Midterm Examination

Do not cheat. If you cheat, the concept of education fails. You will never know how
much you know. You will waste more time planning to cheat than learn something. If you
score low, find out your weaknesses. If you score high, then you know what you know
and can venture to other things. Good luck!

For item nos. 7-10, please refer to the given situation:

Shipping charges are often based on a formula that offers a lower charge per
kilogram as the size of the shipment is increased. Suppose the shipping charges are as
follows: P100.00 per kilogram if the weight does not exceed 50 kilograms, P90.00 per
kilogram if the weight is more than 50 kgs. but does not exceed 200 kgs., P88.00 per
kilogram if the weight is more than 200 kgs.
