Answer:
18,000 is invested at 8%.
12,000 is invested at 6%.
20,000 is invested at 9%.
Explanation:
x = amount invested at 8%.
y = amount invested at 6%.
z = amount invested at 9%.
x + y + z = 50,000
.08x + .06y + .09z = 3960
interest on the first investment is equal to 2 times interest on the second investment.
.08x = 2 * .06y
solve for x to get x = .12y/.08 = 1.5y
since .08x = .12y, you can replace .08x with .12y.
since x = 1.5y, you can replace x with 1.5y
your two equations of x + y + z = 50,000 and .08x + .06y + .09z = 3960 become:
1.5y + y + z = 50,000
.12y + .06y + .09z = 3960
combine like terms in both equations to get: 2.5y + z = 50,000
.18y + .09z = 3960
you now have 2 equations with 2 unknown variables which can be solved simultaneously for a unique solution.
we will eliminate the z variable from the 2 equations in the following manner.
multiply both sides of the first eqution by 9 and multiply both sides of the second equation by 100.
you will get:
2.5y + z = 50,000 becomes 22.5y + 9z = 450,000.
.18y + .09z = 3960 becomes 18y + 9z = 396,000.
the 2 equations are now:
22.5y + 9z = 450,000
18y + 9z = 396,000
subtract the second equation from the first to get:
4.5y = 54,000
divide both sides of this equation by 4.5 to get:
y = 12,000
since x = 1.5y, then x must be equal to 18,000
since x + y + z = 50,000, then z must be equal to 20,000
you have:
x = 18,000
y = 12,000
z = 20,000
the interest on each of these investments is:
.08 * 18,000 = 1,440
.06 * 12,000 = 720
.09 * 20,000 = 1,800
add up the investments and you get 50,000
add up the interest and you get 3,960
the interest on the first investment is 2 times the interest on the second investment because 1,440 = 2 * 720.
all results are confirmed as good.
your solution is:
18,000 is invested at 8%.
12,000 is invested at 6%.
20,000 is invested at 9%.

Complete/Correct Question:
Walmart began offering low-priced extended warranties on home electronics after learning that its rivals such as Best Buy derived most of their profits from extended warranties. According to the Stalk and Lachenauer book, this is an example of the strategy to
A) plagiarize with pride.
B) deceive the competition.
C) devastate rivals profit sanctuaries.
D) unleash massive and overwhelming force
Answer:
c, devastate rivals profit sanctuaries
Explanation:
For Walmart to start making as much or more profits than its rival, Best Buy, it decided to head in the same direction as Best Buy by offering low-priced extended warranties on home electronics.
This action simply means that Walmart has infiltrated the profit strategy system of Best Buy and is using that a a competitive edge to also increase customer base as people will prefer to go Walmart as it has become cheaper.
Devastating rivals profit sanctuaries therefore means targeting the area or strategy of rivals to make more profit.

If the quantity demanded at a price of $10 is 2,000 and the quantity demanded at a price of $8 is 2,400, a price-discriminating monopolist would want to:
Answer:
D. sell 2.000 units for $10 each and then sell an additional 400 units for $8 each
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that
Quantity demanded is 2,000 at a price of $10
And, the other case is
Quantity demanded is 2,400 at a price of $8
So here we can conclude that
The quantity demanded of 2,000 would be at a price of $10
And, the additional units i.e. 400 (2,400 - 2,000) would be at a price of $8
Therefore the correct option is d.
A customer has contacted you and expressed anger about the service provided by your company. During the call, you discover that another technician responded to the customer's original issue. In spite of the customer's tone, you remain calm. What should you do next?

Answer:
fixed position
Explanation:
A fixed position layout is where a product to be produced remains in a certain spot or location but the workers needed to work on the product , including machinery are moved to the place where the product is to be produced as at when required. This is because there may be limited space at the project site, hence component parts of the product to be manufactured are then coupled at other site and taken to the product site.
An example of fixed layout is the construction of dams, shipbuilding, buildings etc. A fixed position layout is most suited for heavy and fragile products.
