Answer:

e. The relationship always results in a negative profit

b. The relationship is non-linear

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.
