Bernardo Beefmaster has 50 cull cows that average 1100 Ibs and he purchased them for $60/cwt. He fed the cows for 55 days and sold them at 1260 Ibs for $65/cwt. The cows averaged about 30 lbs of feed per day, and cost $7/cwt. Calculate the average daily gain, feed efficiency (feed:gain), feed only cost of gain, breakeven per pound and total, and the total margin. WHAT IS THE BREAKEVEN VALUE PER POUND?

A company finds that it can sell out a certain product that it produces, at the rate of Tk. 2 per unit. 1 It estimates the cost function of the product to be Tk. 1000 + 2 50 for q units produced. (i) Find the expression for the total profit, if q units are produced and sold. (ii) Find the number of units produced that will maximize profit. (iii)What is the amount of this maximum profit? (iv) What would be the profit if 6000 units were produced?
Question 9 Trenny has asked her assistant to prepare estimates of cost of two different sizes of power plants. The assistant reports that the cost of the 150 MW plant is $220,000,000, while the cost of the 270 MW plant is $400,000,000. If Trenny has a budget of only $300,000,000, estimate how large a power plant she could afford using linear interpolation (Enter your answer rounded to one decimal place and in MW eg. XX.X)?
A company estimates it will sell 5000 products in a year. I twould like to make some number N of equally spaced orders of size x units per order so that the total inventory cost (which includes prdering and storage) is minimized. a) If there is a 420 per order fixed cost plus a cost of $9 per unit ordered, and the storage cost per year is $10, find the number of orders and the numbers of units per order so that the goal of minimizing inventory costs is achieved. b) Suppose that the ordering cost doubles to $18 per unit ordered,and that no other chnage is made. Decide whether this should or should not change the solutuon that you foind in part (a), and justify your answer.
