Answer:
1. 73 %
2. 27 %
3. $60,000
4. Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :
- Reduce the variable costs per unit
- Reduce fixed overheads
Explanation:
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100
Where,
Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs
= $88,000 - $23,760
= $64,240
Then,
Contribution Margin Ratio = $64,240/ $88,000 × 100
= 73 %
Variable Cost Ratio = Variable Cost / Sales × 100
= $23,760 / $88,000 × 100
= 27 %
Break-even sales revenue = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $43,800 ÷ 0.73
= $60,000
<u>Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :</u>
- Reduce the variable costs per unit
- Reduce fixed overheads
Answer:

Answer: continuance commitment
Explanation:
The above scenario explains a continuance commitment. This occurs when a worker remains with a particular organization after he or she looks at both the benefits and costs of leaving and sees that the cost of leaving the organization outweighs the benefits.
In this case, even though Matrice has had several recruiters offering interviews for possible positions at different companies, he believes that he should stay as a result of the medical insurance benefits that he gets. This is thus referred to as continuance commitment.
Answer:
b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives; and
c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives
Explanation:
Olives Jeans Trade off Ratio (Olives:Jeans)
Spain 1 3 1:3 or 0.33:1 (1/3 = 0.33)
Denmark 1 11 1:11 or 0.09:1 (1/11= 0.09)
Spain & Denmark have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other, in Olive & Jeans respectively.
Spain will export Olives to Denmark (importer). Denmark will export Jeans to Spain (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio.
- '2 jeans pairs per olive crate' not gainful trade ratio for Spain, as it is getting more i.e 3 jeans pair per olive crate at its own domestic ratio.
- '13 jeans per olive' not gainful for Denmark, as 0.07 = (1/13) olive per jeans is worse than its own domestic ratio i.e 0.09 = (1/11) olive per jeans
'4 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:
- Spain: As it gets 4 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
- Denmark : As it gets 0.25 = (1/4) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans
'6 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:
- Spain: As it gets 6 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
- Denmark : As it gets 0.16 = (1/6) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans
Both of them are gainful trade ratios, but:
- 1olive:4 jeans is more gainful for Denmark, as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (0.25 is more > 0.09 than 4 > 3).
- 1olive:6jeans is more gainful for Spain as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (6 is more > 3 than 0.16 > 0.09)
