Answer: A. maximizes the profits from money management.
Explanation:
The optimal average level of money is indeed the amount that maximises profit from money management.
Money management is essentially taking charge of your money and ensuring that you manage it in such a way as to limit unnecessary expenses whilst growing money through measures such as budgeting, investing and expenses tracking.
With Mr Peabody's income and other financial constraints, the optimal average level of money will be the most he can maximise from managing his money.
Answer: expanding into additional businesses that unlock possibilities for a comprehensive cost enhancement strategy.
Explanation:
The options include:
purchasing a powerful and well-known brand name that could be transferred to the products of other businesses and thereby used as a lever for driving up the sales and profits of such businesses.
opening up new avenues for reducing costs by diversifying into closely related businesses such as direct-to-consumer streaming of media content.
leveraging existing resources and capabilities by expanding into related industries where these same resource strengths were key success factors and valuable competitive assets.
expanding into additional businesses that unlock possibilities for a comprehensive cost enhancement strategy.
expanding into industries whose technologies and products complemented its present media and entertainment businesses.
The least likely among Disney's considerations in completing its acquisition of Fox will be the expansion into additional businesses that unlock possibilities for a comprehensive cost enhancement strategy.
Answer:
A) R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2
B) P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500
C) 80
D) 2300
E) 80
Explanation:
Given the following :
Price of suit 'x' :
p = 120 - 0.5x
Cost of producing 'x' suits :
C(x)=2500 + 0.25 x^2
A) calculate total revenue 'R(x)'
Total Revenue = price × total quantity sold, If total quantity sold = 'x'
R(x) = (120 - 0.5x) * x
R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2
B) Total profit, 'p(x)'
Profit = Total revenue - Cost of production
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = (120x - 0.5x^2) - (2500 + 0.25x^2)
P(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2 - 2500 - 0.25x^2
P(x) = - 0.5x^2 - 0.25x^2 + 120x - 2500
P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500
C) To maximize profit
Find the marginal profit 'p' (x)'
First derivative of p(x)
d/dx (p(x)) = - 2(0.75)x + 120
P'(x) = - 1.5x + 120
-1.5x + 120 = 0
-1.5x = - 120
x = 120 / 1.5
x = 80
D) maximum profit
P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500
P(80) = - 0.75(80)^2 + 120(80) - 2500
= -0.75(6400) + 9600 - 2500
= -4800 + 9600 - 2500
= 2300
E) price per suit in other to maximize profit
P = 120 - 0.5x
P = 120 - 0.5(80)
P = 120 - 40
P = $80
