Answer:

The correct answer is A that is substitution bias

Explanation:

Substitution bias is the bias in the economic index numbers, if that do not incorporate the data on the consumer expenditures then the customer will switch from relatively more expensive products or items to the cheaper ones due to the change in the price.

As, the price of that produce has increased so, the customer shifted or preferred to buy the product which is cheaper in price. Therefore, it is referred to as the Substitution bias.

A narrow market focus is to a differentiation-based strategy as a __________________. technological innovation is to a cost-base
olganol [36]

Answer: possible options:

A.growth market is to a differentiation-based strategy

B. broadly-defined target market is to a cost leadership strategy

C. growth market is to a cost-based strategy

D. technological innovation is to cost-based strategy

Answer is B

Explanation:

Companies that use a cost leadership strategy and those that use a differentiation strategy share one important characteristic: both groups try to be attractive to customers in general. These efforts to appeal to a broad range of consumers can be contrasted with strategies that involve targeting a relatively narrow niche of potential customers. These latter strategies are known as focus strategies (Porter, 1980).

Focused cost leadership is the first of two focus strategies. A focused cost leadership strategy requires competing based on price to target a NARROW MARKET. A firm that follows this strategy does not necessarily charge the lowest prices in the industry. Instead, it charges low prices relative to other firms that compete within the target market. For example, you might be able to buy milk cheaper by driving to a big-box grocery store in your local community or town, but the local corner store is the cheapest within walking distance. Redbox, a major DVD rental company, uses vending machines placed outside grocery stores and other retail outlets to rent DVDs of movies for $1. There are ways to view movies even cheaper, such as through the flat-fee streaming video subscriptions offered by Netflix. But among firms that rent actual DVDs, Redbox offers unparalleled levels of low price and high convenience.

KatRina [158]

Answer: Please see explanation column for answer

Explanation:

Recasting  the income statement to emphasize contribution margin.

Juicy Beauty Operating Income Statement, June 2017

Units sold                                                            20,000

Revenues                                                         $200,000

Variable costs(subtract):

Variable manufacturing costs    $110,000

Variable marketing costs             $10,000

Total variable costs                                                 $120,000  

Contribution margin                                                   $80,000

Fixed costs

fixed manufacturing costs                         40,000

Fixed marketing and administrative costs 20,000

Total fixed cost                                                                $60,000

Operating income                                                           $20,000

Working  for income statement above =

Contribution margin = Revenue -Total  variable cost =$200,000- ($110,000 + $10,000) - $80,000

Operating income= Contribution margin - Total fixed cost = $80,000 - $($40,000 +$20,000) -=$20,000

2  The contribution margin percentage and breakeven point in units and revenues for June 2017.

Contribution margin percentage = ,Contribution margin/ Revenue x 100%

= $80,000/ $200,000 x 100= 40 %

Contribution margin per unit = ,Contribution margin/ units sold

                                                   80,000 / 20,000= $4 per unit

Break  even point units  = Total fixed cost/ ,Contribution margin per unit

 = $60,000/ $4=  15,000units

Break even revenue=

we first calculate the selling price = Revenue / units sold = $200,000/ 20,000 =$10

Break even revenue=Break even units x per unit sold = $15,000 x $10 = $150,000.

3. Margin of safety = units sold - break even point unit

20,000 - 15,000 =5000 units

4. If the sales is 16,000 and tax is 30% , Net income is

Units sold                     16,000

Revenue                     $160,000

Contribution margin    $64,000

Total fixed cost           - $60,000

Operation income       $4,000

tax at 30 %                  - $ 1200

Net income                 $2,800

working

Revenue = units sold x sale per unit = 16,000 x $10 = $160,000

Contribution margin = Revenue x contribution margin percentage = $160,000 x 40% = $64,000

Operation income = contribution margin - fixed costs= $64,000 - $60,000 = $4000

Tax = 30% of 4000 = $1200

Net income = $4000 - $1200 = $2,800

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Cake demand next year=1,267,498 units

Explanation:

Y=I+G

where;

Y=cake demand next year

I=initial demand

G=growth demand

Meaning;

Cake demand next year=Initial demand+growth demand

where;

Initial demand=1,207,141 units

growth demand=5% of initial demand

growth demand=(5/100)×1,207,141=60,357.05 units

replacing;

Cake demand next year=1,207,141+60,357.05=1,267,498.05

Cake demand next year=1,267,498.05 units rounded off to the nearest unit=1,267,498 units
