Eileen Shepherd · Answer 1

The net profit of the company in this case is given by the subtraction of the income minus the costs.

We have then:

b (t) = r (t) - c (t)

b (t) = 15 * e ^ (0.19 * t) - 12 * e ^ ( - 0.03 * t).

We must determine the number of years.

from january 1st in the year 2000 until january 1st in the year 2007:

t = 2007-2000 = 7.

We have then evaluating t = 7 in the function:

b (7) = 15 * e ^ (0.19 * 7) - 12 * e ^ ( - 0.03 * 7).

b (7) = 46.99 millions of dollars

answer:

the net profit was 46.99 millions of dollars
