Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem. (You do not need to solve this problem). If you were solving this problem using Solver, what would you put in the target cell, changing cells? How are you going to enter the constraints?

Suppose an economist believes that the price level in the economy is directly related to the money supply, or the amount of money circulating in the economy. the economist proposes the following relationship: p=a x m - p=price level - m=money supply - a=a composite of other factors, including real gdp, that change very slowly over time. how might an economist gather empirical data to test the proposed relationship between money and the price level? an economist would persuade the federal reserve to change the money supply to various levels, and observe the resulting changes in the price level. unlike researchers in the hard sciences, economists cannot study complex relationships using data. economists do not usually develop theoretical models of the economy but only analyze summary statistics about the current state of the economy. an economist would look for data on past changes in the money supply, and note the resulting changes in the price level

Quantitative problem: you need $20,000 to purchase a used car. your wealthy uncle is willing to lend you the money as an amortized loan. he would like you to make annual payments for 4 years, with the first payment to be made one year from today. he requires a 8% annual return. what will be your annual loan payments? round your answer to the nearest cent. do not round intermediate calculations. $ how much of your first payment will be applied to interest and to principal repayment? round your answer to the nearest cent. do not round intermediate calculations. interest: $ principal repayment
