Use the Lagrange multiplier method to identify the stationary point(s) of the function ?(?, ?, ?)=10? + 5? + ? + 2?^2 + 4?? + ?^2 + 2?? - ?^2 - ??, subject to the constraint 5? + 3? + ? = 27. Subsequently determine the nature of the stationary point(s) using the bordered Hessian matrix.

A sample of size 27 will be drawn from a population with mean 4 and standard deviation 3.

(b) If appropriate find the probability that x will be greater than 2.

(c) If appropriate find the

40th percentile of x.

3. A decrease in income causes increase in quantity demanded, shifts D curve to the left
4. A decrease in income causes increase in quantity demanded, shifts S curve to the left

2. Suppose a producer is able to separate customers into two groups, one having an inelastic demand and the other having an elastic demand. If the producer’s objective is to increase total revenue, he should:

1. Decrease the price charged to customer with the elastic demand and increase the price charged to customer with the inelastic demand
2. Increase the price for both groups of customers
3. Increase the price charged to customer with the elastic demand and decrease the price charged to customer with the inelastic demand
4. decrease the price for both groups of customers

3. Which of the following is likely to have the most price inelastic demand?

1. MP3 players
2. Laptop computers
3. Designer jeans
4. School fees for students

2. An increase in income causes increase in quantity demanded, shifts S curve to the left
3. An increase in income causes increase in quantity demanded, shifts D curve to the right
4. An increase in income causes increase in quantity demanded, shifts S curve to the right

Follow a public traded stock and analyze the changes in stock price. Write a presentation and an executive memo of your findings. Choose one of the following companies:

1. Amazon
2. Alphabet
3. Microsoft
4. Facebook
