Page 93 Problem 1 Answer
Given that there is an error when calculating the expense and revenue values
To find how we can improve the error By using basic knowledge
While we are using rounding off values, we can get some minute error in the revenue and expense values.
So, to improve on the error we have to use exact price values instead of the rounding values.
But it is somewhat difficult to calculate with the exact values manually.

Given that E=−3500p+238000
R=−500p2+30000p
To find a,b,c in cellsB11,B12,B13
By using basic calculations
Given that
E=−3500p+238000
R=−500p2+30000p
At breakeven point, The expense equals to revenue
−3500p+238000=−500p2+30000p
−500p2+33500p−238000=0
This equation is similar to the equation in cellB10
The a,b,c values are the values from the equation −500p2+33500p−238000=0
Page 95 Problem 3 Answer
Given that Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing
To find How might the quote apply to what you have learned
By using the own knowledge
If you don’t know what you are doing, then won’t know if you will make a profit or make a loss.
Moreover, you always won’t realize the extent of the possible loss and this could then provide a very large risk.
In practice, you will need to take into account your total expenses to determine the price of your items such that you won’t make any loss.
However, if you fail to do so, then you have a high risk of making a loss, as you didn’t check which prices will result in a profit for your company.
Page 95 Problem 4 Answer
Given that A supplier of school kits has determined that the combined fixed and variable expenses to market and sell G kits is W
To find breakeven point
By finding the price per item
The breakeven point is the price of one item
So, Breakeven point is W/G
Page 95 Problem 5 Answer
Given that A supplier of school kits has determined that the combined fixed and variable expenses to market and sell G kits is W
To find breakeven point
By finding the price per item
The cost per item is the total cost (which is 80%of W ) divided by the number of items (2G).
The price per item is 80%×W
2GTo make breakeven the cost per item should equal the price (revenue) per item.
80%×W/2G

Given: The expense function isE=−200p+10,000 and the revenue function isR=−18p{2}+800p.
To find The price at which maximum revenue is reached and the maximum revenue.
For a parabola, the greatest revenue price is found along the axis of symmetry.
For a parabolay=ax{2}+b+c, the greatest revenue price is found along the axis of symmetryx=−b/2a.
We havea=−32,
b=1200 and
