Answer:

The increase in Arthur's operating profits would be <u>$1120</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The Arthur Company manufactures kitchen utensils. The company is currently producing well below its full capacity. The Benton Company has approached Arthur with an offer to buy 16,000 utensils at $0.70 each. Arthur sells its utensils wholesale for $0.80 each; the average cost per unit is $0.78, of which $0.15 is fixed costs.

If Arthur were to accept Benton's offer.

Now, to find the increase in Arthur's operating profits.

The average cost per unit = $0.78.

The fixed costs = $0.15.

So, to get the variable cost we subtract the fixed cost from the average cost per unit:

0.78-0.15=0.63.

Thus, the variable cost is $0.63.

As, the Benton Company has approached Arthur with an offer to buy 16,000 utensils at $0.70 each.

So, to get the profit per unit we subtract $0.70 from the variable cost:

0.70-0.63=\$0.07.

Profit per unit = $0.07.

Number of utensils = 16,000.

Now, to get the total profit we put formula:

<u><em>Total profit = Number of utensils × Profit per unit.</em></u>

Total\ profit=16,000\times 0.07\\\\ Total\ profit=\$1120.

Therefore, the increase in Arthur's operating profits would be $1120.

8x + y = 9 <br> Convert the following equations to standard form
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

x=1/8y+9/8    

y=<u>y=−8x+9</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's solve for y.</u>

<u>8x+y=9</u>

<u>Step 1: Add -8x to both sides.</u>

<u>8x+y+−8x=9+−8x</u>

<u>y=−8x+9</u>

<u />

<u>Let's solve for x.</u>

<u>8x+y=9</u>

<u>Step 1: Add -y to both sides.</u>

<u>8x+y+−y=9+−y</u>

<u>8x=−y+9</u>

<u>Step 2: Divide both sides by 8.</u>

<u>8x/8=−y+9/8</u>

<u>x=−1/8y+9/8</u>
