McCoy Brothers manufactures and sells two products, A and Z in the ratio of 4:2. Product A sells for $75; Z sells for $95. Variable costs for product A are $35; for Z $40. Fixed costs are $418,500. Compute the number of units of Product Z McCoy must sell to break even.

3100 units of Product Z

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 4 is to 2, that means:

4 + 2 = 6 parts total

Now,

We have to cover the fixed cost of 418,500 from profits, that is SP - VC

Where SP is Selling Price and VC is Variable Cost

Product A:

SP = 75

VC = 35

Profit = 40

Product B:

SP = 95

VC = 40

Profit = 55

So, we can sell "4x" of product A and "2x" of product B, and create the equation:

Now, we solve for x:

The amount of Product Z was taken as "2x", so the quantity of Product Z would be:

2(1550) = 3100 units of Product Z

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
