a.
This budget can be modified by increasing the amount spent on food and utilities and decreasing the amount spent on clothes and rent, thereby maintaining a positive actual net income.
b.
This budget can be modified by reducing the amount spent on rent and utilities, thereby reducing overall expenses to have the maximum amount of money for all other expenses.
c.
This budget can be modified by reducing the amount spent on food and clothes, thereby reducing overall expenses to have the maximum amount of money for fixed expenses and maintaining a positive actual net income.
d.
This budget cannot be modified.

To give a positive actual net income, the budget can be modified by reducing the amount spent on food and clothes, thereby reducing overall expenses to have the maximum amount of money for fixed expenses.

Option C is correct.

In accounting, the actual net income is defined as an entity's income minus the costs of expenses on goods sold, depreciation, amortization, interest, and taxes.

To determine actual net income, start with gross income, which is the whole amount of money earned, and then deduct costs like taxes and interest payments.

To give a positive actual net income, the budget can be modified by reducing the amount spent on food and clothes, thereby reducing overall expenses to have the maximum amount of money for fixed expenses.

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
