Answer:

The total number of scooters is 10

Explanation:

Total profit is maximized where Marginal Revenue (MR) = Total Marginal Cost

= 50 + 50 + 50 + 50 = $200

TR = P × Q = (300 - 5Q) × Q = 300Q - 5Q²

So, MR = \frac{d(TR)}{dQ} = 300 - 2(5Q) = 300 - 10Q

Now, MR = 200 gives,

300 - 10Q = 200

So, 10Q = 300 - 200 = 100

So, Q = \frac{100}{10}

So, Q = 10

Y_Kistochka [10]

Phyllis' RATE (percentage) of return is 7 percent

<u>Explanation:</u>

Data provided in the question:

Purchase price for each share = $50

Dividend received = $1 per share

worth of shares at the end of year = $52.50

Thus, total return on the share  = dividend received plus worth of sahres at the end of year minus purchase price

= $1 plus $52.50 minus $50 = $3.5

Therfore, rate of return = [ total return on the shares by purchase price ] into 100%

= [$3.5 by $50] inot 100 percent

= 7 percent

hence, the option with 7 percent will be the correct answer.
