jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $275,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

sales $200,000

variable costs $120,000

fixed costs $60,000

desired profit= $50,000

<u>To calculate the sales required to achieve the desired profit, we need to use the break-even point in dollars formula:</u>

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= (60,000 + 50,000) / [(200,000 - 120,000)/200,000]

Break-even point (dollars)= 110,000 / 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= $275,000

You are interested in purchasing a new car and have done some research. One of the many points you wish to consider is the resal

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (12004.26;12995.74)

Explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=12500$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=700 represent the sample standard deviation

n=17 represent the sample size

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=17-1=16$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,16)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.92$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$12500-2.92\frac{700}{\sqrt{17}}=12004.26$

$12500+2.92\frac{700}{\sqrt{17}}=12995.74$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (12004.26;12995.74)
