you should prepare 180 pounds of the deluxe mix and 75 pounds of the economy mix

Explanation:

maximize 7d + 4.7e

constraints

0.5d + ¹/₃e ≤ 115

0.5d + ²/₃e ≤ 140

d ≥ 0

e ≥ 0

d and e are integers

using solver, the maximum profit is 180d + 75e, and the maximum profit is $1,612.50

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

$2,553,191

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break even point in dollars amount is presented below:

= (Fixed cost ) ÷ (Profit volume ratio)

where,  

Fixed cost = $300,000

And the profit volume ratio would be

= (Contribution margin) ÷ (Sales) × 100

We assume the sales be 100%

So, the variable cost is

= 88.25%

And, the contribution margin is

= 100 - 88.25

= 11.75%

So, the break even sales would be

= $300,000 ÷  11.75%

= $2,553,191
