Answer:
e. The relationship always results in a negative profit
b. The relationship is non-linear
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question above it could be found that, the relationship always result in negative profit. This is because:
To the school purchase,
Selling price of Candy bars in a box = $20.00
On the other hand,
Each Candy bar cost = $2.00
No of Candy bars in a box = 15
Total cost = $2.00 x 15 = $30.00
Loss (negative profit) = Total cost - Selling price
= $30.00 - $20.00 = $10.00
This also shows that, the relationship is non-linear because there is no direct relationship between the selling price and the expected profit that was supposed to have been earned.
