Answer:

The distance to the earth's horizon from point P is 216.2198187 mi, appriximately 216.22 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle:

Hypotenuse: c=3959 mi + 5.9 mi → c=3964.9 mi

Leg 1: a=x=?

Leg 2: b=3959 mi

Using the Pytagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Replacing the known values:

(x)^2+(3959 mi)^2=(3964.9 mi)^2

Solving for x: Squaring:

x^2+15,673,681 mi^2=15,720,432.01 mi^2

Subtracting 15,673,681 mi^2 both sides of the equation:

x^2+15,673,681 mi^2-15,673,681 mi^2=15,720,432.01 mi^2-15,673,681 mi^2

x^2=46,751.01 mi^2

Square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(46,751.01 mi^2)

x=216.2198187 mi

x=216.22 mi

Income Statements under Absorption Costing and Variable Costing
kotykmax [81]

The estimated income statement for the month shows a loss of $840000.

<h3>How to illustrate the income statement?</h3>

The estimated income statement for the month will be:

Sales = $25,600,000

Less: Cost of goods sold

Direct materials (320000 × 15) = $4,800,000

Direct labor (320000 × 17) = $5,440,000

Variable costing (320000 × 15) = $11,200,000

Fixed manufacturing cost = $1,530,000

Total cost of goods sold = $22970000

Gross profit = $25,600,000 - $22970000 = $2,630,000

Gross profit = $2,630,000

Less:

Variable selling and administrative expense = $3200000

Fixed selling and administrative = $270000

Loss from operations = $840000

Therefore, the estimated income statement for the month shows a loss of $840000.
