Parker is in the business of manufacturing phones. He must pay a daily fixed cost to rent the building and equipment, and also pays a cost per phone produced for materials and labor. The equation C=175p+400 can be used to determine the total cost, in dollars, of producing pp phones in a given day. What is the y-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

  400; building and equipment fixed cost

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost equation has two terms. The constant term (400) is the daily fixed cost of building and equipment. The variable term (175p) represents the cost of producing p phones.

The y-intercept is 400. It is the daily fixed cost of the building and equipment.

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
