Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Adams Company produces a product that sells for $33 per unit and has a variable cost of $13 per unit. Adams incurs annual fixed costs of $120,000.

To calculate the break-even point both in dollars and units, we need to use the following formulas:

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

Break-even point in units= 120,000/ (33 - 13)

Break-even point in units= 6,000 units

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

Break-even point (dollars)= 120,000/ (20/33)

Break-even point (dollars)= $198,000

Now, for fixed costs= 192,000

Break-even point in units= 192,000/ (33 - 13)= 9,600 units

Break-even point (dollars)= 192,000/ (20/33)= $316,800

Brut [27]

Answer:

b. the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

Poaching can be defined as an illegal or illegitimate procurement (purchase) of protected wildlife living organisms such as elephants, fish, trees, gaming, etc.

In an attempt to reduce poaching of elephant tusks for ivory, officials in Kenya burned illegally gathered ivory. Economists tend to point out that the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching in accordance with the law of supply.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

The histogram

Required

The class width

The question is poorly formatted, as the histogram cannot be read. So, I will answer your question with the attached histogram

The class width is:

$Width = Upper - Lower\ Limits$

Using the first class, as reference:

$Lower\ Limits = 1$

$Upper\ Limits = 4$

So, the class width is:

$Width = 4 -1$

$Width = 3$
