A vendor has learned that, by pricing caramel apples at $1.25, sales will reach 111 caramel apples per day. Raising the price to

$2.00 will cause the sales to fall to 81 caramel apples per day. Let y be the number of caramel apples the vendor sells at x dollars each. The linear equation y = -40x + 161 models the number of caramel apples sold per day when the price is x dollars each. Interpret the slope.

Solution:

Slope = y2 - y1 / x2 -x1

slope = 81 - 111 / $2.00 - $1.25

slope = -30/$0.75

So every $0.75 increase causes a decrease of 30 sales.

So the rise over run or slope of the line is -30/0.75 = -40/1

Start forming the equation:

y = mx + b

y = -40x + b

Substitute one of the points to find the y-intercept:

81 = -40(2) + b

Isolate for the y-intercept:

b = 161

So,

y = -40x + 161

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

(Decrease, Increase)

Explanation:

When the government formulates and implements policies aimed at increasing equality, the society will experience a reduction in the level of efficiency. For example, an increase in income tax on wealthiest Americans, and redistribution of the tax revenue to the poorest Americans would may discourage the wealthy from taking more income-generating activities which create jobs, this is not optimal. At the same time, this policy would reduces the peoples’ incentive to work hard to earn their own money.

An entity enters into a contract with a customer to sell products X, Y, and Z in exchange for $250,000. Control over the product
atroni [7]

Answer:

B. $31,250

Explanation:

The computation of the revenue that should be recognized by the entity on the sale of product X is shown below;

Here the transaction price should be distributed to the performance obligations.

The sum of the standalone selling price is

= $40,000 + $120,000 + $160,000

= $320,000

And, the standalone selling price is $40,000

Now the revenue that should be recognized is

= $40,000 ÷ $320,000 × $250,000

= $31,250
