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: Product A because contribution margin per unit is $7.70

Explanation:

Contribution margin is the difference between the sales price and the variable cost of a product, any product that has a positive contribution is worth investing in for the contribution will on the long run take off the fixed cost and company will subsequently makes a profit.

The price is not a strong determinant nor the contribution in relation to a single variable when the contribution per unit is giving.

Suppose we observe that as the price of lettuce increases from $1 to $2 per head, consumers buy only half the number of heads of
alex41 [277]

Answer:

C. A decrease in the quantity demanded

Explanation:

Price Elasiticity

The law of demand and supply would usually hold that an increase in prices will result in a decrease in demand. Furthermore, an increase in demand generates a corresponding increasing in supply as well.

<u>When the demand of a product is sensitive to the changes in price, then we say that price of the product is elastic</u> but if the product demand not strongly influenced  by price then we say that the pricing is inelastic.

In the case of the lettuce, we can say that the price is elastic, because there is a sensitive reaction between an increase in price from $1 to $2 which immediately leads to a halfing of the quantity demanded. The price is elastic such that an increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded.

If a business is in need of working capital, one option is to use a(n) ________ that will buy the company's account receivables
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

factoring company

Explanation:

Factoring companies purchase your company's invoices (account receivables). When they do that, your company promptly receives a cash advance, instead of waiting for the usual 60, 90 day period to receive the full payment amount. Afterward, the factoring company collects the payment from your clients.

All of that is done for a fee to the factoring company (deducted from the full payment amount) and mostly with clients with whom it is normal to have longer payment periods. Factoring is an essential way to get bigger working capital.
