On february 1, 2012, nelson corporation purchased a parcel of land as a factory site for $250,000. an old building on the property was demolished, and construction began on a new building which was completed on november 1, 2012. costs incurred during this period are listed below:
demolition of old building $ 20,000architect's fees 35,000legal fees for title investigation and purchase contract 5,000construction costs 1,290,000(salvaged materials resulting from demolition were sold for $10,000.)
nelson should record the cost of the land and new building, respectively, as:
a. $275,000 and $1,315,000.
b. $260,000 and $1,330,000.
c. $260,000 and $1,325,000.
d. $265,000 and $1,325,000.

The management of a private investment club has a fund of $250,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. to arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high risk (x), medium risk (y), and low risk (z). management estimates that high risk stocks will have a rate of return of 15%/year; medium risk stocks, 10%/year; and low risk stocks, 6%/year. the amount of money invested in low risk stocks is to be twice the sum of the amount invested in stocks of the other two categories. if the investment goal is to have a rate of return of 9% on the total investment, determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock. (assume that all the money available for investment is invested.)

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.
