Suppose one canoe rents for 40,and2 is taken off the price for each additional canoe rented by a ground. What size group gives the most income? Assume that there are 20 canoes available.
If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.

1- A walnut grower estimates from past records that if 20 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will average 60 pounds of nuts per year. If, for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds, then how many trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre? What is the maximum yield?
The Transit Authority (TA)in a metropolitan area operates a subway line that currently carries an average of 6000 passengers per day commuting between the suburbs and downtown. The fare now is $3.00 per ride and the board of the TA is considering raising its price by $0.50 to generate a larger revenue. A study reveals that for each $0.50 increase in fare, the ridership will be reduced by an average of 1000 passengers per day. Using this study, the board determines that, to get maximum profit, the price of the ticket should remain at $3.00. Is this correct? Explain why or why not.
The following graph shows the labor market for research assistants in the fictional country of Collegia. The equilibrium wage is $10 per hour, and the equilibrium number of research assistants is 200. Suppose the government has decided to institute a $2-per-hour payroll tax on research assistants and is trying to determine whether the tax should be levied on the employer, the workers, or both (such that half the tax is collected from each side). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded. You will not be…

Suppose the coal and steel industries form an open economy. Every $1 produced by the coal industry requires $0.15 of coal and $0.20 of steel. Every $1 produced by steel requires $0.25 of coal and $0.10of steel. Suppose that there is an annual outside demand for $45 million of coal and $124million of steel. (a) How much should each industry produce to satisfy the demands? (b) If the demand for coal decreases by $5 million per year while the demand for steel increases by $6 million per year, how should the coal and steel industries adjust their production?
The number of patrol officers needed on staff depends on the crime rate of the county, which is calculated based on the number of crimes per year. At a base rate of 3% crime rate, the county hires 200 officers per 10,000 people in the population. For every 0.1% increase in crime rate, an additional 5 officers are hired per 10,000 people in the population. For every 0.1% below 3% crime rate, 3 fewer officers are hired. A 3% sign-on bonus is offered for officers with no experience when there is a 5% to 10% shortage. A 5% sign-on bonus is offered for officers with no experience when there is an 11% or higher shortage. A 6% sign-on bonus is offered for officers with at least 3 years of experience when there is a 5% to 10% shortage. A 10% sign-on bonus is offered for officers with at least 3 years of experience when there is an 11% or higher shortage.

A rodentologist investigating various aspects of the aging process wanted to see whether staying “lean and mean” that is, being under normal body weight would lengthen life span. She randomly assigned newborn rats from a highly inbred line to one of three diets: (1) unlimited access to food, (2) 90% of the amount of food that a rat of that size would normally eat, (3) 80% of the amount of food that a rat of that size would normally eat. She maintained the rats on the three diets throughout their lives and recorded their life spans (in years). Complete a Turkey's post HOC test to determine which one is significantly different
