Bob is planning to start an IT business, servicing computers that are infected with viruses. To start his new enterprise, Bob estimates that he will need to spend $5,000 on equipment $6,000 on premises, $4,000 on advertising. All of these costs are fixed. He is planning on charging his customers $250 each to fix an infected computer. For each computer that he fixes, he must spend $25 on parts and software. Suppose we let x be the number of computers that Bob fixes. If Bob fixes 300 computers, what is his total profit?

Question 4 Maggie works at a very popular freshly squeezed lemonade stand on a beach that sells regular lemonade and strawberry lemonade. To make a glass of regular lemonade it takes 4 whole lemons. To make a glass of strawberry lemonade it takes 3 whole lemons and 2 average sized strawberries. The owners figured they have a budget so that each morning a truck delivers 900 lemons to the stand and 408 strawberries to the stand. On each glass of regular lemonade, a profit of R1,95 is made. The stand is able to charge more for strawberry lemonades and a profit of R2,10 is made on each glass of that. The owners want Maggie to sell at least twice the amount of strawberry lemonade each day as regular lemonade because more profit is made on the strawberry lemonade. They have also asked that at least 50 strawberry lemonades get sold each day because the strawberries spoil more quickly than the lemons. How many regular lemonades and how many strawberry lemonades should Maggie sell each day to…
In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $32 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $40 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision. (a) Determine the equation for computing FTC's profit for given values of the…
Three friends are trying to predict who will make more money at work tomorrow. John works construction: he will make $250 tomorrow unless it rains, in which case he will make $0. Sara works in a restaurant: she will earn $100 if it is sunny, $200 if it is rainy, and $250 if the weather is average. Chris works in a warehouse, and he earns a flat rate of $200 per day, regardless of weather conditions. Suppose there is a 20% chance that tomorrow will be sunny, and 50% chance that the weather will be average, and a 30% chance of rain. Determine tomorrow’s expected earnings for each of these 3 friends. Compute the standard deviation for Sara’s earnings. Handwrite the solution
A producer of perishable product offers a wage incentive to drivers of its trucks. A standard delivery takes an average of 30 hours. Drivers are paid at the rate of $20 per hour up to maximum of 40 hours. If the trip requires more than 30 hours, the drivers receive compensation for only 30 hours. There is an incentive for drivers to make the trip in less (but not to much less) than 30 hours. For each hour under 30, the hourly wage increases by $1.25.Determine the function w = f(x) where w equals the hourly wage in dollars and x equals the number of hours required to complete the trip.a) What trip time x will maximize the driver salary for the trip?b) What is the hourly wage associated with this trip?c) What is the maximum salaryd) How does this salary compare with that received for a 20 hours trip?

The resources needed for producing these devices and the corresponding profits are; If there are $200,000 worth of capital and 5240 hr of labor available each day, how many of each device should be produced per day to maximize profit. Express answer to nearest integer.
Question 6 of 16 Ali, the CEO of a manufacturing company, decided to expand the product offering of his business to include the manufacture of a specific model automotive unit. To include this product, his business would incur fixed costs of $365,000 per year and variable costs of $6 per unit. He plans to sell each unit for $88. a. Calculate the number of units he would have to manufacture to break even. Round up to the next whole number b. While manufacturing the unit, he realized that an additional fixed cost of $3,000 per year was required, and also realized that to be more competitive in the market he had to drop the selling price by 20%. What is the new break-even volume? Round up to the next whole number
