Suppose that chemical X is manufactured using a raw material B that is available from a location called the "mine." Production of one ton of X requires 1/3 of a ton of B. A firm called X Enterprises, which has a contract to deliver 30 tons of X to a location called the "market," is trying to decide where to locate its plant. The mine and the market are 50 miles apart. river passes between the mine and the market, and the river has no bridge. Goods must be loaded onto barges to cross the river, which is located 16 miles from the mine. Barge operators charge $1 per ton of X shipped across the river. However, since the input B is highly toxic when mixed with water, barge operators must charge an extremely high price to transport B across the river. This price defrays the cost of insurance that the operators must carry to meet liability claims should they accidentally pollute the river with their cargo. The cost of shipping one ton of B across the river is $195. Four locations for frms are: mine, market, mine side of the river, and market side of river

(1) Using the above information, find the transport-cost-minimizing location for X Enterprises, which is the location (Assume that the width of the river is negligible so that it can be ignored.)
(2)The input cost of the location you flled in above for the firm is , and the output cost is , and the total cost is

Jenny​ walters, who owns a real estate​ agency, bought an old house to use as her business office. she found that the ceiling was poorly insulated and that the heat loss could be cut significantly if six inches of foam insulation were installed. she estimated that with the​ insulation, she could cut the heating bill by​ $80 per month and the​ air-conditioning cost by​ $70 per month. assuming that the summer season is three months​ (june, july, and​ august) of the year and that the winter season is another three months​ (december, january, and​ february) of the​ year, how much can jenny spend on insulation if she expects to keep the property for five​ years? assume that neither heating nor​ air-conditioning would be required during the fall and spring seasons. if she decides to install the​ insulation, it will be done at the beginning of may.​ jenny's interest rate is​ 6% compounded monthly.

The average u. s. household has $178,600 in life insurance. the standard deviation is $25,500. a local insurance agent would like to see how households in his city compare to the national average, and selects a simple random sample of 30 households from the city. for the households in the city, the average amount of life insurance is $188,800. a. based on the sample results, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true average amount of life insurance for households in the city. b. test the h0 : $178,600 ? ? to determine if the city's sample average is significantly different from the u. s. average amount of life insurance per household. use the conventional levels of significance.
