Answer:

10,000 books

Explanation:

Knowns:

Fixed Costs: $50,000

Variable Costs: $4 (price marketing company charges per book sold)

Sale price: $9 per book

We can solve break even (BE) by using the following formula:

BE = (Fixed Cost) / (Sale price-Variable costs)

BE = ($50,000) / (($9-$4)

BE = $50,000 / $5

BE = 10,000 units

I hope this helps!

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: E.53

Explanation:

From the above information, the formula for due date is given below.

DUE DATE = Expected Completion Time + (Z * Standard Deviation)

A confidence level refers to the percentage of all possible samples that can be expected to contain the true population parameter. It is computed according to a random sample from the population and most times always associated with a certain confidence level that is a probability, usually presented as a percentage. The 90% says that 90% will include the true mean but 10% won't.

A Z-score is referred to as a numerical measurement that is made use of in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (that is average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations away from the mean.

Expected time = 40

Confidence interval = 90 = Z VALUE of 1.282

Standard Deviation= 10

DUE DATE = 40 + (1.282 * 10) = 53days

= 40+ 12.82

=52.82

Approximately 53

Therefore,the time in days is 53 days.

Anastaziya [24]

In comparing money to a share of Microsoft stock held by an individual, we can say, only the money is a means of payment, but both are stores of value.

In order to serve as a medium of exchange, money is very widely accepted as a method of payment. When comparing money to a share of Microsoft stock which is held by an individual, it can be said that money is a means of payment, but here the stock and money both are stores of value.

As a store of value, money is not unique as there are many other stores of value exist, such as stocks, land, works of art etc. Money may not even be the best store of value because it depreciates with inflation.

Hence, money is a means of payment, but together with money, stocks can also be stores of value.
