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

Sapien Corporation has provided the following data for the most recent year: Sales $1,340,000 Gross margin $460,000 Net operatin
natima [27]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $1,340,000

Gross margin = $460,000

Net operating income = $54,846

Net income before taxes = $41,846

Net income = $27,200

Gross margin percentage is calculated by dividing the gross margin with sales.

Gross margin percentage:

= (Gross margin ÷ Sales ) × 100

= (460,000 ÷ 13,40,000)  × 100

= 34.3 % (Approx)

An unexpected frost in the orange groves of California would causea. a decrease in the supply of orange juice, increasing the eq
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Unfavorable weather in the orange groves of California will adversely affect the production of oranges. This will cause a reduction in the supply of oranges. As a result, the price of oranges will decline.

Now, these oranges are used as input in making orange juice. The increase in input price will lead to an increase in the cost of production. This will further lead to a decrease in the supply of orange juice. Consequently, the equilibrium price of orange juice will increase.
