Let
x = minutes used for jogging
y = minutes used for handball
z = minutes used for cycling

Th total time spent is 1 hour (60 minutes), therefore
x + y + z = 60

Because Mike jogs as long as he cycles, therefore
x = z
Therefore
2x + y = 60
or
y = 60 - 2x                 (1)

Jogging consumes 10 calories/min, handball consumes 9 calories/min and cycling consumes 12 calories/min.
The calories consumed in 60 minutes is 580, therefore
10 x + 9y + 12z = 580
Because x = z,
22x + 9y = 580          (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
22x + 9(60 - 2x) = 580
22x + 540 - 18x = 580
4x = 40
x = 10
y = 60 - 2x = 40
z = x = 10

Answer:
10 minutes of jogging
40 minutes of handball
10 minutes of cycling.

Bramble Corp. has a weighted-average unit contribution margin of $30 for its two products, Standard and Supreme. Expected sales
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

160,000 units

Explanation:

Step 1 : Determine the Sales Mix

Bramble : Standard

60000 : 40000

3 : 2

Step 2 : Determine the Overall Break even Point

Break even Point = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                             = $2400000 ÷ $30

                             = 80,000

Step 3 : Determine break-even point for Standards

Standards Break even point = 80,000 x 2

                                               = 160,000 units

Thus,

Bramble Corp would sell 160,000 units of Standards at the break-even point
