The following table shows the expenses and income for a local college student.  Assume that amounts shown for salaries and wages are after taxes and that 1 month = 4 weeks. Income Expenses Part-time Job:  $1100/month Rent:  $550/month Student Loans:  $8400/year Groceries:  $50/week Scholarship:   $5700/year Tuition and Fees:   $7500/year   Health Insurance:   $40/month   Entertainment:   $40/week   Phone:   $65/month a) What is the student's monthly income?  b) What is the student's monthly expenses?  c) What is the student's net monthly cash flow?
Price scanners at the checkout register sometimes make mistakes, charging either more or less than the labeled price. Suppose that a scanner is wrong 4% of the time, with half of the errors in favor of the store and half in favor of the customer. Assume that an error in favor of the store means that the scanned price is 5% above the listed price and an error in favor of the customer means that the scanned price is 5% below the listed price. How would these errors affect the distribution of the prices of sold items? The pricing errors will result in V mean price and V in variation.
An economist believes there is a linear relationship between the marketprice of a particular commodity and the number of units suppliers of thecommodity are willing to bring to the marketplace. Two sampleobservations indicate that when the price equals $15 per unit, the weekly supply equals 30,000 units; and when the price equals $20 per unit, theweekly supply equals 48,000 units (i) If price per unit, p, is plotted on the horizontal axis and the quantitysupplied q is plotted on the vertical axis, determine the slope-intercept formof the equation of the line which passes through these two points.(ii) Interpret the slope of the equation in this application.(iii) Predict the weekly supply if the market price equals $25 per unit.
