Answer:

Option 1 is wrong because in the case of multi-product, breakeven is weighted average which means the sales price will weighted average of sale prices of all the multi-products in the sales mix. If we change the weightings the weighted average costs and selling prices changes and so the contribution changes.

Option 2 is also sligthly wrong because Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases in the sales mix. This means:

Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit.........equartion 1

If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.

Its impact depends upon the portfolio of products company is managing. It means it increases breakeven with high effects if the products in sales mix 2 to 3.

Option 3 is 100% right because equation 1 is

Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit

Which says

If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.

Option 4 is absolutely wrong because if we shift to higher volume in low contribution margin products, Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases

which means Weighted average contribution has been decreased and as a result breakeven point according to equation 1 has been incresed.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Geoff's target service level is 0.76

Explanation:

Doing so would expand his expense from $0.99 to $1.59 and could very well give him the sustenance he expected to endure the second 50% of his day at the workplace. Obviously, in the event that he completed his cheeseburger and the typical measure of fries, he would essentially discard the additional ones. In any case, on the off chance that he neglected to supersize his request, he would need to take a confection break mid-evening and they weren't actually offering them away in the reprieve room candy machines. He would probably require two pieces of candy, which sold for $0.95 each.

If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, then (i) multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to d
Afina-wow [57]

Answer: the correct answer is B. (i) and (iii) only

Explanation:

A natural monopoly is a monopoly in an industry in which huge infrastructural costs and other fences to entry relative to the size of the market give the largest supplier in an industry, often the first supplier in a market, an overwhelming advantage over potential competitors.  

(i) multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes. This is true but often times it is just one big company the one that serves the whole market or a partnership of two or (rarely) three companies that works as a big company.

(iii) a single firm can serve the market at the lowest possible average total cost.  This is true because a natural monopoly has scale economies that's why it can offer the lowest possible average total costs.

Reptile [31]

So in order for Chris to earn normal profit, the difference between his revenue and his combined explicit (e.g. rent, assistant's salary) and implicit costs (opportunity cost) is zero.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

1. He has not developed the idea yet

2. His employer knows he his a pacifist so he has the delima is he ethically correct to not develop a product that can be used for warfare.

Explanation:

In this scenario Ben signed an agreement with his employer that all ideas he has developed on the job and while working with the company is a property of the company.

This is a common agreement that gives a company property rights over work developed by their employees.

However since Ben is a pacifist he has an ethical dilemma when he has an idea that can weaponize an ultrasonic range-finding device.

He is justifying his decision by saying the idea has not been developed yet and his employer will not expect him to develop such technology since he is a pacifist.
