Lakeside Inc. produces a product that currently sells for $57.60 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct mate

rials, $22; direct labor, $24; variable overhead, $11.00; and fixed overhead, $11.00. Product engineering has determined that certain production changes could refine the product quality and functionality. These new production changes would increase material and labor costs by 20% per unit. If Lakeside could sell the refined version of its product for $40 per unit, should it be processed further?

Answer:

It is convenient to make the changes.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $57.60 per unit.

Direct materials= $22

Direct labor= $24

Variable overhead= $11.00

Fixed overhead= $11.00.

New costs:

Direct material cost= 22*1.2= $26.4

Direct labor cost= 24*1.2= $28.8

<u>I suppose that the selling price will increase by $40.</u>

To determine whether the changes increase profit or not, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin per unit for both options:

Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

Actual Contribution margin:

Contribution margin= 57.6 - (22 - 24 - 11)= 0.6

New contribution margin:

Contribution margin= 97.60 - (26.4 - 28.8 - 11)= $31.4

Chase lives in Oregon but works for a company that is located in Florida. What business trend is this an example of?
sveticcg [70]
Well, I am going to assume that the business trend this is an example of is A. remote workforce.
Given that this person lives in a different part of the country than his company is located in, he is working from a remote location. The other options don't make much sense here. Social responsibility means that you have to behave according to the society's rules. Digital marketing is a way of marketing online. Green business has to do with nature.

<span>High Shore Inc. adopts a new technology purely out of social pressure. In this case, High Shore Inc. would be classified as part of the early group of adopters of new technology. Those that adopt a new technology early on, typically tend to be more profitable but also more critical. Though the adaptation came from social pressure, High Shore Inc. still has expectations that the technology needs to meet to maintain their companies growing needs. </span>

Which of the following statements about torts is correct?
swat32

Hello There!

Your answer would be <u>C). A tortious act may also be a criminal act.</u>

The reason why C would be your answer is because a tortious act is something that harms someone in any way. The reason why it "may" be a criminal act is because determine if the tortious act is a criminal act really depends on the scenario that is occurring. For example, someone could cause a tortious act in a way of self defense, this scenario would be debatable because the person that committed the tortious act had a valid reason in doing so, and that was protecting themselves. But, if a person was to cause a tortious act by  hurting someone to steal from them, then that would definitely be a criminal act because they are performing dangerous things to someone else, and the person could file a lawsuit against it.

Let's dive into why the other answer choices are incorrect. We can use the old fashion process of elimination:

Answer choice "A). A tortious act is always a criminal act" is incorrect because it is not always a criminal act, it depends on the scenario it's in. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

Answer choice "B). A criminal act is always a tortious act" is incorrect because there are MANY criminal acts that doesn't harm anyone, for example, tax evasion (not paying taxes) is a criminal act, but does not cause any harm to anyone. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

Answer choice "D). A tortious act is the same as a contract dispute" is incorrect because harming someone is not the same as not doing what a contract says. A contact dispute is when someone that's part of a contract did not do a duty that the contract says that they're suppose to do, and that usually doesn't have to be any harm to anyone. That would not be the same as a tortious act, harming someone. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

The basic principles of economics suggest that
spin [16.1K]

The answer is: C. government should become involved in markets when those markets fail to produce efficient or fair outcomes.

When left without regulations, many companies decided to do unfair business practice such as putting materials that dangerous for the consumers or giving their employees with unfair wages.

Because of this, government need to step in and make regulations to watch over the companies. (such as determining which materials would be safe as ingredients or creating legislation that regulate the minimum wages in the state)
