Assume the costs of a service department are driven by the number of service orders and the equation for calculating the costs of a service department is y = $5000 + $3x. The cost of the department if there were 6000 orders would be $25 000.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the cost of the department for 6000 orders, we need to substitute x=6000 in the equation:

y = 5000 + 3x
y = 5000 + 3(6000)
y = 5000 + 18000
y = 23000

Therefore, the cost of the department for 6000 orders would be $23,000, not $25,000 as given in the statement.
