Answer:
a) Total cost = 49 + 38.75m
b) Total cost = 149 + 38.75m
c) The graphs of the lines are parallel and both has slope of - 2.5
d)Difference in total cost = $132.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost , TC = Initial membership fee + monthly charges
a) TC = 49 + 38.75m
b)TC = 149 + 38.75m
d) 149 + 38.75(6months) = 381.5
49 + 38.75(12months) = 514
Difference in total cost = 514 -381.5 = $132.5
<span>Dealing with finances becomes more difficult when working on a commission basis because unlike working on a salary basis, there is no regular pay. A commission means that earnings are based on rate of sale or number of completed tasks. Income may be reduced if you do not sell enough, or fail to complete enough tasks.</span>
We are asked in the problem to determine the number of quarters that are needed to complete 4975 units given the equation y = x6 − 25x4 + 199x2 where y is the number of manufactured units and x is the number of quarters needed.
substituting y = 4975, we find x. <span>x is readily found using calculator.</span>
Slope is the rise and run of a point on the graph to the other
the y intercept is where a line crosses the y axis for example, (0,5) so 5 is the y intercept
(0,8), (1,10), (2, 12), (3, 14), (4, 16), (5, 18)
