Answer:

-$2.4

Explanation:

Costs of lottery ticket $10 per ticket.

100 tickets available to be sold

One $430 prize

two $105 prizes

four $30 prizes

100 available tickets -7 prizes= 93

P(430) = 1/100

P(105) = 2/100

P(30) = 4/100

P(-10) = 93/100

-10(93/100) + 30-10 (4/100) + 105-10 (2/100) + 430-10 (1/100)

= -10(93/100) + 20(4/100) + 95(2/100) + 420(1/100)

= -9.3 + 0.8 + 1.9 + 4.2 = -2.4

Therefore the expected loss will be $2.4

Break-even point (in units) = Direct fixed cost/contribution margin per unit

Regular model = 20,000 units ($1,200,000/$60)

Deluxe model = 3,529 units ($960,000/$272)

2. The Alo Company's Sales revenue to break-even, company-wide, is computed as follows:

<u>Sales Revenue at break-even point:</u>

= Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio
