A company manufacturers a product in the United States and sells it in England. The unit cost of manufacturing is 50. The current exchange rate (dollars per pound) is 1.221. The demand function, which indicates how many units the company can sell in England as a function of price (in pounds) is of the power type, with constant 27556759 and exponent 2.4. a. Develop a model for the companys profit (in dollars) as a function of the price it charges (in pounds). Then use a data table to find the profit-maximizing price to the nearest pound. b. If the exchange rate varies from its current value, does the profit-maximizing price increase or decrease? Does the maximum profit increase or decrease?
A large food chain owns a number of pharmacies that operate in a variety of settings. Some are situated in small towns and are open for only 8 hours a day, 5 days per week. Others are located in shopping malls and are open for longer hours. The analysts on the corporate staff would like to develop a model to show how a store’s revenues depend on the number of hours that it is open. They have collected the following information from a sample of stores. Hours of Operation Average Revenue ($) 40 5958 44 6662 48 6004 48 6011 60 7250 70 8632 72 6964 90 11097 100 9107 168 11498 Use a linear function (e.g., y = ax + b; where a and b are parameters to optimize) to represent the relationship between revenue and operating hours and find the values of the parameters using the nonlinear solver that provide the best fit to the given data. What revenue does your model predict for 120 hours? Suggest a two-parameter…
The relationship between temperature measured on the Celsius scale and on the Fahrenheit scale is linear. The freezing point of water is 0°C and 32°F, and the boiling point is 100°C and 212°F.

A company is trying to determine the proper capacity level for its new electric car. A unit of capacity provides the potential to produce one car per year. It costs $15,000 to build a unit of capacity and the cost is charged equally over the next five years. It also costs $500 per year to maintain a unit of capacity (whether or not it is used). Each car sells for $20,000 and incurs a variable production cost of $15,000. The annual demand for the electric car during each of the next five years is believed to be normally distributed with mean 65,000 and standard deviation 12,000. The demands during different years are assumed to be independent. Profits are discounted at a 7.5% annual interest rate. The company is working with five-year planning horizon. Capacity levels of 30,000, 40,000, 50,000, 60,000, and 70,000 are under consideration. You can assume that the company never produces more than demand, so there is never any inventory to carry over from year to year. a. Assuming that the…
Long-Life Insurance developed a linear model to determine the amount of term life insurance a family of four should have, based on the head of the household's current age. The equation is: y = 163 -0.45xwherey = Insurance needed ($000)x = Current age of head of household Calculate the amount of term life insurance you would recommend for a family of four if the head of the household is 53 years old.

Write a program that asks the user for an angle, entered in degrees. The program should then display the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle. (Use the sin, cos, and tan library functions to determine these values.) You must convert the angle into radians (angle * 3.14/180)
Assume “Jane” saves $10,000 per year for 10 years starting at age 25. At age 35 she no longer is able to save but leaves her accumulated savings invested until age 65 when she retires. Assume “John” does not begin saving until age 35, but then saves $10,000 per year until age 65 when he also retires. Assume John and Jane invest their entire wealth in the same mutual fund. Who accumulates a larger retirement nest egg? 1. Answer this question by building an Excel spreadsheet that allows you to show the difference in wealth at age 65 assuming an annual rate of return of 8%. Make sure your model allows you to change the assumed rate of return and automatically recalculate the difference in wealth at age 65. 2. At what assumed rate of return are John and Jane’s wealth at age 65 equal? Use “Goal Seek” in order to find this rate of return. 3. Create a graph to clearly show how final wealth for John and Jane depends on the rate of return. Start at 0% and increase the rate of return in…

It is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools, pottery, and household items when they visited higher elevations for their summer camps. It is hypothesized that archaeological sites tend to lose their cultural identity and specific cultural affiliation as the elevation of the site increases. Let x be the elevation (in thousands of feet) for an archaeological site in the southwestern United States. Let y be the percentage of unidentified artifacts (no specific cultural affiliation) at a given elevation. Suppose that the following data were obtained for a collection of archaeological sites in New Mexico: x 5.00 6.00 6.75 7.00 7.50 y 3 57 75 71 71 What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. a.81.9% b.0.9% c.90.5% d.3.3%
