The formula in computing the break-even point is:

Break-even = fixed cost / contribution margin

The fixed cost is already given which is $1700 per month. To compute for the contribution margin, you have to deduct the average cost per month ($75) to the selling price of each bicycle ($95). The contribution margin is $20 ($95 - $75).

Substituting the amounts to the formula:

Break-even = $1,700/$20

                     = 85

Therefore, the store must sell 85 bicycles each month to break even.

Find the flaw with the following "proof" that every postage of 3 cents or more can be formed using just 3-cent and 4-cent stamps
Reika [66]

Answer:

The main flaw of this  proof is that it did not take into consideration the fact a 4 cent postage must be made with a 4 cent stamp  and a 3 cent postage  must be made with a 3 cent stamp but only looked at allocating the stamps based on the total amount of postage

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  proof is

Every postage stamp of three cents or more can be formed using just 3 cent and 4 cent stamps.  

 Basic Step : We can form postage of 3 cents with a single 3 cent stamp and we can form postage of 4 cents using a single four cents tamp

Inductive Step: Assume that we can form postage of j cents for all non negative integers j with j <= k using just 3 cent and 4-cent stamps. We can then form postage of k+1 cents by replacing one 3 cent stamp with a 4-cent or two 4-cent stamps with three 3-cent stamps

  FLAW IDENTIFICATION

Looking the inductive step, the statement ''by replacing one 3 cent stamp with a 4-cent or two 4-cent stamps with three 3-cent stamps '' means that it is possible to use a 3-cent stamp for postage that requires a 4 -cent stamp  and this is not correct according the statement in the basic step

Generally the main flaw of this  proof is that it did not take into  consideration the fact a 4 cent postage must be made with a 4 cent stamp  and a 3 cent postage  must be made with a 3 cent stamp but only looked at allocating the stamps based on the total amount of postage

He base of a pentagonal prism has an area of 2.4 m2. The prism has a volume of 4.8 m3. What is its height? Use sketches, formula
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The height of the prism is 2m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The volume of pentagonal prism, V = 4.8 m^3

Area of the prism, A = 2.4 m^2

To determine the height of the prism, we consider the following;

Volume of any prism = Area of the prism x height of the prism

Height of the prism = volume of the prism / Area of the prism

Height of the prism = 4.8 / 2.4

Height of the prism = 2 m

Therefore, the height of the prism is 2m

In the X Y -plane, Line crosses the Y - axis at the point (0,3) and passes through the point ( 4,5). Which of the following is a
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: y = 1/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation y=mx +b

Find the slope (m) of the line by finding the difference in y over the difference in x. Or "rise over run".

The y-intercept (b) is 3 (when x is zero, it is y).

The ratio of height of a bonsai ficus tree to the height of a full-size ficus trees is 1:9 the bonsai ficus is 6 inches tall wha
kotykmax [81]
To solve this relationship simply make them equal to each other and find the correct value to multiply both the top and cotton numbers and solve,
In this case because of the initial ratio of 1:9, if the bonsai ficus is 6 then 54 inches would be the full size.
