In 1880, five aboriginal trackers were each promised the equivalent of 50 Australian dollars for helping to capture the notorious outlaw Ned Kelley. In 1997, the granddaughters of two of the trackers claimed that this reward had not been paid. The Victorian prime minister stated that if this was true, the government would be happy to pay the $50. However, the granddaughters also claimed that they were entitled to compound interest. How much was each granddaughter entitled to if the interest rate was 4%? How much was each entitled to if the interest rate was 8%?

XYZ company can manufacture their own products and sells them. They are able to control the demand by changing the price that is determined by the equation below. The company is thinking of maximizing their profit. The fixed cost is $1,000 per month and the variable cost is $40 per unit. Find the number of units that must be manufactured and sold monthly to maximize profit. (Demand D in the equation is monthly) Hint: Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost 2,700 5,000 p = $38 + D for D > 1 D2 1 Add file
