                   Profit margin = ( Net income / Revenue ) * 100

                                             = 0.57

                  Return on assets =( Net income / Total assets ) * 100

                                                = ( 917 / 18, 227 ) *100

                                                = 5.03%

                  Return of equity = ( Net income / Total shareholder equity )*100

                                               = ( 917 / 4,475 ) *100

                                               = 20.49%

almond37 [142]

Answer:

b. No - the increase in lease expense is a fixed cost.

Explanation:

If the owner of Italian restaurant increases the prices of its product it will result in low customers as the restaurant is already at the competitive price among its other competitors. If the restaurant raises prices the customers will move to the competitors which are offering same quality product at reduced price. The rent is increased by 20% which is considered as a fixed cost because it does not affect the per unit production and is not associated with the numbers of customers.

A newspaper headline writer found that the more adjectives she put in the titles of her articles, the greater the number of news
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Positive.

Explanation:

A linear function has a positive relationship and as such an increase in one variable (input variable) causes an increase in the other variable (output variable) i.e the variables are directly proportional. Thus, the graph of a linear function is a straight-line and its slope is always constant.

On the other hand, nonlinear function has a negative relationship and as such an increase in one variable (input variable) causes a decrease in the other variable (output variable) i.e the variables are inversely proportional.

This ultimately implies that, the graph of a nonlinear function is a curved line and whose direction is constantly changing

In this scenario, the relationship between numbers of adjectives and newspaper sales must be positive because the higher the amount of adjectives put in the titles of her articles, the greater the number of newspapers that would be sold on a particular day.
