Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

1. The break even point for flowers = Fixed costs / Contribution margin

Where contribution margin = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $500,000 / ($20 - $10)

= $500,000 / $10

= 50,000 units

Therefore,

Break even point for the Mugger is 50,000 units.

Break even points for Dogs = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin

= $500,000 / ($25 -$20)

= $500,000 / $5

= 100,000 units

Break even points Sports = Fixed costs / Contribution margin

= $500,000 / ($10 - $6)

= $500,000 / $4

= 125,000 units

2. I can recommend that the mugger should change its product mix from 1:4:2 (Flowers, dogs, sports) to 4:2:1 (Flowers , dogs , sports)

• Because there is an increase in the break even points for each of the mugger.

Janelle Heinke, the owner of Ha'Peppas!, is considering a new oven in which to bake the firm's signature dish, vegetarian pizza.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) Oven A = 1,667; Oven B = 2,353 pizzas.

b) Oven A

c) Oven A

d) 13,334 pizzas

Explanation:

Since nothing was mentioned regarding her time availability, the capacity of each oven will not be taken into account.

The income equation for ovens A and B, respectively, are:

$A=(14-2)x-20,000\\B=(14-1.25)x-30,000$

Where 'x' is the number of pizzas sold.

a) The break-even occurs when income is zero:

$A=0=(14-2)x-20,000\\x_A=1,666.66\\B=(14-1.25)x-30,000\\x_B=2,352.94$

Rounding up to the next whole pizza, the break-even for oven A is 1,667 pizzas and for oven B it is 2,353 pizzas.

b) For x = 9,000:

$A=(14-2)*9,000-20,000\\A=\$88,000\\B=(14-1.25)*9,000-30,000\\B=\$84,750$

Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.

c) For x = 12,000

$A=(14-2)*12,000-20,000\\A=\$124,000\\B=(14-1.25)*12,000-30,000\\B=\$123,000$

Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.

d) She should switch ovens at the value for 'x' that causes B to be greater than A:

$A$

Rounding up to the next whole pizza, she should switch ovens at a volume of 13,334 pizzas.

garri49 [273]

Answer: Matched pairs design

Explanation:

A matched pairs design is a type of study used when 2 treaments are present in an experiment. The individuals in the design can be divided into pairs using a blocking variable, and each pair can then be allocated to treatments at random. This is thus a special type of randomized block design.

In this case the blocking variable can be the various urban areas as 1968 is matched against 1972. Each city can be compared based on 2 measurements. From their each individual can be grouped into pairs and allocated to different treatments.

Pie

Answer:

The correct asnwer is $-214 billion.

Explanation:

A surplus occurs when an account exceeds the credit after having paid all its debts and obligations.

As the example says, assuming that China’s net debt forgiveness was zero in 2012, then the net balance of China's financial account balance would be -214 billion.

This means that China would be facing a deficit.

A defit means that more money comes out of our company's account than it enters.

Which causes China to have a<u> negative balance account.</u>
