This is a case of statistical correlation that does not correspond to causation. Those 2 variables are unrelated, hence an increase in the percentage of population that has a cell phone should not affect the violent crime rate. Nevertheless, there are other factors that affect both variables. For example, the development of technology has increased both the availability of phones and the difficulty of getting away with a crime due to modern forensic methods. Hence, this is a good example of a lurking variable.

Titanic Roofing Company has estimated the following amounts for its next fiscal​ year: Total fixed costs $ 833 comma 000 Sale pr
vitfil [10]

Answer: B. Operating income will increase by $ 45,000

Explanation:

Total fixed cost = $833,000

Sale price per unit = 60

Variable cost per unit = 30

Advertising = $30,000

Increase in sales volume = 2500

The contribution margin is the difference between the sales price per unit and the variable cost per unit.

= 60 - 30

= 30

Therefore, Hence the increase in the contribution margin will be:

= ($30 × 2500)=$75000

We then subtract the additional cost of $30,000 from $75,000. This will be:

= $75,000 - $30,000

= $45,000

Therefore, operating income will increase by $45,000
