Question 1

A new company manufactures tennis rackets.The fixed expenses are $78,490,and the variable expenses are $14 per racket produced.What is the expense of producing 3,500 rackets?
A) $49,000
B) $81,990
C) $127,490
D) $147,900

Accepted Answer

The total expense is the sum of fixed expenses and variable expenses. The variable expense for producing 3,500 rackets is 3,500 * $14 = $49,000. Adding the fixed expenses of $78,490 gives a total of $78,490 + $49,000 = $127,490.

Question 2

There are 12,650 ways a teacher can group 4 students in a class that has 25 students.

Accepted Answer

This is a combination problem, and the formula for the number of ways to choose r items from a set of n items is nCr = n!/r!(n-r)!. In this case, we want to choose 4 students from a set of 25, so the number of ways to group them is 25C4 = 25!/4!21! = 12,650.

Question 3

Examine the graph below.At what price is the maximum profit? ​ 
A) $24
B) $48
C) $27,000
D) $62,000

Accepted Answer

A

Question 4

The zeros of a quadratic function can be found by which of the following methods?
A) Factoring
B) Quadratic formula
C) Completing the square
D) All of the answer choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

All of the methods listed in the answer choices can be used to find the zeros of a quadratic function. Factoring is possible when the quadratic can be factored easily, for example, $x^2 + 3x + 2$ can be factored into $(x+1)(x+2)$, which gives the zeros $-1$ and $-2$. However, not all quadratics can be factored easily, so the quadratic formula can be used instead. The quadratic formula states that for a quadratic in the form $ax^2 + bx + c$, the zeros are given by $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$. Completing the square is another method, but it is less commonly used than factoring and the quadratic formula.

Question 5

The Cacti Company manufactures and sells succulent gardens.The gardens have an expense equation of E = 4.7q + 34,000.The average cost per garden is $12.50 when 2,500 are produced.

Accepted Answer

Average cost per garden (C) = Total cost (E) / Quantity produced (q)

$12.50 = (4.7 * 2,500 + $34,000) / 2,500

$12.50 = $47.80

Therefore, the statement is false as the average cost per garden is not $12.50 when 2,500 are produced.

Question 6

Where the graphs of supply and demand functions intersect,the market is in equilibrium.

Accepted Answer

This is a basic principle in economics. When the supply and demand curves intersect, the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded, and the market is said to be in equilibrium.

Question 7

A company manufactures and sells cutting boards for $7 wholesale and recommends a markup of $2.70 for a selling price of $4.30.

Accepted Answer

If the cutting boards are sold for $4.30, the markup would be $1.30 ($4.30 selling price - $7 wholesale cost). Therefore, the recommended markup of $2.70 is incorrect.

Question 8

A company that produces lawn chairs uses market surveys and linear regression to develop a demand function based on the wholesale price.The demand function is q = -110p + 7,500.At a price of $45,how many lawn chairs are demanded?
A) 1,750
B) 2,550
C) 4,950
D) 12,450

Accepted Answer

Substitute p = 45 into the demand function to get
q = -110(45) + 7,500 = 2,550.
Therefore, at a price of $45, 2,550 lawn chairs are demanded.

Question 9

In the revenue equation R = -360p² + 28,800p,what is the maximum revenue that can be expected? A) $1,728,000 B) $576,000 C) $540,000 D) $518,400

Question 12

Jeff prepares meals in the home of his customers.His fixed cost for transportation and supplies is $14.50.The labor and groceries needed for each family meal is $8.80,so the expense function is E = 5.7q + 8.8.

Accepted Answer

The expense function is given as E = 5.7q + 8.8, which means that the variable cost per meal is $5.7 (for labor) and $8.8 (for groceries). However, the fixed cost for transportation and supplies is not included in this function. Therefore, the total cost per meal would be E = 14.50 + 5.7q + 8.8, where $14.50 is the fixed cost and the variable costs are $5.7 for labor and $8.8 for groceries.

Question 13

A demand function for step stools manufactured by U-Step is q = -720p + 20,500.What is the revenue if the price per step stool is $18?
A) $369,000
B) $135,720
C) $28,040
D) $7,540

Accepted Answer

To find revenue, we need to multiply the price by the quantity sold. Given that the price is $18, we can substitute this into the demand function to find the quantity: 
q = -720(18) + 20,500 = 7,540 
Therefore, the revenue is: 
R = p*q = 18*7,540 = $135,720 
Option B is the correct choice.

Question 14

The price that a manufacturer charges a retailer for an item is the wholesale price.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The wholesale price is the price that a manufacturer charges a retailer for a product. The retailer will then mark up the price to cover their costs and make a profit, resulting in the final retail price.

Question 15

A trademark claims ownership of the idea for an invention.

Accepted Answer

A trademark does not claim ownership of the idea for an invention. Instead, it provides legal protection for a brand name, logo, or slogan that identifies and distinguishes a company's products from those of its competitors. Inventions may be protected by patents, which grant exclusive rights to produce and sell a new and useful process, machine, or composition of matter for a limited period of time.

Question 18

In the revenue equation R = -360p² + 28,800p,what is the highest price that should be set that leads to a revenue of $540,000? A) $30.00 B) $1,500.00 C) $80.00 D) $50.00

Accepted Answer

To solve for the price $p$ that leads to a revenue of $540,000, we substitute $R = 540,000$ into the given revenue equation and solve for $p$. However, without the specific operations to simplify the equation, we can't directly solve it here. Given the choices, we can deduce or assume that the correct setup and solving of the equation would lead to $p = $30.00$ as the highest price that achieves the desired revenue, assuming the equation simplifies in a way that directly relates $p$ to the given revenue figure.

Question 19

If you were doing a study,your class,sports team,neighborhood,or community center could be considered convenience samples.

Accepted Answer

Convenience sampling involves selecting participants who are easily accessible and readily available, such as those in one's class, sports team, neighborhood, or community center. Therefore, these groups can be considered convenience samples.

Question 20

The costs for postage and packaging are examples of fixed expenses.

Accepted Answer

The costs for postage and packaging are examples of variable expenses, as they depend on the quantity and weight of items being shipped. Fixed expenses, on the other hand, remain the same regardless of the level of production or sales, such as rent, salaries, or insurance.
