Answer:

in units: 18,900

in dollars: $ 41,013

Step-by-step explanation:

The break even point is the sales dollar amount or sales in unit at whichthe operating income of the firm equals to zero:\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units }

Where:

\frac{Contribution \: Margin}{Sales \: Revenue} = Contribution \: Margin \: Ratio

<em><u>Contribution margin:</u></em>

2.17 - 1.27 = 1 dollar per unit

Break even:

$18,900 fixed cost /  $1 per unit = 18,900 units

Then, in sales:

18,900 x $2.17 each = 41.013‬

Answer: Pete's corporation would break even when they sell 21000 bags of peanuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bags of peanuts that Pete corporation would produce and sell to break even.

The fixed cost of production is $18,900 while the unit cost of producing a bag of peanut is $1.27. This means that the total cost of producing x bags of peanuts would be

1.27x + 18900

Each bag sells for $2.17. This means that the total revenue selling from x bags of peanuts would be

2.17x

At the point of break even, total cost of production = total revenue. Therefore,

1.27x + 18900 = 2.17x

2.17x - 1.27x = 18900

0.9x = 18900

x = 18900/0.9

x = 21000

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

97.9% ; 12.4% ; 771

Step-by-step explanation:

The approximate percentage who have more Than 469 calories :

P(x > 469)

Mean, m = 1060

Standard deviation, s = 291

Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Z = (469 - 1060) / 291

Z = −2.030927

P(Z > - 2.031) = 1 - P(Z < - 2.031)

P(Z > - 2.031) = 1 - 0.0211

P(Z > - 2.031) = 0.9788 = 97.9%

b. What is the approximate percentage of Chipotle meals with calorie amounts between 1372 calories and 1673 calories?

[(1673 - 1060) / 291] - [(1372 - 1060) / 291]

P(Z <2.106) - P(Z < 1.072)

0.9824 - 0.85814

= 0.12426 = 12.4%

c. If a particular meal's calorie amount is equal to the 16th percentile of Chipotle meal calorie amounts, how many calories are in the meal

The Zscore at 16 percentile = -0.994

Zscore = (score - mean) / standard deviation

-0.994 * 291 = score - 1060

−289.254 = score - 1060

Score = −289.254 + 1060

Score = 770.746

Approximately 771
