Question 13

I the price of beer (PB) = $10 and the price of Apples (PA) = $10 and your income (INC) = $100

and B= the number of beers that you buy and A=the number of Apples that you buy

If I put B on the vertical axis what is the equation for this budget without the values of the parameters entered?

Group of answer choices

A = -(PB/PA)(A) + INC/PA

B = -(PB/PA)(A) + INC/PB

A = -(PA/PB)(A) + INC/PA

B = -(PA/PB)(A) + INC/PB

Gallatin Carpet Cleaning-the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square feet of carpet cleaned. The current fee is $23.50 per hundred square feet.

The total cost of operating the company for the year is $370,000

Manar Professional Skincare Company offered 50% more for the same price for their product 'Bright and Glow's. The company also decided to provide 5% offer on every purchase of the product during summer. Manar Professional Skincare Company offered more quantity than before for the same price.

Latafa Organic Company attracted its customers by providing herbal care. Herbal care was deemed to be healthier by giving good results to skincare and fairness. This increased the trust and loyalty of the customers. The company always focused on the need and want of the customers by conducting regular surveys .The Company introduced new herbal facial creams in three different flavours, like Papaya, Mint and Neem. For each 50 gram of Papaya herbal facial cream the company fixed the price as OMR .999 baiza.

Rayan Beauty Company attracted customers by launching a whole new soap product category that results in healthier and fairer skin.

Use Matlab to write the following

1. Write code to determine whether a year is a leap year. Use the mod function. The rules for determining leap years in the Gregorian calendar are as follows:

All years evenly divisible by 400 are leap years.

Years evenly divisible by 100, but not by 400, are not leap years.

Years divisible by 4, but not by 100, are leap years.

All other years are not leap years.

For example, the years 1800, 1900, 2100, 2300 and 2500 are not leap years, but 2400 is a leap year.

2. Solve the following:

a. Use a for loop to determine the sum of the first 10 terms in the series 5k³, where k=1,2,3,...,10. Report your answer to the Command Window.

b. Repeat part (a) without using a loop.

Data--- December 1 was the start of the company’s operations. The company had no operations prior to December 1.

6. Each unit in ending WIP inventory was 100% complete with respect to materials costs and 80% complete with respect to conversion costs.

Question -- Is the weighted average being used in this example or is FIFO being used is this example? Please explain.

Let X = the distance (in meters) that a small animal moves from its birthplace to the first territorial vacancy it encounters. Suppose that for a specific species X has a uniform distribution with a mean of 75 meters and a standard deviation of 10 meters.

a) What is the probability that the distance is at most 100 m? At most 200m?  

b) What is the probability that the distance is between 100m and 200m?  

c) What is the probability that the distance exceeds the mean distance?  

d) What is the distance exceeded by 15% of the individuals?  

e) If the animal has been walking for 100 m, what is the probability that it will have to walk for another 50m?

f) If you observe 15 animals, what is the probability that less than 5 will have to walk more than 100m?
