The specific gravity of a liquid is 0.79 kg/m^3. Calculate
the mass density and the specific weight of the liquid.
All 77 rooms in a motel will be rented each night if the manager charges $40 or less per room. If he charges $(40+z) per room, then 2z rooms will remain vacant. If each rented room costs the manager $7 per day and each unrented room $2 per day in overhead, how much should the manager charge per room to maximise his profit?

A firm’s short run production function is given by Q=12L²-½L³ where L denotes the number of workers.
(a) Find the size of the workforce that maximizes output and hence sketch a graph of this production function.
