Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing the side length by 5 is represented as s + 5. To get the area of a square we multiply side times side: (s+5)^2=s^2+10s+25

The area of a square is s². If we are increasing this area s² by 895, then to represent this we have s² + 895.

Put that together into an equation:

s^2+10s+25=s^2+895 and simplify to

10s = 870 so

s = 87

Let's check that. The area before the addition to the side is 87*87 = 7569; the area after the addition of 5 cm is 92*92 = 8464. The difference is

8464 - 7569 = 895 so we did good!

If fixed costs are $561,000 and the unit contribution margin is $8.00, what is the break-even point in units if variable costs a
olga nikolaevna [1]
The break even point is the point where in the total cost and the total revenue of the business are of the same value which means there is no profit or no loss. It is would be the minimum point that a business to reach in order to be able to recover the costs without any loss. At this point selling cost is equal to the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost. To determine the break even point in units, we do as follows:

SC = FC + VC
Px = FC + Vx
where x is the number of units, P is the price per unit and V is the variable cost per unit.

x = FC / P - V
x = 561000 / (8.00 - 0.50)
x = 74800 units
