Suppose that Larimer Company sells a product for $24. Unit costs are as follows:
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

a)

Variable cost per unit=$10.08

Contribution per unit=$13.92

b)

Contribution margin ratio=58%

Variable cost ratio= 42%

c) Break-even units=3,000 units

Explanation:

Variable cost per unit

= 4.98 + 2.10 + 1.00 + 2.00 = $10.08

Variable cost per unit=$10.08

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

                                  = 24 - 10.08  =13.92

Contribution per unit=$13.92

b)

Contribution margin ratio=  contribution/selling price= 13.92/24 × 100=58%

Contribution margin ratio=58%

Variable cost ratio = variable cost/selling price= 10.08 /24× 100 = 42%

Variable cost ratio=42%

c)

Break-even units = Total general fixed cost/contribution per unit

                           = (26,500 + 15,260)/  13.92     = 3000 units

Break-even units=3,000 units

Why do many business owners avoid market research? Question options: They're afraid of hearing any negative feedback. They don't
rosijanka [135]

In most cases, the business owners are <u>unwilling to take the time</u>. Market research is incredible important when running a business, and by not doing it, you are going into a market that you have no idea about. This can hurt the business in the short-term because they won't know which demographics to serve, how the location they're in contributes to their sales, what products or services are popular, and if there is a lot of competition in their market. All these can have negative impacts on the business and it's why market research is so important!

It can also be because <u>they don't know how to do it</u>. Most business owners don't really know how to research demographics and competition, so they tend not to do it, or hire others who how to do it.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

✔ Asking employees questions helps develop their critical thinking skills.

✘ Asking employees questions boosts their morale by helping them feel like experts, even though they’re not.

✘ Asking employees questions enhances their sense that the manager is the only person they should be in dialogue with, so they start talking less to each other.

✔ Asking employees how to solve problems empowers them to arrive at solutions to which they’re committed.

Explanation:

A manager who asks questions with a sincere interest in the answers is engaging in dialogue similar to a “regular” back-and-forth conversation, and this authenticity builds trust and promotes the open exchange of ideas. Another key benefit is that having employees think about questions, rather than just telling them information or telling them what to do, engages their critical thinking skills—which are key skills for organizational success. Also, when employees are asked how to solve problems, they are likely to have more buy-in to the solution they arrive at than to a solution imposed on them. Many people are motivated by feeling as though their ideas make a positive difference.

Lower-level employees are often the experts in operational details and often have more direct contact with customers than higher-level managers, so they have tremendous expertise that can and should be tapped. Asking employees questions begins an organizational dialogue that can lead to a decentralized communication network, in which employees freely exchange ideas with one another and not just with their manager.
