Zach took $400,000 out of the bank and used it to start his new cookie business. the bank account pays 3 percent interest per year. during the first year of his business, zach sold 6,000 boxes of cookies for $2.50 per box. also, during the first year, the cookie business incurred costs that required outlays of money amounting to $9,000.

Zach's accounting profit for the year was $6,000.

His economic profit was -$6000

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

During the first year of his business, Zach sold 6,000 boxes of cookies for $2.50 per box.

Therefore the total revenue is

Also, during the first year, the cookie business incurred costs that required outlays of money amounting to $9,000.

Accounting profit = total revenue-explicit costs

                            = $15,000-$9,000 = $6,000

Hence, Zach's accounting profit for the year was $6,000.

Zach took $400,000 out of the bank and bank account pays 3 percent interest per year.

Economic profit = accounting profit-interest on capital invested

                          = $6000-$12000  = -$6000

Hence, his economic profit was -$6000

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!

y= 2x+7

changed to y= 5x +7

as slope is increased from 2 to 5

therefore it would be less steeper

so, option d) is correct
