Dear Sir,

By reviewing the whole document finally, which is to be presented to the client tomorrow, I found some mistakes in the results. I came to know that the results are incorrect and are surely needed to be corrected before the presentation.

I recommend you to delay the meeting for 3 hours by the scheduled time, as i need to check and correct the whole figures again and this would take time.

I am looking forwards for your advice.

Best Regards

Over [174]
<span>The most probable thing that will happen if the pie maker keeps making additional pies is this: the marginal costs will continue to rise, increasing the total cost, while the marginal revenue remains the same, decreasing the profit. This is to assume that no buyer is interested in purchasing the pies at a certain period of time. </span>

A company’s total monthly sales (in millions of dollars) t months from now are given by:
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a) \frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3

b) S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million

c) For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

d) S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million

e) This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

Explanation:

For this case we have the following function for the sales

S(t) = 0.5 t^2 +3t -5

Part a          

For this case we want to find the derivate of S respect to t and we got:

\frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3

Part b

For this case we want to find the value of S when t = 4 so if we replace we got:

S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million

Part c

For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

Part d

For this case we just need to replace t=4 in the derivate and we got:

S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million

Part e

This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

Over the past year, the current assets account on the common-size balance sheet of a firm has decreased, while the current liabi
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Decreased

Explanation:

Liquidity or current ratio =  Current Assets / Current liabilities

If the current asset has been decreased and the current liabilities has been increased then the answer would be higher than before.

The current ratio tells the same and the only difference written above and in current ratio is that the above mentioned Answer is conceptual based whereas current ratio uses numerical values of current assets and current liabilities written in the balance sheet.

Current ratio tells us that whether or not the company is able to meet its short term liabilities (Current Liabilities) using its short term asset (Current Assets).

Remember that the current assets are the assets that are convertible to cash within next 12 months. Whereas current liabilities are the liabilities which we have to pay in cash within the next 12 months.
