Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the auditorium holds an average of 1000 people each.

And that she charges $40 each.

Thus;

Total income for each speech is;

1000 × 40 = $40000

Since she gives an average of 10 presentations each week.

Total income per week = 10 × 40000 = $400,000

Now,the expenses she makes for each speech weekly is;

Renting auditorium = $15000

Motel, jet expenses, support personnel = $75000

Thus,

Total expenses per week = 15000 + 75000 = $90000

Now, total profit per week is;

P_weekly = Total income per week - Total expenses per week

P_weekly = $400000 - $90000

P_weekly = $310000

There are 52 weeks in a year, thus, profit in a year is;

P_yearly = 52 × 310000 = $16120000

Now, we want to find out how long it took her to make $1,400,000 a year.

We know that;

$16120000 was achieved in 52 weeks

Thus;$1,400,000 will be achieved in;

(1400000 × 52)/16120000 = 4.52 weeks approximately 5 weeks.

zhannawk [14.2K]
We are asked to solve for the incremental net income from reworking the phones.
Number of items = 1000
Production Cost = 1000*$60 = $60,000
Salvage value = 1000*$30 = $30,000
Rework Cost = 1000 *80 = $80,000
Price when resold = 1000 * $120 = $120,000

Incremental Net = $120,000 + $30,000 - $60,000 -$80,000
Incremental Net = $10,000

The answer is $10,000.

Answer:

\large\boxed{2(5m^4n^{-1})^3=250m^{12}n^{-3}=\dfrac{250m^{12}}{n^3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Use}\\\\(ab)^n=a^nb^n\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\-------------------\\\\2(5m^4n^{-1})^3=2(5)^3(m^4)^3(n^{-1})^3=2(125)m^{3\cdot4}n^{-1\cdot3}=250m^{12}n^{-3}=\dfrac{250m^{12}}{n^3}

Answer:

Megan needs a 95 to get an average of 90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the test scores Megan has earlier, you would get 355 as a result of all scores added.  In order to get an average of 90%, you would need to accumulate 450 points which she will need to take her final exam on it.  Subtract 355 from 450 to get a score of 95% in which she will need that score to average it to 90%.
