Answer:

Profit in 2009 = 7.602616858 million = 8 million

Explanation:

given data

profit = $5.8 million

profit increased = 7%

solution

we first get here profit in 2006 that is

Profit in 2006 = profit × ( 1 + increase profit % )

Profit in 2006 = $5.8 million  × ( 1 + 7% )

Profit in 2006 = $6.206 million

and

Profit in 2007 = $6.206 million   × ( 1 + 7% )

Profit in 2007 = 6.64042 million

and

Profit in 2008 = 6.64042 million   × ( 1 + 7% )

Profit in 2008 = 7.1052494 million  million

and

Profit in 2009 = 7.1052494 million   × ( 1 + 7% )

Profit in 2009 = 7.602616858 million

Profit in 2009 = 8 million

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A) R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) 80

D) 2300

E) 80

Explanation:

Given the following :

Price of suit 'x' :

p = 120 - 0.5x

Cost of producing 'x' suits :

C(x)=2500 + 0.25 x^2

A) calculate total revenue 'R(x)'

Total Revenue = price × total quantity sold, If total quantity sold = 'x'

R(x) = (120 - 0.5x) * x

R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) Total profit, 'p(x)'

Profit = Total revenue - Cost of production

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (120x - 0.5x^2) - (2500 + 0.25x^2)

P(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2 - 2500 - 0.25x^2

P(x) = - 0.5x^2 - 0.25x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) To maximize profit

Find the marginal profit 'p' (x)'

First derivative of p(x)

d/dx (p(x)) = - 2(0.75)x + 120

P'(x) = - 1.5x + 120

-1.5x + 120 = 0

-1.5x = - 120

x = 120 / 1.5

x = 80

D) maximum profit

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(80) = - 0.75(80)^2 + 120(80) - 2500

= -0.75(6400) + 9600 - 2500

= -4800 + 9600 - 2500

= 2300

E) price per suit in other to maximize profit

P = 120 - 0.5x

P = 120 - 0.5(80)

P = 120 - 40

P = $80

Ainat [17]

Answer:

a. $295.81

Explanation:

Total market value = (310 * 10.2) + (260 * 20.4)

Total market value = 3,162 + 5,304

Total market value = 8466

Joint cost allocated to L on basis of value

= [ (310 * 10.2) / 8,466] * 792

= (3,162 / 8,466) * 792

= $295.81
