Harper Chicken Corporation processes and packages chicken for grocery stores. It purchases chickens from farmers and processes t

hem into two different products: chicken drumsticks and chicken steak. From a standard batch of 12,000 pounds of raw chicken that costs $7,000, the company produces two parts: 2,800 pounds of drumsticks and 4,200 pounds of breast for a processing cost of $2,450. The chicken breast is further processed into 3,200 pounds of steak for a processing cost of $2,000. The market price of drumsticks per pound is $1.25 and the market price per pound of chicken steak is $4.20. If Harper decided to sell chicken breast instead of chicken steak, the price per pound would be $2.20.
Required

a-1. Allocate the joint cost to the joint products, drumsticks and breasts, using weight as the allocation base.

a-2. Calculate the gross margin for each product.

a-3. If the drumsticks are producing a loss, should that product line be eliminated?

b-1. Reallocate the joint cost to the joint products, drumsticks and breasts, using relative market values as the allocation base.

b-2. Calculate the gross profit for each product.

c-1. Should Harper further process chicken breasts into chicken steak? (Use the assumption made in requirement b-1).

c-2. How would the profit be affected by your answer in c-1?

Answer:

8.  Domain: (-∞, -15) ∪ (-15, -5) ∪ (-5, ∞)

9.  Domain: [7/13, ∞)

    Range: [1, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 8</u>

Given rational function:

f(x)=\dfrac{x}{x^2+20x+75}

Factor the denominator of the given rational function:

\implies x^2+20x+75

\implies x^2+5x+15x+75

\implies x(x+5)+15(x+5)

\implies (x+15)(x+5)

Therefore:

f(x)=\dfrac{x}{(x+15)(x+5)}

<u>Asymptote</u>: a line that the curve gets infinitely close to, but never touches.

The function is <u>undefined</u> when the <u>denominator equals zero</u>:

x+15=0 \implies x=-15

x+5=0 \implies x=-5

Therefore, there are <u>vertical asymptotes</u> at x = -15 and x = -5.

<u>Domain</u>: set of all possible input values (x-values)

Therefore, the <u>domain of the given rational function</u> is:

(-∞, -15) ∪ (-15, -5) ∪ (-5, ∞)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Question 9</u>

Given function:

f(x)=\sqrt{13x-7}+1

<u>Domain</u>: set of all possible input values (x-values)

As the <u>square root of a negative number</u> is <u>undefined</u>:

\implies 13x-7\geq 0

\implies 13x\geq 7

\implies x\geq \dfrac{7}{13}

Therefore, the <u>domain of the given function</u> is:

\left[\dfrac{7}{13},\infty\right)

<u>Range</u>: set of all possible output values (y-values)

\textsf{As }\:\sqrt{13x-7}\geq 0

\implies \sqrt{13x-7}+1\geq 1

Therefore, the <u>range of the given function</u> is:

[1, ∞)

If the coordinates of the endpoints of a diameter of the circle are known, the equation of a circle can be
miskamm [114]

The equation of the circle would be (x - 1)² + (y - 3)² = 65.

<h3>What is the equation of a circle?</h3>

The equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius, r in center radius form is given;  

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

The coordinates of the center of the circle can be calculated by the formula

((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).

The point (x₁,y₁) = (9, 2) and (x₂,y₂) = (-7, 4).

So, ((9 -7)/2, (4 + 2)/2) = (1, 3).

Now, r² = (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)².

Let (x₁, y₁) = (1, 3) and (x₂, y₂) = (-7, 4).

So, r² = (-7 -1)² + (4 - 3)²

= -8² + 1² = 64 + 1 = 65.

With center (h,k) = (1, 3) and r² = 65, we have

Thus, the equation would be (x - 1)² + (y - 3)² = 65.

Denise received 300 votes in election for student council president she was 60% of the students who voted in the election how ma
nata0808 [166]

Answer: 500 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be shown by this formula.

300 is 60% of x. So if u can find the 100% by taking 300 and multiplying it by 100 which would be the 100% and dividing it by 60 which would be the 60%. The number that you get is how many didn't vote for Denise. Now just add these which would be 300+200 which would give you the answer above.
