In a particularly small region in the Philippines, the consumer price index C depends on • E, the current value of the gross regional domestic expenditure; • P, the number of people living in poverty; and • F, the average number of household members in a family. In particular, C = 100 + P where e denotes Euler's number. It is known that the gross F regional domestic expenditure is decreasing at the rate of PhP 50 per year; while the number of people living in poverty and the average number of household members in a family are increasing at the rate of 3 and 1 person per year, respectively. How fast does the consumer price index change per year when E = 1000, P = 200, and F = 5? [b]

Monthly sales of a particular personal computer are expected to decline at the following rate of S'(t) computers per month, where t is time in months and S(t) is the number of computers sold each month. S'(t)= -25t^(2/3) The company plans to stop manufacturing this computer when monthly sales reach 900 computers. If monthly sales now (t=0) are 2,100 computers, find S(t). How long will the company continue to manufacture this computer?
