6 0

Given a function, if you suspect a root lies near a specific point on the number line, you can evaluate the function at several nearby values and see whether the evaluation is positive or negative. Using a calculator, you should find two real numbers that are at distance 0.01 from one another, such that one real number evaluates positive, and the other evaluates negative. Then the interval between these values contains a root.

Answer:

1. cost per chair: $86.40

2. selling price per chair: $146.88

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The total cost per chair will be the sum of the cost of materials and the overhead cost (equipment, energy, labor, marketing). The cost of materials is ...

$500/(16 chairs) = $31.25/chair

So, the total cost is ...

cost of each chair = material cost + overhead cost

= $31.25 +55.15

cost of each chair = $86.40

2. We assume the markup is 70% of the cost, so will be ...

0.70 · $86.40 = $60.48

Then the selling price of the chair will be ...

selling price = cost + markup

selling price = $86.40 +60.48

selling price = $146.88
