D. Reading everything very quickly
Answer:
A particular product line is most likely to be dropped when:
- its total fixed costs are more than its contribution margin
- its variable costs are more than its fixed costs
- its unavoidable fixed costs are more than its contribution margin.
Explanation:
The aim of every producer is to maximize profit and to make this possible, the cost of producing a particular product should fall below the contribution margin.
In the case that the gross profit is always negative due to high cost of production, further production should be discouraged.
The decision to drop a particular product line is usually reached when:
- Its total fixed costs are more than its contribution margin: Here, the company will run at a loss. It is sustainable to continue production..
- Its variable costs are more than its fixed costs: This is also an unfavorable situation that does not sustain mass production. Therefore, further production should discontinue.
- its unavoidable fixed costs are more than its contribution margin: At this rate, profit cannot be maximized. It is a lose-lose situation for the company.
The answer is (b) Greater,Rise ,toward
Explanation:
Refer to Exhibit 3-17. At a price of $16, the quantity demanded of good X is <u>Greater </u>than the quantity supplied of good X, and economists would use this information to predict that the price of good X would soon <u>Rise</u> .This would push the price <u>Toward</u> the equilibrium price
The law of Demand states that the price and the supply of the product are inversely related (i.e . ceteris Paribus).
Also an increase in the number of buyers of a particular product leads to a shift in the demand curve towards the right side
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Ratio Scale
Explanation:
A ration scale of measurement is one that has equal units of measurement, and has an absolute value of zero. Measurements below the zero point on the scale is not possible. for example in the measurement of height in meters, the lowest measurement possible is 0 meter, a measurement of - 1 meter will make no mathematical sense. In this example, if a score of 60 is said to have twice as much attributes than a score of 30, it means that this attributes are measured from a reference zero point, because truly, 60 is twice as much as 30, from a zero point on a scale.
The other scales of measurements include;
nominal scale of measurement; which contains mainly categorical data and is mainly used in form of tags rather than showing magnitude or intervals. Example is grouping a group of adults into married, divorced or single.
Ordinal scale; this scale shows hierarchical series or ordered series, but does not show intervals between the elements. example is in classifying the positions of participants in a race as first, second or third etc. There is an ordering, as the first position is on top of the list, but it will now make sense to say the distance between the attribute of first to third position is the same as the distance between the attributes between third and fifth position, as there is no scale.
Interval scale; this scale of measurement does not have a limit zero value which represents the least possible point on a scale, but the intervals between different units on the scale can be compared logically. Example is the measurement of temperature using the Fahrenheit scale, where the temperature can go as low as - 20°F, below the zero point, and a distance of 3°F to 5°F can be said to be equal to a distance of 10°F to 12°F.
