1,207,141

Answer 1

Cake demand next year=1,267,498 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=I+G

where;

Y=cake demand next year

I=initial demand

G=growth demand

Meaning;

Cake demand next year=Initial demand+growth demand

where;

Initial demand=1,207,141 units

growth demand=5% of initial demand

growth demand=(5/100)×1,207,141=60,357.05 units

replacing;

Cake demand next year=1,207,141+60,357.05=1,267,498.05

Cake demand next year=1,267,498.05 units rounded off to the nearest unit=1,267,498 units
