The cruise boat can carry up to 45 passengers. The company wants to know the minimum number of passengers needed per cruise to c

over its costs. This number is called the break-even point. A formula for calculating the break-even point is: Break-even point = (fixed costs) ÷ (income per passenger – costs per passenger) The company collects the following data:
Fixed cost (per cruise)
CREW SALARY $350
FUEL $120
OVERHEADS $170

Varible costs( per passenger)
REFRESHMENTS $6.50
REFUND $3.64

SALES INCOME (PER PASSENGER)
AVERAGE TICKET INCOME $36.40

Based on this data, what is the minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit?

Fixed costs:
$350 + $120 + $170 = $640
Variable costs:
x * ( $6.50 + $3.64 ) = x * 10.14
Sales income ( total ):
x * $36.40
FC + FV - Income = 0
640 + 10.14 x - 36.40 x = 0
640 - 26.26 x = 0
26.26 x = 640
x = 640 : 26.26 = 24.37
Answer:
The minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit is 25.

1. Explain how measurements taken by standard rulers and scales are limited,
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

RULER

measurements taken by ruler can be limited due to absolute errors, zero error and uncertainties.

1.) If the end of the ruler is worn out giving rise to a zero error

2.) The calibration of the ruler may give rise to another systematic error if the makings are incorrect.

3.) If the object to be measured is not on the same level as graduated surface of the ruler, the angle at which the scale is viewed will affect the result. This is known as parallax error.

SCALE

Systematic error can occur in a scale when the scale is wrongly calibrated.

Also, reading a scale from different angles introduces a variable parallax error.

random uncertainty could be a parallax error caused by taking readings from different angles. This can be reduced by the use of a mirror behind the scale and viewing normally.
