Answer:

It may be more expensive and time-consuming than using an intermediary

Explanation:

Direct selling makes it hard to reach new customers and also entails spending an extensive time in trying to convince prospective customers before sales is made. Sadly, in some situations, some prospects do not buy in on the intended product and thus, no sale is made and time wasted.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": It may be more expensive and time-consuming than using an intermediary.

Explanation:

Taking care of the activities of a company directly will always imply a greater sense of responsibility and planning compared to outsourcing the activities. Intermediaries take care of all that is necessary to accomplish the duty their clients assign and sell their services in a way that the firm saves some money and time.  

Therefore, <em>while contemplating is adding direct selling to retail businesses to increase sales, managers must consider that it could be more expensive and time-consuming than hiring an agency to do so.</em>

anyanavicka [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A manufacturer believes that the cost function : $C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  approximates the dollar cost of producing x units of a product. The manu- facturer believes it cannot make a profit when the marginal cost goes beyond $210. What is the most units the manufacturer can produce and still make a profit? What is the total cost at this level of production?

Solution :

Given the cost function is :

$C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  

Now, Marginal cost = $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)$

So, if the marginal cost = $ 210, then the manufacturer also makes a profit and if it goes beyond $ 210 than the manufacturer cannot make a profit.

Therefore, we have to equate : $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \$ 210$

$\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \frac{5}{2}(2x)+120 = 210$

$5x + 120 = 210$

$5x=210-120$

$5x=90$

$x=45$

So when x = 45, then C(x) = $ 8042.5

Therefore, the manufacturer $\text{can make up}$ to 45 units and $\text{still makes a profit.}$ This leads to a total cost of $ 8042.5
