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

Is a 39 Celsius body temperature higher than normal 98 Fahrenheit??<br><br> Yes or No
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to medical science, a body temperature considered normal (that is, below fever) in degrees Fahrenheit is 98ºF, while its equivalent in degrees Celsius is 36.6ºC. Therefore, a body temperature of 39ºC is higher than 98ºF, being equivalent to 102.2ºF.

This is verified by applying the conversion formula from Celcius to Fahrenheit:

(39 x 9/5) + 32 = X

39 x 1.8 + 32 = X

70.2 + 32 = X

102.2 = X
