Answer:

Steve Jobs coming back, Innovations, and Tim Cook taking over as COO

Explanation:

The fluctuations in stock prices of a company are due to improved performance of the company in meeting it's objectives and perception that the business will do better in the future.

In the given scenario there was an initial increase in Apple’s stock price from $27.97 to $702.10, an increase of 25 times.

This can be attributed to the return of Steve Jobs as the CEO of Apple. There was a confidence boost by his coming back. Also there were various innovations like: iPhone, iMac, iPod, and iTunes. These improved the performance and by extension share price of Apple.

However when Tim Cook took over as COO he reduced production by half resulting in stock price decrease by 37% from its peak in September 2012 until the end of March 2013, from $702.10 to $442.66.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

$326,400 is the variable cost quantity factor while $56,000 is the unit cost factor

Explanation:

The variable cost quantity factor is a measure of the difference between the planned and actual units  multiplied by planned variable cost.  

That is Variable Cost quantity factor = (planned units  - actual units sold) x        planned variable cost

                                                            = (14000-2400) - 14000) x $136

                                                            = (11600 - 14000) x $136

                                                            =  -$326,400

Unit Cost factor = $(140 - 136) x 14000 units

                          =$56,000

For a recent year, McDonald's Company-owned restaurants had the following sales and expenses (in millions): Sales $25,700 Food a
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a. $9,338

b. 0.363

Explanation:

a. Contribution Margin  = Sales - Variable Cost

Where Sales = $25,700

Variable Cost = Food & Packaging + Payroll + 40% x General, Selling and Administrative expenses

V.C. = 8,982 + 6,500 + 40% * 3,700

V.C = 8,982 + 6,500 + 1,480

= $16,362

Therefore, Contribution Margin  = Sales - Variable Cost  

= $25,700 - $16,362

=$9,338

b. McDonald's contribution margin ratio  = Contribution Margin / Sales

= $9,338 / $25,700

= 0.363
