Answer:
An increase in the demand for leather will most likely cause an increase in the demand for beef in the short run.
Explanation:
We can establish from the question that the two products are jointly produced. The two products are simply - Leather and Beef.
There's thus a direct relationship between the production of one and the other. That is, an increase in the production of leather causes an equal increase in the production of beef.
Having considered that, it is important to underscore the general human behaviors to issues on Demand. A rational individual will buy more of a product if the price is low. The more the demand, the more the increase in production.
For leather and beef, there is a critical factor that necessitate there joint production. This is that the byproducts from the production of one, say, Beef, will form an input in the production of the other. This relationship further lends credence to our foregoing assertion that the both products share direct relationship. Using the byproducts obtained from the production of one as an input will not increase the economies of scale of the other, it'll lead to an equal increase in the production levels.
Thus, an increase in the demand for leather signals an increase in the production of leather. Hence, with increase in production of leather, there's an equal increase in the production of beef with direct consequence on product demand, while taking advantage of the economies of scale derived from, and the competitive pricing.

Answer:
Product A because the contribution margin per MH is $23.33
Explanation:
In terms of efficiency, you have to look for the highest outcome with the fewer use of resources. In this case, the resources available are the machines, and the outcome is the profit (margin per unit). Applying the formula: Efficiency producing X (Ex) = [(1 hour of machine hour) / (Product x timed used per unit)]Margin per unit X, and comparing products A and B, you get that producing A is more efficient in terms of profits than producing B, by $10,1 per hour (23,33 - 13,2)
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": top management's attitude toward decentralized operating structures.
