An Amazon seller is deciding which of their products to invest in for the next quarter to maximize their profits. They have each of their products listed as segments of a circle. Due to varying market conditions, the products do not sell consistently. The seller wants to achieve maximum profit using limited resources for investment. The product list is segmented into a number of equal segments, and a projected profit is calculated for each segment. The projected profit is the cost to invest versus the sale price of the product. The seller has chosen to invest in a number of contiguous segments along with those opposite. Determine the maximum profit the seller can achieve using this approach.

Suppose that hubert, an economist from an am talk radio program, and kate, an economist from a nonprofit organization on the west coast, are arguing over government bailouts. the following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: kate: to recent financial crises, the concept of bailouts is a hot topic for debate among everyone these days. hubert: indeed, it’s gotten crazy! a government bailout of severely distressed financial firms is unnecessary because free markets will properly price assets. kate: i don’t know about that. without a bailout of severely distressed financial firms, the economy will experience a deep recession. the disagreement between these economists is most likely due todifferences in scientific judgments . despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? business managers can raise profit more easily by reducing costs than by raising revenue. central banks should focus more on maintaining low unemployment than on maintaining low inflation. employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations
