Organizations apply the analysis of break-even to make price decisions of their products, understand the costs that are involved in the production, and make a decision on the volume of sales achieved that can make the business profitable. In this plan of activities, Mission Hill Wine made total sales of its wine at $12, 500 in 2015 and incurred a variable cost per unit of $700 and a fixed cost of $ 8million. Therefore, the break-even would be determined as: In terms of units, BEP = 8,000,000/ (12,500-700) = 678 units. In terms of sales, BEP =678 units*12, ...

1. The mean of the bottling Company Case Study is 475.62(sum of all ounces of the bottles that were randomly selected on all three shifts)/30(amount of bottles that were randomly selected on all three shifts)=15.85(mean/average of ounces). When evaluating the median of an even data set the two middle numbers are added together and the mean of those two numbers is taken. In this case, the median of the Bottling company case study is 15.98 + 16.00 = 31.98/2 = 15.49. the median is 15.49.

The standard deviation is calculated as

σ = √[ ∑(x-mean)^2 / N ] σ = √13.115/29 = √.4522 = 0.6724581771381771 2. N=30, x = 15.85, s= ...

As a mobile robot operates in environment, its actual position and orientation are not exactly the same as targeted. Therefore, it is important to know about the robot’s definite current position for controlling it. In this section, three methods for positioning are described; using encoders, using ultrasonic ranging sensor, and using both ultrasonic and encoder sensors.

Positioning Using Encoder

In order to position the robot using encoders, it is necessary to take two steps. First, encoders should provide the current robot position. Second, it is important to reach the target position given by the supervisor.

Receiving the Robot’s Current Position Using Encoder

It is imperative to know the ...
