Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit= $48

Unitary variable cost= $6

Total fixed costs= $16,000

A)

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 16,000/ (48 - 6)

Break-even point in units= 381 units

B) Selling price= $49.95 a bedpoints

Break-even point in units= 16,000/ (49.95 - 6)

Break-even point in units= 364 units

C) Unitary variable cost= 6 - 3= 3

Break-even point in units= 16,000 / (48 - 3)

Break-even point in units= 356 units

D) Matresses= 1

Beds= 1

Proportions of sales:

Matreses= 0.5

Beds= 0.5

Selling price per matress= $9

Unitary variable cost= $5

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (0.5*9 + 0.5*48) - (0.5*5 + 0.5*6)

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= $23

Break-even point (units)= 16,000/23

Break-even point (units)= 696 units

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good. It is used to measure inflation. Because the price of price of used cars and trucks in US has increased , the CPI would increase

CPI = (cost of basket of goods in current period / cost of basket of goods in base period) x 100

Changes in the quality of good is not included in the calculation of CPI. This is one of its drawbacks

Alternative A would involve substantial fixed but relatively low variable costs: fixed costs would be $250,000 per year, and var
stepladder [879]

Answer:

From zero to 33 boats option B would be best

Explanation:

Assuming the first alternative (A)is 250,000 fixed and 500 per boat

second (B) 2,500 cost per boat

and third (C) 50,000 fixed and 1,000 cost per boat

We want' to know at which level B would be the best option

we want to know when alternative C or A have a cost of 2,500 or lower:

A:

500 + \frac{250,000}{Q} = 2,500

\frac{250,000}{2,500 - 500} = Q

Q = 125

From this point, as fixed cost will be distribute among more units, the cost will decrease meaking C better than B

C:

1,000 + \frac{50,000}{Q} = 2,500

\frac{50,000}{2,500 - 1,000} = Q

Q = 33.33

From this point, as fixed cost will be distribute among more units, the cost will decrease meaking A better than B

From zero to 33 boats option B would be the best of the three options

Finger [1]

Answer: According to complete question "more than two-thirds of children will score between 85 and 115".

Explanation:

The solution to this issue is it, even though the Wechsler Ratios of Intellect scores are "standardized" to an average of 100 and a margin of error of 15 based on the standardized system used only to start scoring IQ.

So between 85 and 115 will be 68 that for each cent of the results.

Therefore the result stand between 85-115.
