Maximize z = 8x x x 3, subject to 20x x x 3 91,800 and 12x x x 3 42,000, with x 1 0, x 2 0, and x 3 0. x1 x2 x3 s1 s2 z , , (-R1 + 5R2 ) ( 3R + 5R ) 1 3 x1 x2 x3 s1 s2 z , , , 400 It follows that x 1 = 0, x 2 = 0, and x 3 = 2,295 where x 3 is the number of ten-speed bikes needed to maximize profits. Multiply x 3 = 2,295 by the respective profit per unit: $2,295 $24 = $55,080 ANSWER KEY - Page 54

55 ANSWER KEY DSST Business Math 78. The correct answer is C x1 x2 s1 s2 z x x s s z R1 3R R2 2R x1 x2 s1 s2 z R1 R R + R The minimization is z = The correct answer is C. Add the amounts in the portion to principal column: $ $ $82.87 = $ ANSWER KEY - Page 55

56 ANSWER KEY DSST Business Math 80. The correct answer is B. Substitute the given values into the present value formula where FV is $2,000,000, i is 6%, and n is 5: ( 1 i) PV = FV + -n ( ) -5 = $2,000, = $1, 495, = $1,495, The correct answer is A. Substitute the given values into the formula where F is $1,000,000, i is 4.5%, and n is 24: A = = Fi n ( 1 + i) 1 $1, 000, 000( 0.045) ( ) 24 1 = $23, = $24, The correct answer is A. Substitute the given values into the future value for lump sum formula, where FV is future value and PV is present value. Solve the two equations and find the difference between the results. For account A, where i is 5%, PV is $1,000, and n is 365: ( 1 ) FV = PV + i 365 ( + ) ( + ) = $1, $1, = $1, For account B, where i is 5%, PV is $1,000, and n is 2: n ( 1 ) FV = PV + i 2 ( + ) ( + ) = 1, , = $1, Subtract to find the difference between the accounts: n $1, $1, = $0.64 ANSWER KEY - Page 56
