Answer:

D. Interpretation: The zeros are where the daily profit is $0.00

zeros: x = 3.586 and x = 6.414

Explanation:

We have been given the following daily profit function;

$y=-6(x-5)^{2}+12$

where y is the profit (in hundreds of dollars) of a taco food truck

and x the price of a taco (in dollars)

The zeros of this profit function can be obtained by solving for x in the following equation;

$0=-6(x-5)^{2}+12$

These will simply be the x-intercepts of the profit function. That is the points where the profit function crosses or intersects the x-axis.

Therefore, an interpretation of the zeros of this function would be;

The zeros are where the daily profit is $0.00

These zeros can be evaluated graphically. We first obtain the graph of the profit function as shown in the attachment below;

We then determine the x values where the graph crosses the x-axis. These values will represent the zeros of our profit function. From the graph, these points are;

x = 3.586 and x = 6.414

a. The computation of Mollycaits' operating break-even point is 2,473 units ($4,500/$1.82).

b. The calculation of Mollycaits' EBIT on the department store order is $812.40 ($9,500 - $8,688).

c. If department stores' price were $9.51, the EBIT will be $5,387 ($14,075 - $8,688).

Note that for (b) and (c), the fixed cost is not considered.

d. Without paying more than $7.69, the quantity that will result in an EBIT of $3,700 is 4,505 units ($4,500 + $3,700)/$1.82

e. Varieties of Mollycaits = 15 with variable cost of $5.87

f. The recommendation to Molly and Caitlin with regard to pricing and varieties to offer is that, while the company can varieties to suit the needs of customers, it must ensure that it does not price them below $5.87, its operating cost.

Data and Calculations:

Special contract:

Units of figurines offered = 1,480

Sales value of offer = $9,500

Selling price per unit = $6.42 ($9,500/1,480)

Variable operating cost = $5.87

Contribution margin per unit = $0.55 ($6.42 - $5.97)

Normal business:

Estimated average price per unit = $7.69

Variable operating cost = $5.87

Contribution margin per unit based on average price = $1.82 ($7.69 - $5.87)

Fixed cost per month = $4,500

Thus, Molly and Caitlin can offer various types of figurine, but they must sell at least 2,473 units to break-even.
