leva [86]

Answer: 1) Carol can use the surve results to . identify the building blocks of competitive advantage and develop strategies to use them to increase profitability and in this way try to get the most out of it.

2) Strategically, managers who have identified these advanced factors should take steps to protect these assets, either formally or as a trade secret, optimize the company's use of them and not outsource them to other firms because it is convenient to try that the competition does not find out about the use of this factor of production so that it cannot imitate them and thus be able to gain a greater market share to the competition.

3) The statement "in response to requests from customers for healthier food on the menu, a restaurant tweaks its recipe for its most popular sandwich to remove processed ingredients and replace them with fresh vegetables." describes a strategy that adds value to multiple factors as it goes through several activities in the value chain because the company's decision to use less processed ingredients and more fresh vegetables not only facilitates production but also responds to a customer need, which will value the products even more.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit.

The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (102 - 58)

Break-even point in units= 17,248 units

Now, the selling price is $107:

Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (107 - 58)

Break-even point in units= 15,488 units

Bloom Company management predicts that it will incur fixed costs of $160,000 and earn pretax income of $164,000 in the next peri

Lena [83]

Answer:

SALES IN DOLLAR $1,296,000
VARIABLE COST IN DOLLAR $972,000

Explanation:

The process would be to use formulas of the variable costing method to solve for each term:

We are going to use the operating income formula

contribution margin - fixed cost = operating income

Replace with the know values:

contribution margin - 160,000 = 164,000

now solve for the unknow value

contribution = 164,000 + 160,000 = 324,000

Next step we use the contribution margin ratio formula to get the sales:

contribution margin/sales = contribution ratio

Replace with the know values:

324,000/sales = 0.25

now solve for the unknow value:

sales = 324,000/0.25 = 1,296,000

Lastly we use the contribution margin formula to solve for variable cost:

sales - variable cost = contribution margin

Replace with the know values:

1,296,000 - variable cost = 324,000

now solve for the unknow value:

variable cost= 1,296,000 - 324,000 = 972,000
