Answer:

19.2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming it is a straight proportion, then the givens are

w1 = 150 pounds

m1 = 24 grams

w2 = 120 pounds

m2 = x

m = medication amount.

w = weight

Equation

m1/w1 = m2/w2

Solution

24/150 = x / 120                  Multiply both sides by 120

24 * 120/150 = x 120 /120  

2880/150 = x                       Do the division

19.2 grams = x                      The amount the 120 pound woman should receive.

The annual breakeven point is $550157

Given that the Sales price is $ 31.00, Per-unit variable costs: Invoice cost is 17.05, Sales commissions is 4.05, Total per-unit variable costs is $ 21.10, Total annual fixed costs: Advertising is $ 23,100, Rent is 28,200, Salaries is 124,200 and Total fixed costs is $ 175,500.

The break-even point is your total fixed cost divided by the difference between the unit price and the variable cost per unit.

The sales price is $31 and the total variable cost is $21.10.

Now, we will find the Contribution margin by subtracting the Total variable cost from the sales price, we get

Contribution margin= Sales price-Total sales price

Contribution margin=31-21.10

Contribution margin=9.9

Further, we will find the contribution margin ratio by dividing the contribution margin by Sales price, we get

contribution margin ratio=contribution margin/Sales price

contribution margin ratio=9.9/31

contribution margin ratio=0.319

contribution margin ratio=31.9%

Furthermore, we will find the break-even point, we get

Break-even point=Fixed cost/contribution margin

Break-even point=175500/9.9

Break-even point=17727.27

Now, we will find the break-even sales in dollars, we get

Break-even sales=Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio

Break-even sales=(175500/31.9)×100

Break-even sales=550157

Hence, the annual breakeven point in unit sales is calculated to be $550157.

Which equation would you use to find the value of y?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c)  y=(1/2)(360−152) because you subtract the arc measure from 360° and then multiply by one-half.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle y is half the measure of the intercepted arc. That arc is the difference between 360° and 152°. So, y is ...

  y = 1/2(360° -152°)
