It is known that the ABC oil company supplies consumers with 150 tons of products per day. The company produces only two types of products - gasoline and diesel fuel. The limiting transformation ratio of diesel fuel relative to gasoline is 0.5. a) Draw a line of the company's monthly production capacity for gasoline and diesel. b) With the advent of new technologies, production increased by 20%, and the availability of gasoline increased by 30%. Explain how the company's new product line differs from the previous one. c) If we put the gasoline production on the X-axis of the graph, what percentage of the slope capacity of the production line is different from the slope ratio of the previous production line?

Coffee RoasteryFocused on keeping its entire supply chain green, the roastery carefully selects the suppliers from whom it sourcescoffee beans. It works directly with farms and farm cooperatives, who are accredited as treating their farmers andemployees fairly and ethically. Approximately 50% of the roastery’s output is used by BB’s academy and coffee bars,ensuring a continued green chain across its businesses. In 2020, the coffee roasting unit produced 4500 tonnes andcontributed 15% of BB’s total revenue. The sustainability positioning has differentiated BB from its peers, and helpedit earn collaborations with socially responsible corporates. Best of all, there is now capacity to expand production toaround 18,000 tonnes at the roastery and start exporting roasted coffee beans to other countries.At present, the roastery is roasting 100% Arabica beans. The average wholesale price BB is able to sell the Arabicabeans for in 2021 is US$3.10, down from US$4.42 in 2014. However, projections…

■CASE STUDY THE PROPERTY MANAGER AS ECONOMIST-PLANNER After graduating from college with honors and a master's degree in eco- nomics, Charles Gill was hired by the local urban renewal authority in his home town of approximately 500,000 people. His responsibilities were in the areas of statistics, financial planning, and research. When activities of the urban renewal authority began to wind down upon completion of a major downtown redevelopment project, one of the directors, a businessman who had acquired some real estate investment property, hired Charles to manage one of his residential rental properties. The area's economy had slowed with the general downturn that occurred throughout the country and severely depressed the price of real estate in many areas, including property in Charles's town. In addition, a local defense factory had closed, leaving hundreds out of work. Charles saw there were suddenly many properties available that were priced far less than they had sold for just a…
