Calvin works at a facility which processes apples. it costs the facility $0.68 to make either a jar of applesauce or a bottle of apple juice. due to the nature of the process and contractual agreements, calvin's facility must make and sell three jars of applesauce for every two bottles of apple juice. a jar of applesauce sells for $2.20, and a bottle of apple juice sells for $3.15. if the facility has annual overhead costs of $368,500, not including production costs, how many bottles of apple juice will the facility have sold when it breaks even every year? round to the nearest whole bottle, if necessary.

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i. e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
