The Precision Writing Instruments Company makes two pen designs - the Cordova design and the Savannah design. These data apply, regardless of which of two pen designs is being implemented. Materials cost per pen is $6. Labor cost per pen is $5. Production overhead is
$1,000,000. Advertising and promotion is $1,000,000. Marketing research has estimated the following demand functions for the next year of sales for the two pen designs where Q represents demand in thousands and P represents price. For the Cordova design, Q = 150 - 2.5P. For the Savannah design, Q = 175 - 2.1P. A penetration strategy is proposed for the Savannah design and a price of $25 is selected. What will be the profit or loss for the first year?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  loss of $285,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The demand for the Savannah design is estimated to be ...

  Q = 175 -2.1P = 175 -2.1(25) = 122.5 . . . . thousand pens

Then the contribution margin from sales will be ...

  122,500($25 -$6 -$5) = $1,715,000

Against a total of $2,000,000 in production and advertising costs, the net will be a loss of ...

  $2,000,000 -1,715,000 = $285,000

The first-year loss will be $285,000.

The roof of the Westin Tower (officially called the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel) in Atlanta is located at a height of 723 ft. Assume a stone is dropped from this roof. (Note: Round numerical answers to two decimal places, if necessary.)

Required:
a. Find the distance of the stone above the ground at any time t (before it hits the ground).
b. How long does it take the stone to reach the ground?
c. With what velocity does it reach the ground?

Answers

Answer:

a) The stone takes approximately 6.704 second to reach the ground.

b) The stone takes approximately 6.704 second to reach the ground.

c) The stone hits the ground at a velocity of -215.695 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The stone experiments a free fall, which is a uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and in which effects from air friction and Earth's rotation are negliglble. Then, the vertical distance of the stone above the ground at any time [tex]t[/tex] is represented by the following model:

[tex]y = y_{o}+v_{o}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]y_{o}[/tex] - Initial height of the stone, measured in meters.

[tex]v_{o}[/tex] - Initial velocity of the stone, measured in meters per second.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that [tex]y_{o} = 723\,ft[/tex], [tex]v_{o} = 0\,\frac{ft}{s}[/tex] and [tex]g = -32.174\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}[/tex], then the distance of the stone above the ground at any time [tex]t[/tex] is represented by the following model:

[tex]y = 723 -16.087\cdot t^{2}[/tex] (2)

b) If we know that [tex]y = 0[/tex], then the time taken by the stone to reach the ground is:

[tex]723-16.087\cdot t^{2} = 0[/tex]

[tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{723}{16.087} }\,s[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 6.704\,s[/tex]

The stone takes approximately 6.704 second to reach the ground.

c) The function velocity is found by differentiating (2) once:

[tex]v = -32.174\cdot t[/tex] (3)

If we know that [tex]t \approx 6.704\,s[/tex], then the velocity when it hits the ground is:

[tex]v = -32.174\cdot (6.704)[/tex]

[tex]v = -215.695\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The stone hits the ground at a velocity of -215.695 meters per second.

Considering only the factors of the form x - k, what is the relationship between the k values and the zeros?​

Answers

Given:

Considering only the factors of the form x - k.

To find:

The relationship between the k values and the zeros?​

Solution:

We know that, if (x-c) is a factor of a function f(x), then x=c is a zero of function f(x), i.e., f(c)=0, where, c is a constant.

It is given that, only the factors of the form x - k. Then by using the above theorem we can say that, k values are the zeros of the function.

The relationship between the k values and the zeros is defined as

​k values = Zeros of the function

Therefore, the k values are to zeros of the function.

An automobile assembly line operation has a scheduled mean completion time, , of minutes. The standard deviation of completion times is minutes. It is claimed that, under new management, the mean completion time has decreased. To test this claim, a random sample of completion times under new management was taken. The sample had a mean of minutes. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the level of significance, the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the missing values;

Mean μ = 15.5 minutes

Standard deviation = 1.7 minutes

A Random sample of 90 completion

The sample mean = 15.4 minutes

Level of significance = 0.1

Then the following analysis can be made on the above study.

Firstly, the null hypothesis is [tex]\mathbf{H_o : \mu = 15.5}[/tex]

the alternative hypothesis is [tex]\mathbf{H_a: \mu < 15.5}[/tex]  

Since, the value is less than, then this is a one-tailed test.

The Z test statistics can be computed as:

[tex]Z = \dfrac{ \overline x - \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} } \ \ \sim \ \ N(0.1)[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{ 15.4-15.5 }{\dfrac{1.7}{\sqrt{90}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{ -0.1 }{\dfrac{1.7}{ 9.4868} }[/tex]

Z = −0.560

The critical value of Z at 0.1  level  of significance is:

[tex]Z_{0.1} = -1.28[/tex]

Decision Rule: We fail to reject the null hypothesis sInce -0.560 > -1.28

Conclusion: NO, there is no evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time has decreased. We conclude that the mean completion time remains at 15.5 minutes.

Margaret is completing a lifeguard course and is completing the test at the end of the
course. There are 75 total questions that she needs to complete and she is 36% complete.
How many more cuestions does she need to complete
Q

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For your first question,

Total percentage of people cheering for visiting team = 45%

Total percentage of people cheering for home team = 55%

Total number of people cheering = 1200

Therefore, the number of people cheering for visiting team = 45% of 1200

                                                                                                   = [tex]\frac{45}{100}[/tex] × 1200

                                                                                                   = 45 × 12

                                                                                                    = 540 people

For your second question,

Total number of questions = 75

Total percentage of the number of questions he completed = 36%

Percentage of the amount of questions left = 100 - 36 = 64%

Therefore, the number of questions left to complete = 64% of 75

                                                                                 = [tex]\frac{64}{100}[/tex] × 75

                                                                                 = [tex]\frac{64}{20}[/tex]  × 15

                                                                                 = [tex]\frac{64}{4}[/tex] × 3

                                                                                 = 16 × 3

                                                                                 = 48 questions are left

Picture of the circle:

Answers

Answer:

65.94cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equivalent equations to find the circumference of a circle are:

Circumference = 2 * pi * radius

Circumference = pi * diameter

Since the diameter of the circle is given, in order to find circumference, plug in 21cm into the 2nd equation:

Circumference = pi * diameter = pi * 21 cm = 3.14 * 21 = 65.94 cm
