Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But before that we need to do the following calculations which are shown below:

The Contribution per unit of faucet is

= $75 - $15

= $60

And, the Contribution per unit of pitcher filter is

= $100 - $30

= $70

Now Contribution per unit in present sales mix is

= [($60 × 2) + ($70 × 3)] ÷ 5

= ($120 + $210) ÷ 5

= $66 per unit

And

The Fixed cost is

= $1,000,000 + $200,000

= $1,200,000

Now  

Break even units is

= $1,200,000 ÷ $66 per unit

= 18,181.81 units

For faucet, it is

= (18,181.81 × 2) ÷ 5

=  7,272.72 units

For pitcher filter, it is

= (18,181.81 × 3) ÷ 5

= 10,909.086 units

Answer: $1,000

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Therefore, the opportunity cost for operating a homeless shelter is the amount that is received by renting the space of shelter for wedding parties.

Opportunity cost = Average wedding parties per month × Rent per party

                            = 5 × $200

                            = $1,000

PLZ I NEED HELP FAST!!!! BRAINLIST
Marina86 [1]

For Riley to become what she wants to be, she will first have to understand her natural limits, and learn what she has to do to achieve the best for herself. Once she has gotten used to the restraint on what she can do, she needs to focus on trying to learn everything she can about planes, flying, physics, aerodynamics, and possibly take an online air force ROTC course where she can learn to make planes the most durable and powerful as possible. Once she has the knowledge on how to handle her disabilties, and once she has the knowledge of everything she needs to know, then she needs to find the space to build a plane, and maybe some crew members to help her... Then maybe she will finally have those dreams she has been wanting for forever.
