Population, Resources, and the Environment Much of the concern over envi- ronmental issues stems from the perception that we may reach a limit to the number of people whose needs can be met by the earth's finite resources. We may or may not reach this point, given the potential for new technological discoveries, but it is clear that continuing on our present path of accelerating environmental degradation would severely compromise the ability of present and future generations to meet their needs. A slowing of population growth rates would help ease the intensification of many environmental problems. However, the rate and timing of fertility declines, and thus the eventual size of world population, will largely depend on the commitment of governments to creating economic and institutional conditions that are conducive to limit- ing fertility

Last year, a company introduced a new version of its main product. The product costs $24002400 to develop (i.e. the start up costs) and $3535 to manufacture each product. Do all the following problems on your page: i) Give a linear equation in the form C(n)=mn+bC(n)=mn+b that gives the total cost to produce nn of these products. Give your answer in function notation. No steps or work are required, just give the function. ii) Find the total cost to produce n=3500n=3500 of these products. Show what numbers you used in your arithmetic calculations. Use function notation in your work. Answer in a complete sentence form with units and context. iii) If the company has $5315053150, how many of these items can be produced? Use function notation in your work. Answer in a complete sentence form with units and context.
Sav Blundell Biotech. Blundell Biotech is a U.S.-based biotechnology company with operations and earnings in a number of foreign countries. The company's profits by subsidiary, in local currency (in millions) along with the average exchange rate for each year, by currency pairs, are shown in the table for 2013 and 2014. Use these data to answer the following questions. a. What was Blundell Biotech's consolidated profits in U.S. dollars in 2013 and 2014? b. If the same exchange rates were used for both years-which is often called a "constant currency basis-what was the change in corporate earnings on a constant currency basis? c. Using the results of the constant currency analysis in part (b), is it possible to separate Blundell's growth in earnings between local currency earnings and foreign exchange rate impacts on a consolidated basis?
