Answer:

$10.67

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Initial cost = $3

Initial selling cost = $5

Initial sales = 4000

with $1 increase in price she loses 300 sales per month

Now,

Let the increase in price which maximizes the profit be '$x'

Therefore,

Final selling price = $5 + x

Final sales = 4000 - 300x

Thus,

Revenue = Final selling price × Final sales

= ( 5 + x)( 4000 - 300x)

= 20,000 - 1500x + 4000x - 300x²

= 20,000 + 2500x - 300x²

Total Cost = Initial cost × Final sales

= 3(4000 - 300x )

= 12,000 - 900x

Now,

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

or

P = [ 20,000 + 2500x - 300x² ] - [ 12,000 - 900x ]

or

P = 8,000 + 3400x - 300x²

for point of maxima \frac{dP}{dx}=0

Thus,

0 = 0 + 3400 - 300(2x)

or

0 = 3400 - 600x

or

600x = 3400

or

x = \frac{17}{3}

Hence,

The price will be = $5 + x = 5 + \frac{17}{3}

= $10.67

labwork [276]

When we use the IRS rule which states the standard deduction amount should be greater than $900 or the income earned by the taxpayer  for the year in addition with $300 (should not be exceeding the regular standard deduction). Income earned by Toby is $2,897, then add

$300 into it.

The correct standard deduction amount would then be $3,197 ($2,897 +300)=$3197.

Standard deduction is the deduction given by the income tax authorities  to the tax payer.

Internal revenue bulletin is the instrument used by the IRS for announcing all the rules.
