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.

Barbara Cheney, Pittman’s controller, has just prepared the company’s budgeted income statement for next year as follows:
 

*Primarily depreciation on storage facilities.

As Barbara handed the statement to Karl Vecci, Pittman’s president, she commented, “I went ahead and used the agents’ 15% commission rate in completing these statements, but we’ve just learned that they refuse to handle our products next year unless we increase the commission rate to 20%.”

“That’s the last straw,” Karl replied angrily. “Those agents have been demanding more and more, and this time they’ve gone too far. How can they possibly defend a 20% commission rate?”

“They claim that after paying for advertising, travel, and the other costs of promotion, there’s nothing left over for profit,” replied Barbara.

“I say it’s just plain robbery,” retorted Karl. “And I also say it’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?”

“We’ve already worked them up,” said Barbara. “Several 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% × $26,000,000) that we would avoid on agents’ commissions.”

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

“Super,” replied Karl. “And I noticed that the $3,900,000 equals what we’re paying the agents under the old 15% commission rate.”

“It’s even better than that,” explained Barbara. “We can actually save $119,600 a year because that’s what we’re paying our auditors to check out the agents’ reports. So our overall administrative expenses would be less.”

“Pull all of these numbers together and we’ll show them to the executive committee tomorrow,” said Karl. “With the approval of the committee, we can move on the matter immediately.”

Required:

1. Compute Pittman Company’s break-even point in dollar sales for next year assuming:

a. The agents’ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

b. The agents’ 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.

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.

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

a. The agents’ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

b. The agents’ commission rate is increased to 20%.

c. The company employs its own sales force.

Use income before income taxes in your operating leverage computation.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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

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.

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

10. Explain where to place the beam.

Electronic Lab Notebook Module 4: Isolate unique colonies to test for antibiotic production.

Name:

Date:

Questions (Refer to Section 5 in your Research Guide for help):

What criteria will you use to pick unique colonies from your plate? To pick unique colonies from the plate, we will look for colonies that have distinct morphological characteristics such as size,shape,color, and texture.

Assuming you cannot test ALL of your bacterial isolates for antibiotic production, how will you prioritize the isolates you choose to study in order to increase the likelihood of obtaining an antibiotic producer? In order to increase the likelihood of obtaining an antibiotic producer, we will prioritize the isolates based on their proximity to antibiotic producing organisms of inhibition on the plate. We will also consider isolates that show promising characteristics such as rapid growth or unique colony morphology.

What are the qualities of the isolates you have picked for further studying? The isolates that we have picked for further studying possess desirable qualities such as unique colony morphology , proximity to antibiotic producing organisms, and potential zones of inhibition. These isolates show promise for antibiotic production and will be further tested and analyzed.

below i will give some details and help me to draw an isoprofit curve. Thanks

Label the x-axis as "Quantity of Bedaquiline."
Label the y-axis as "Price of Bedaquiline."
Draw a downward-sloping isoprofit curve that starts at a profit-maximizing price of $46.
Now, let's explain what this diagram represents:

Profit (Producer Surplus):

Mark the point on the isoprofit curve where the price is $46. This is the initial profit-maximizing price for J&J.

Calculate the area above the supply curve and below the price of $46 up to the quantity produced. This area represents J&J's producer surplus at the original price of $46.

Markup:
3. Calculate the difference between the price ($46) and the cost of production ($5). This difference, $41, represents the markup that J&J was earning per unit of bedaquiline sold at the original price.

Consumer Surplus:
4. Now, mark the point on the isoprofit curve where the price is reduced to $8.

Calculate the area above the supply curve and below the price of $8 up to the quantity produced at this new price. This area represents the consumer surplus gained by consumers due to the price reduction.

Subtract the original consumer surplus (before the price reduction) from the new consumer surplus (after the price reduction). The difference between the two represents the change in consumer surplus.

Output:
7. The quantity of bedaquiline produced at the new price of $8 is determined by the intersection of the demand curve (you can assume a straight-line demand curve) and the new price level.

Now, let's explain the economic implications of this diagram:

Profit (Producer Surplus): J&J's producer surplus decreases as a result of the price reduction. This is because they are now selling the product at a lower price, and their profit per unit sold has decreased.

Markup: The markup, which was initially $41 per unit, has decreased significantly due to the price reduction.

Consumer Surplus: Consumer surplus has increased as a result of the price reduction. Consumers are now able to purchase bedaquiline at a lower price, leading to a larger consumer surplus.

Output: The quantity of bedaquiline produced has likely increased due to the lower price, making it more affordable for consumers, which also contributes to the increase in consumer surplus.

In summary, J&J's decision to reduce the price of bedaquiline from $46 to $8 per month has led to a decrease in producer surplus (profit), a significant decrease in markup, an increase in consumer surplus, and a likely increase in the quantity of bedaquiline produced. This decision reflects a trade-off between lower profits for the company and increased access and affordability for consumers, especially in the context of healthcare and drug pricing.
