The cruise boat can carry up to 45 passengers. The company wants to know the minimum number of passengers needed per cruise to c

over its costs. This number is called the break-even point. A formula for calculating the break-even point is: Break-even point = (fixed costs) ÷ (income per passenger – costs per passenger) The company collects the following data:
Fixed cost (per cruise)
CREW SALARY $350
FUEL $120
OVERHEADS $170

Varible costs( per passenger)
REFRESHMENTS $6.50
REFUND $3.64

SALES INCOME (PER PASSENGER)
AVERAGE TICKET INCOME $36.40

Based on this data, what is the minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit?

Fixed costs:
$350 + $120 + $170 = $640
Variable costs:
x * ( $6.50 + $3.64 ) = x * 10.14
Sales income ( total ):
x * $36.40
FC + FV - Income = 0
640 + 10.14 x - 36.40 x = 0
640 - 26.26 x = 0
26.26 x = 640
x = 640 : 26.26 = 24.37
Answer:
The minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit is 25.

To answer this question, an assumption must be made, that Eva spends 8 hours a day working. If this is the case, then Eva will complete jobs w, x, and v on day one, for a total of six hours. Since the next job (y) requires 4 hours, she will spend two hours working that day, leaving 2 more hours to go on that job. The next day she will spend 2 hours finishing job y, completing it, and finish the longest job z (hours) that day. This means she had 4 jobs on day one, and 2 jobs on day 2 for and average of 3 jobs per day.  
This answer assumes an 8 hour work day, and that Eva can start a job she cannot finish that day.

frosja888 [35]
Consider the function f ( x ) = 2479 ⋅ 0.9948x First compare this with f ( x ) po ( 1 + r ) ^ 2 We get po = 2479 And 1 + r = 0.9948 = 1 – 0.0052 r = -0.0052 < 0 Therefore, f is an exponential decay function with a decay rate of 0.0052 x 100 = 0.52%
