Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater then or equal to six times the of that number and 26. what is the solution set to this proportion?

Consider a treasury bill with a rate of return of 5% and the following risky securities: security a: e(r) = .15; variance = .0400 security b: e(r) = .10; variance = .0225 security c: e(r) = .12; variance = .1000 security d: e(r) = .13; variance = .0625 the investor must develop a complete portfolio by combining the risk-free asset with one of the securities mentioned above. the security the investor should choose as part of her complete portfolio to achieve the best cal would be a. security a b. security b c. security c d. security d

David consumes two things: gasoline (g) and bread (b). david's utility function is u(g, b) = 10g^0.25 b^0.75. use the lagrange technique to solve for david's optimal choices of gasoline and bread as a function of the price of gasoline, p_g, the price of bread, p_b, and his income m. with recent decrease in the price of gasoline (maybe due to external shock such as shale gas production) does david increase his consumption of gasoline? for david, how does partial differential g/partial differential p_g depend on his income m? that is, how does david's change in gasoline consumption due to an increase in the price of gasoline depend on his income level? to answer these questions, find the cross-partial derivative, |partial differential^2 g/partial differential m partial differential p_g.
