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.

Answer:

<em>Solution; ( 1, 0 ), and ( - 3, 4 )</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

See procedure below;

First let us make these two functions ( y = -x + 1 , y = x^2 + x - 2 ) equivalent;

- x + 1  = x^2 + x - 2,

-x - x + 1 + 2 - x^2 = 0,

- 2x + 3 - x^2 = 0,

x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0,

Now factor the simplified equation;

x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0,

( x^2 - x ) + ( 3x - 3 ) = 0,

x ( x - 1 ) + 3 ( x - 1 ) = 0,

( x - 1 )( x + 3 ) = 0,

And solve for x;

x - 1 = 0, and x + 3 = 0,

x = 1, and x = - 3

Now substitute this value of x into the two functions as to receive the y  values for each x - value;

y = - ( 1 ) + 1, <em>y = 0 for x = 1</em>,

y = ( - 3 )^2 - 3 - 2, y = 9 - 3 - 2, <em>y = 4 for x = - 3</em>,

<em>Solution; ( 1, 0 ), and ( - 3, 4 )</em>

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The latest possible date is December, 14th.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the second Friday of December is n+7, where n is the date for the first Friday of December. So, the latest the first Friday, the latest the second. As the weeks have seven days, the first Friday will be between 1st and 7th of each month. So, the latest first Friday will be 7th. Therefore, the latest second Friday will be 14th.

Here are the 30 best lifetime baseball batting averages of all time, arranged in order from lowest to highest: 0.329, 0.330, 0.3
dsp73

When putting data into a class for this case, 0.350 - 0.359, they should be within the class boundaries. The class boundaries are 0.3495 and 0.3595. So, the data that will go into that class are 0.356 and 0.358. The record 0.349 is not included since it is below 0.3495. Therefore, there are only two values in the class.
