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.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Korea = 15

Italy = 16

France = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Korea = x

Italy = x + 1

France = x + 2

(since the values are consecutive)

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 48

3x + 3 = 48

3x = 48 - 3

3x = 45

x = 45 / 3

x = 15

Korea = x = 15

Italy = x + 1 = 16

France = x + 2 = 17

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Option: B

There are three times as many participants in the 40-59 age group than in the 0-19 age group.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the histogram we have following observations:

Number of people in the age group  0-19= 20

Number of people in the age group 20-39=40

Number of people in the age group 40-59=60

Number of people in the age group 60-79=50

Hence, from the data we could say that  there are three times as many participants in the 40-59 age group( which is 60) than in the 0-19 age group(which is 20).

Hence, option B is correct.
