Answer:

The initial value of the boat was $20,000

The percent decrease per year of the value of the boat is 10%.

The interval on which the value of the boat is decreasing while Harry has it is (0,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the boat costs $20,000 in 2010 when x = 0. So, the initial value of the boat was $20,000.

Next, find the percent decrease per year of the value of the boat. Consider the general form of an exponential equation, y = a(b)x, where a is the initial value of the boat, b is the base of the exponent, x is the number of years after 2010, and y is the value of the boat, in dollars.

Consider the point (1 , 18,000) which lies on the graph of this situation. Substitute x = 1, y = 18,000, and a = 20,000 into the exponential equation and isolate b.

Recall that for exponential decay, b = 1 - r where r represents the decay rate. Substitute b = 0.9 into this equation and solve for r.

So, the decay rate is 0.1, and the percent decrease per year of the value of the boat is 10%.

Harry bought the boat in 2010, and plans on selling it after 10 years in 2020. Therefore, the interval on which the value of the boat is decreasing while Harry has it is [0, 10].

Consumer Reports indicated that the average life of a refrigerator before replacement is 14 years with a standard deviation of 2

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

a.) Average life of a refrigerator

b.) 0.1151

c.) 0.0548

d.) 0.6472225

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Average life before replacement, mean, m = 14 years

Standard deviation, σ = 2 years

A.)

The random variable is the variable which is being measured.

B.) What is the probability that someone will keep a refrigerator fewer than 11 years before replacement?

Fewer than 11 years, P(x < 11)

We need to obtain the Z probability, at P(Z < 11)

The Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Zscore = (11 - 14) / 2.5 = - 1.2

P(Z < - 1.2) = 0.1151

C.) What is the probability that someone will keep a refrigerator more than 18 years before replacement?

More than 18 years, P(x > 18)

We need to obtain the Z probability, at P(Z > 18)

The Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Zscore = (18 - 14) / 2.5 = 1.6

P(Z > 1.6) = 0.0548

D.) What is the probability that someone will replace a refrigerator between 8 and 15 years?

P(x < 8)

The Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Zscore = (8 - 14) / 2.5 = - 2.4

P(Z < - 2.4) = 0.0081975

P(x < 15)

The Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Zscore = (15 - 14) / 2.5 = 0.4

P(Z < 0.4) = 0.65542

P(Z < 0.4) - P(Z < - 2.4)

0.65542 - 0.0081975 = 0.6472225

Canarie Manufacturing produces snow shovels. The selling price per snow shovel is $29.00. There is no beginning inventory. Costs

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Value of ending inventory = $97,650

Step-by-step explanation:

Full costing is a costing method that consider all the costs including all variable and fixed costs in determining the cost of producing products or services.

From the question, we have the following:

Total variable manufacturing costs per unit = $11.00

Fixed manufacturing overhead per year = $233,550

Number of snow shovels produced during the year = 51,900

Number of snow shovels sold during the year = 46,500

Therefore, we have:

Total variable manufacturing costs incurred during the year = Total variable manufacturing costs per unit * Number of shovels produced during the year = $11.00 * 51,900 = $570,900

Based on full costing, we have:

Total cost of producing snow shovel during the year = Fixed manufacturing overhead per year + Total variable manufacturing costs incurred during the year = $233,550 + $570,900 = $804,450

Production cost per unit = Total cost of producing snow shovel during the year / Number of snow shovels produced during the year = $804,450 / 51,900 = $15.50

Number of ending inventory = Number of snow shovels produced during the year - Number of snow shovels sold during the year = 51,900 - 46,500 = 6,300

Value of ending inventory = Number of ending inventory * Production cost per unit = 6,300 * $15.50 = $97,650

Mrs. Jackson bought 2/3 pound of bananas at $.51 per pound, 1 1/4 pounds of peaches for $2.00 per pound, 1/2 gallon of orange ju

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

$11.47

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate Mrs.Jackson's total we first need to turn the fractions into decimals by simply dividing the numerator by the denominators like so...

2/3 = 0.66

1 1/4 = 1.25

1/2 = 0.50

Now we need to multiply each products cost by the amount they bought in decimal form, then finally add them all together...

($0.51 * 0.66) + ($2 * 1.25) + ($4.50 * 0.50) + ($3.19 * 2) = x

0.34 + 2.5 + 2.25 + 6.38 = x

$11.47 = x

Finally, we can see that Mrs. Jackson's total was $11.47

Ryan has his own business selling watches, and he wants to monitor his profit per watch sold. The expression <img src="https://t

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

(-x² + 99x +200)/x

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit per watch = (200 - x)/x

Profit per band = 100 – x

New profit = (200 - x)/x + 100 – x

New profit = (200 - x)/x + x(100 – x)/x

New profit = (200 - x + 100x – x²)/x

New profit = (-x² + 99x +200)/x
