Disclaimer- The complete question is

Wilson hires a financial analyst to analyze costs and profits for his cereal production business. The analyst determines that Wilson's eventual profit function is given as pi = 2x ^ 4 - 4x ^ 3 + 7 where x is the number of bags of cereal produced. At what point or number of bags of cereal will Wilson's profit start decreasing?

If the company produces only one 1 bag then the profit of Wilson starts decreasing.

Let  f ( x ) = 2x^4 − 4x^3 + 7

f ′ ( x ) = 8x^3 − 12x^2

For decreasing,  f ′( x ) ≤ 0

⇒  4x^2 ( 2x−3 ) ≤ 0

⇒  2x−3 ≤ 0     ( a s x^2 ≥ 0)

⇒  x ≤ 3/2

Since, x is number of bags

So,  x ∈ N

∴ x = 1 is only possibility

Thus, If the company produces only one 1 bag then the profit of Wilson starts decreasing.

Financial analysis is the process of evaluating a company's performance using financial data and making suggestions for future improvement.

Explanation:

Differential Analysis

                                                          Make            Buy

Manufacturing Cost per bottle         $ 67

Purchasing Cost per bottle                                  $35

Freight per bottle                                                  $ 5

<u>Fixed Costs                                                            $ 22   </u>

<u>Total                                                   $ 67              $62   </u>

The fixed costs are the irrelevant costs that will continue whether bottles are manufactured or purchased.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

It would appear that she develops a participatory leadership or management.

Explanation:

"Theory Y managers have an optimistic, positive opinion of their people, and they use a decentralized, participative management style. This encourages a more collaborative, trust-based  relationship between managers and their team members.

People have greater responsibility, and managers encourage them to develop their skills and suggest improvements. Appraisals are regular but, unlike in Theory X [authoritative] organizations, they are used to encourage open communication rather than control staff."
