Answer:

we recommnend to buy this bracket

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given tyhat

Buying cost of the machine = $33,000 = x

x_1 = $0.67

And, x_2 = $0.41

Now the break even point is

X = x ÷ (x_1 - x_2)

= $33,000 ÷ ($0.67 - $0.41)

= 126,923 units

Therefore

Probability  (Demand > Break even point)

= 1 - \phi ($126,923 - 100,000) ÷ 10,000

= 1 - \phi (2.69)

= 0.36%

where

\phi = function of cumulative distribution of N (0,1)

Therefore the probability is that it makes economically the items would be lesser

Thus, we recommnend to buy this bracket
