Answer:

25%

Explanation:

the margin of safety is the percent of sales which the company is above the break even point.

We solve for the break even point:

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

\frac{36,000}{0.24} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

BEP  = 150,000

We solve for the margin of safety:

$ 200,000 - $ 150,000 = $ 50,000

Now we compare against our sales:

$ 50,000 / $ 200,000 = 0.25

How were the earliest benefits of the Industrial Revolution distributed between factory owners and workers?
qaws [65]
The answer is <span>Factory owners benefited greatly, while conditions for workers were poor.

During the Industrial Revolution, capitalists were focused on getting more profit. They actually have poor management with worker benefits. Workers work long hours and receive insufficient pay for all their work. Their condition moved them to form Unions and held strikes for decent salary and benefits.

Answer:

n = 160

p = 0.12

Explanation:

In a Binomial distribution two parameters are of great interest, n and p.

where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success and (1 - p) is the probability of failure.

p = 12%

n = 160

Mean = E(X) = μ = n*p = 160*0.12 = 19.2

μ = 19.2

variance = σ² = np(1 - p) = 160*0.12(1 - 0.12) = 16.89

standard deviation = σ = √16.89 = 4.11

σ = 4.11

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

probability  = 0.3557

Explanation:

given data

young adults ages =  20 to 39

skip eating breakfast p = 0.238

random sample of size n = 500

to find out

we find the probability that the number of individuals in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is greater than 122

solution

we use here Normal Approximation to Binomial Distribution

so first consider random variable = x

so

x~ Bin (n,p)   .............1

and here Normal Approximation will be

x~ Normal Approx (np, npq)    .................2

so it will be

x~ (500, 0.238)  

as here we know q will be

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.238

q = 0.762    .............3

so

here x~ Normal Approx (119, 90.678)

and now we get P(X > 122)

so

We will convert it to Z by as that

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}     ................4

and here

mean  \mu = np

and standard deviation \sigma =  \sqrt{npq}

so here for P(X > 122)

P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{122-119}{\sqrt{90.678}})     ............5

and it is  P(Z>0.37)

so

probability  = 1 - P(Z<0.37)

now we use here z table for value

probability  = 1-0.6443

probability  = 0.3557

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

It will be better to keep the old car.\left[\begin{array}{cccc}$&$New&$Old&$Differential\\$purchase&-14000&&14000\\$Gasoline spending&-4292&-9479&-5187\\$repairs&&-7500&-7500\\$insurance&-4000&-2000&2000\\$Result&-22292&-18979&3313\\\end{array}\right]

Explanation:

gasoline spending:

old:

250 miles per week/ 24 miles per gallon= 10,41666666

then that x 52 weeks per year x 3.5 per gallon x 5 years

new:

250 / 53 =  4,716981

then this x 52 weeks x 3.5 per gallon x 5 years=

repairs:

1,500 x 5 years = 7,500

insurance:

800 x 5 = 4,000 new car insurance

400 x 5 = 2,000 old car insurance
