julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

- BEP in unit: 4,000 units;

- In case fixed cost increases by 10%, New BEP in unit: 4,400 units.

- Net income: 1,000,000p.

- BEP in units if sale price to decrease : 8,000 units => Price change should not take place as it moves the company from making 1 million peso profit to a loss as sales in units (1,200 + 5,000 =6,200) is lower than break-even point ( 8,000 units).

Explanation:

Please find detailed calculations as below:

- BEP in unit is calculated as Fixed cost/ Margin earned by one product = 4,000,000/(3,000 - 2,000) = 4,000.

- New BEP in unit is calculated as New Fixed cost/ Margin earned by one product = (4,000,000 x 1.1)/(3,000 - 2,000) = 4,400.

- Net income: Sales - fixed cost - variable cost = 3,000 x 5,000 - 4,000,000 - 2,000 x 5,000 = 1,000,000 p

- BEP in units if sale price to decrease: Fixed cost/ Margin earned by one product = 4,000,000/(2,500 - 2,000) = 8,000.

Audreys free-throw percentage so far this season is .875. If she makes only 13 of her next 20 free throws, her percentage will d

otez555 [7]

Answer:

245 free throws

Explanation:

x will be number of times Audreys makes a shot, and let y be total number of the shots.

x/y = .875

(x+13)/(y+20) = .860

Let solve for x in equation 1

x = .875y

We will plug the for x in the equation 2

(.875y+13)/(y+20)

= .860

.875y + 13

= .860y + 17.2

.015y = 4.2

y = 280

Audreys has taken 280 shots.

We will Plug that back into the equation 1 in order to find out how many Audreys made.

x/280 = .875

x = 245

Hence :

Audreys made 245 free throws
