PLS HELP ASAPPPPP!!!!
1. Write the equation that models the height of the roller coaster.

a) Start by writing the equation of the circle. (Recall that the general form of a circle with the center at the origin is x2 + y2 = r2.Ā 

b) Now solve this equation for y. Remember the roller coaster is above ground, so you are only interested in the positive root.

2. Graph the model of the roller coaster using the graphing calculator. Take a screenshot of your graph and paste the image below, or sketch a graph by hand

Model 1: One plan to secure the roller coaster is to use a chain fastened to two beams equidistant from the axis of symmetry of the roller coaster. You need to determine where to place the beams so that the chains are fastened to the rollercoaster at a height of 25 feet.

3. Write the equation you would need to solve to find the horizontal distance each beam is from the origin.

4. Algebraically solve the equation you found in step 3.Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

5. Explain where to place the two beams.Ā 

Model 2: Another plan to secure the roller coaster involves using a cable and strut. Using the center of the half-circle as the origin, the concrete strut can be modeled by the equation and the mathematical model for the cable is. The cable and the strut will intersect.

6. Graph the cable and the strut on the model of the roller coaster using the graphing calculator. Take a screenshot of your graph and paste the image below, or sketch a graph by hand.Ā 

7. Algebraically find the point where the cable and the strut intersect. Interpret your answer.Ā 

Model 3: Another plan to secure the roller coaster involves placing two concrete struts on either side of the center of the leg of the roller coaster to add reinforcement against southerly winds in the region. Again, using the center of the half-circle as the origin, the struts are modeled by the equations and. A vertical reinforcement beam will extend from one strut to the other when the two cables are 2 feet apart.

8. Graph the two struts on the model of the roller coaster.Take a screenshot of your graph and paste the image below, or sketch a graph by hand.

*Recall that a reinforcement beam will extend from one strut to the other when the two struts are 2 feet apart.

9. Algebraically determine the x -value of where the beam should be placed.

10. Explain where to place the beam.

Pittman Company is a small but growing manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. The company has no sales force of its own; rather, it relies completely on independent sales agents to market its products. These agents are paid a sales commission of 15% for all items sold.

Ā 

Barbara Cheney, Pittmanā€™s controller, has just prepared the companyā€™s budgeted income statement for next year as follows:
Ā 

Pittman Company Budgeted Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31 Sales Ā  $ 26,000,000 Manufacturing expenses: Ā  Ā  Variable $ 11,700,000 Ā  Fixed overhead 3,640,000 15,340,000 Gross margin Ā  10,660,000 Selling and administrative expenses: Ā  Ā  Commissions to agents 3,900,000 Ā  Fixed marketing expenses 182,000* Ā  Fixed administrative expenses 2,200,000 6,282,000 Net operating income Ā  4,378,000 Fixed interest expenses Ā  910,000 Income before income taxes Ā  3,468,000 Income taxes (30%) Ā  1,040,400 Net income Ā  $ 2,427,600

Ā 

*Primarily depreciation on storage facilities.

Ā 

As Barbara handed the statement to Karl Vecci, Pittmanā€™s president, she commented, ā€œI went ahead and used the agentsā€™ 15% commission rate in completing these statements, but weā€™ve just learned that they refuse to handle our products next year unless we increase the commission rate to 20%.ā€

Ā 

ā€œThatā€™s the last straw,ā€ Karl replied angrily. ā€œThose agents have been demanding more and more, and this time theyā€™ve gone too far. How can they possibly defend a 20% commission rate?ā€

Ā 

ā€œThey claim that after paying for advertising, travel, and the other costs of promotion, thereā€™s nothing left over for profit,ā€ replied Barbara.

Ā 

ā€œI say itā€™s just plain robbery,ā€ retorted Karl. ā€œAnd I also say itā€™s time we dumped those guys and got our own sales force. Can you get your people to work up some cost figures for us to look at?ā€

Ā 

ā€œWeā€™ve already worked them up,ā€ said Barbara. ā€œSeveral companies we know about pay a 7.5% commission to their own salespeople, along with a small salary. Of course, we would have to handle all promotion costs, too. We figure our fixed expenses would increase by $3,900,000 per year, but that would be more than offset by the $5,200,000 (20% Ɨ $26,000,000) that we would avoid on agentsā€™ commissions.ā€

Ā 

The breakdown of the $3,900,000 cost follows:

Ā 

Salaries: Ā  Sales manager $ 162,500 Salespersons 975,000 Travel and entertainment 650,000 Advertising 2,112,500 Total $ 3,900,000

Ā 

ā€œSuper,ā€ replied Karl. ā€œAnd I noticed that the $3,900,000 equals what weā€™re paying the agents under the old 15% commission rate.ā€

Ā 

ā€œItā€™s even better than that,ā€ explained Barbara. ā€œWe can actually save $119,600 a year because thatā€™s what weā€™re paying our auditors to check out the agentsā€™ reports. So our overall administrative expenses would be less.ā€

Ā 

ā€œPull all of these numbers together and weā€™ll show them to the executive committee tomorrow,ā€ said Karl. ā€œWith the approval of the committee, we can move on the matter immediately.ā€

Ā 

Required:

1. Compute Pittman Companyā€™s break-even point in dollar sales for next year assuming:

a. The agentsā€™ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

b. The agentsā€™ commission rate is increased to 20%.

c. The company employs its own sales force.


2. Assume that Pittman Company decides to continue selling through agents and pays the 20% commission rate. Determine the dollar sales that would be required to generate the same net income as contained in the budgeted income statement for next year.

Ā 

3. Determine the dollar sales at which net income would be equal regardless of whether Pittman Company sells through agents (at a 20% commission rate) or employs its own sales force.

Ā 

4. Compute the degree of operating leverage that the company would expect to haveĀ at the end of next yearĀ assuming:

a. The agentsā€™ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

b. The agentsā€™ commission rate is increased to 20%.

c. The company employs its own sales force.

Use incomeĀ beforeĀ income taxes in your operating leverage computation.

Answer:1. Break-even point in dollar sales: a. Assuming the agents' commission...
