Suppose that the farmer had bought the rice at x dollars per bag and had sold them at a 25% markup. How much did the bags cost him before he added the markup? 1.25x =$75 results in $75/1.25, or $60 per bag.

If he sold 25 bags, his profit would be 1.25($60/bag)(25 bags) = $1875.

I very seriously doubt that the rice was $7500 per bag. Perhaps you meant $75/bag...?

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The question is about the least amount to charge each policyholder as premium

The least premium is $484

Step-by-step explanation:

The least amount of premium to charge for this policy is the sum of the expected values of outcome of both instances of policyholder dying before the age of 70 and living after the age of 70 years

expected value of dying before 70 years=payout*probability=$24,200*2%=$484

Expected of living after 70=payout*probability=$0*98%=$0

sum of expected values=$484+$0=$484

Note that payout is nil if policyholder lives beyond 70 years

The premium of $573 means that a profit of $89 is recorded

Use lagrange multiplier techniques to find the local extreme values of f(x, y) = x2 − y2 − 2 subject to the constraint x2 + y2 =

dexar [7]

Given $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ subject to the constraint $x^2+y^2=16$

Let $g(x,\ y)=x^2+y^2$ .

The gradient vectors of $f$ and $g$ are:

$\nabla f(x,\ y)=\langle2x,-2y\rangle$ and $\nabla g(x,\ y)=\langle2x,2y\rangle$

By Lagrange's theorem, there is a number $\lambda$ , such that

$\langle2x,-2y\rangle=\lambda\langle2x,2y\rangle=\langle2\lambda x,2\lambda y\rangle$

$\lambda=\pm1$

It can be seen that $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ has local extreme values at the given region.
