His new employer has offered Malcom Davis a choice of profit-sharing plans. For Plan A, he can receive 1/90 of the company’s gross income. For Plan B, he can receive 1/60 of the company’s profit. Gross income is the total amount the company takes in. Profit is the difference of the gross income and expenses. The company’s expenses for one month are $100,000. A) Write an equation for finding the gross income that would give Malcom Davis the same amount of money with either plan.

B) Solve the equation from Exercise A and interpret the solution.

C) How much would Malcom Davis receive when the two plans are the same?

Malcom Davis earnings is an illustration of equations and proportions.

The equation is: $\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}$ The gross income must be $300000, for Dave to earn the same amount with either plan.His earning is $3333.33 when the plans are the same.

Let the profit be P, and the gross income be G.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{P= G - 100000}$

(a) The equations

For plan A, we have:

$\mathbf{A = \frac{1}{90}G}$ ----1/90 of the company's gross income

For plan B, we have:

$\mathbf{B = \frac{1}{60}P}$ ----1/90 of the company's profit

When both are the same, we have:

$\mathbf{A= B}$

This gives

$\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}P}$

Substitute $\mathbf{P= G - 100000}$

$\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}$

Hence, the equation is: $\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}$

(b) Solve the equation in (a), and intepret

$\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}$

Cross multiply

$\mathbf{60G = 90G - 9000 000}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{90G - 60G = 9000 000}$

$\mathbf{30G = 9000 000}$

Divide both sides by 30

$\mathbf{G = 3000 00}$

The gross income must be $300000, for Dave to earn the same amount with either plan.

We have:

$\mathbf{A = \frac{1}{90}G}$

Substitute $\mathbf{G = 3000 00}$

$\mathbf{A = \frac{1}{90} \times 300000}$

$\mathbf{A = 3333.33}$

His earning is $3333.33 when the plans are the same

(d) If the gross income in less than (b)

If the gross income is less than $300,000, then plan A would better for Malcom Davis, because his earnings in plan A would be greater than plan B
