Answer:

The answer is a): 38%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Contribution margin ratio is a ratio of the difference between sales and variable costs/expenses, to the sales; it can be expressed in percentage.

Sales = $425,000

Variable costs = 62% of $425,000 = 62 × $425,000 ÷ 100 = $263,500 .

The difference between sales and variable cost = $425,000 — $263,500 = $161,500 .

Therefore, the contribution margin ratio = $161,500 ÷ $425,000 = 0.38

The contribution margin ratio expressed in percentage = 0.38 × 100 = 38% .

In an internal operating income statement, the form is as such:

(1) Sales (or Revenue) - Total Variable Costs = Contribution Margin;

(2) Contribution Margin - Total Fixed Costs = Operating Income

and

(3) Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

The first equation helps us out. Sales is the whole amount for this statement, or 100%. We know variable costs are 62% and the rest goes to the Cont. Margin.

100% - 68% = 32% (choice A)

slega [8]

Answer:

1) There were 33 $4,000 investors and 27 $8,000 investors.

2) The solution in x = 4, y = 9.

3) There were 24 nickels and 56 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A lawyer has found 60 investors for a limited partnership to purchase an inner-city apartment building, with each contributing either $4,000 or $8,000. If the partnership raised $348,000, then how many investors contributed $4,000 and how many contributed $8,000?

I am going to say that:

x is the number of investors that contributed 4,000.

y is the number of investors that contributed 8,000.

Building the system:

There are 60 investors. So:

x + y = 60

In all, the partnership raised $348,000. So:

4000x + 8000y = 348000

I am going to simplify by 4000. So:

x + 2y = 87

Solving the system:

The elimination method is a method in which we can transform the system such that one variable can be canceled by addition. So:

1)x + y = 60

2)x + 2y = 87

I am going to multiply 1) by -1. So we have

1)-x - y = -60

2)x + 2y = 87

By addition, the x are going to cancel each other

-x + x - y + 2y = -60 + 87

y = 27

For x:

x + y = 60

x = 60-y = 60-27 = 33

There were 33 $4,000 investors and 27 $8,000 investors.

2) Solve the system by row-reducing the corresponding augmented matrix.

2x + y = 17

x + y = 13

This system has the following augmented matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&17\\1&1&13\end{array}\right]

To help the row reducing, i am going to swap the first with the second line:

L1  L2

So we have:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\2&1&17\end{array}\right]

Now, reducing the first column.

L2 = L2 - 2L1

So we have:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\0&-1&-9\end{array}\right]

Now we do:

L2 = -L2

And the matrix is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\0&1&9\end{array}\right]

Now to reduce the second column, we do:

L1 = L1 - L2

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&4\\0&1&9\end{array}\right].

So the solution is:

x = 4, y = 9.

3) A jar contains 80 nickels and dimes worth $6.80. How many of each kind of coin are in the jar?

I am going to say that x is the number of nickels and y is the number of dimes.

Each nickel is worth 5 cents and each dime is worth 10 cents.

Building the system:

There are 80 coins in all:

x + y = 80

They are worth $6.80. So:

0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80

Solving the system:

1)x + y = 80

2)0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80

I am going to divide 1) by -10, so we can cancel y. So:

1)-0.10x - 0.10y = -8

2)0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80

Adding:

-0.10x + 0.05x - 0.10y + 0.10y = -8 + 6.80

-0.05x = -1.2 *(-100)

5x = 120

x = \frac{120}{5}

x = 24

Also

x + y = 80

y = 80-x = 80-24 = 56

There were 24 nickels and 56 dimes.

Answer:

(x-4)^2+(y+7)^2=43

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is given by:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Where (<em>h, k</em>) is the center and <em>r</em> is the radius.

We are given that the center is (4, -7) and that the radius is √(43).

So, <em>h</em> = 4, <em>k</em> = -7, and <em>r</em> = √(43). Substitute:

(x-(4))^2+(y-(-7))^2=(\sqrt{43})^2

Simplify. Hence, our equation is:

(x-4)^2+(y+7)^2=43
