For a certain credit card, given a starting balance of p and an ending balance of a, the function below gives the number of months n that have passed, assuming that no payments or additional purchases occurred during that time. suppose you started with a debt of $1000 and now owe $1210.26. the debt has been building for months. round to the nearest whole month. (hint: first simplify the numerator by hand, using the properties of logarithms. then use a calculator to evaluate the numerator divided by the denominator to find the value of n.) n= log a- log p over log (1.0175)

Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.
