/c

Because the slope of the carpentry constraint is –1, the isoprofit lines will be flatter than the carpentry constraint.

If,

-3/c<-1

c >3

and the current basis will no longer be optimal. The new optimal solution will be point A of the graph.

If the is oprofit lines are steeper than the finishing constraint, then the optimal solution will change from point B to point C. The slope of the finishing constraint is –2.

If,

-3/c < -2 or

C < 1.5

Then the current basis is no longer optimal and point C,(40,20), will be optimal. Hence when the contribution to the profit for trains is between $1.50 and $3, the current basis remains optimal.

Again, consider the contribution to the profit for trains is $2.50, then the decision variables remain the same since the contribution to the profit for trains is between $1.50 and $3. And the optimal solution is given by,

z = 3× (20) + 2.5 × (60)

= 60 + 150

= 210
