The weekly profit of a company is modeled by the function w = –g2 + 120g – 28. The weekly profit, w, is dependent on the number

of gizmos, g, sold. If the break-even point is when w = 0, how many gizmos must the company sell each week in order to break even?

Answer:

120 gizmos.

Explanation:

We have been given that the weekly profit of a company is modeled by the function w =-g^2+120g-28. The weekly profit, w, is dependent on the number of gizmos, g, sold. The break-even point is when  w=0.

To find the number of gizmos the company must sell each week in order to break even, we will substitute w=0 in profit function as:

0 =-g^2+120g-28

-g^2+120g-28=0

Now, we will use quadratic formula to solve for g.

g=\frac{-120\pm\sqrt{120^2-4(-1)(-28)}}{2(-1)}

g=\frac{-120\pm\sqrt{14400-112}}{-2}

g=\frac{-120\pm\sqrt{14288}}{-2}

g=\frac{-120\pm 119.53242237987}{-2}

g=\frac{-120-119.53242237987}{-2}\text{ or }g=\frac{-120+119.53242237987}{-2}

g=\frac{-239.53242237987}{-2}\text{ or }g=\frac{-0.46757762013}{-2}

g=119.76621118\text{ or }g=0.2337888

g\approx 120\text{ or }g\approx 0.23

We will take the larger value for the number of gizmos.

Therefore, the company must sell 120 gizmos each week in order to break even.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

d. $1,200

Explanation:

The computation of the interest expense is shown below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of days in a year)

= $80,000× 6% × (90 days ÷ 360 days)

= $1,200

We simply apply the simple interest formula

Since the number of days and the total number of days are given so we considered the same for the computation part.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The answer would be PRICE SIGNALING

Explanation:

Price signaling may occur when consumers have  imperfect information about product quality. To infer quality, consumers may rely on previous experience or may use some of the product’s observable characteristics, such as  the product’s price. We examine the scenario whereby the firm can endogenously change  consumers’ beliefs about the product’s quality by altering both the price and quality of its product. Our main findings are that, in this type of setting, price signaling causes  the firm to raise its price, lower its quality, and dampen the degree to which it responds to cost shocks. If the cost of adjusting quality is sufficiently high, the dampening effect  is pronounced in the downward direction, meaning that price signaling  causes prices to  respond less to cost decreases than cost increases.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Robinson's deferred income tax expense or benefit for the current year would be $6,700

Explanation:

The computation of the deferred income tax expense or benefit for the current year is shown below:

= Deferred tax expense - adjustment of tax based on the tax rate

where,

Deferred tax expense = (Favorable temporary differences - unfavorable temporary differences) × corporate tax rate

= ($50,000 - $20,000) × 21%

= $6,300

And, the adjustment of tax equals to

= Net taxable temporary difference × (Tax rate - corporate tax rate)

= $100,000 × (34% - 21%)

= $13,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $6,300 - $13,000

= $6,700
