Keep the product:
Sales $500,000Variable Expenses 340,000
---------------------------------------
Contribution Margin 160,000
Fixed Manufacturing 220,000
Net operating income (60,000)

Drop the product:
Sales $0
Variable Expenses 0
----------------------------
Contribution Margin 0
Fixed Manufacturing 180,000
Net operating income (180,000)

Difference of keep and drop the product would be:Sales ($500,000)
Variable Expenses 340,000
-----------------------------------------
Contribution Margin (160,000)
Fixed Manufacturing 40,000
Net operating income (20,000)

Therefore, net operating income would decrease by $20,000 if Product A were dropped.

julia-pushkina [17]

Flesch Corporation produces and sells two products, in case if there is any shift in the sales from product Y45E to C90B, then the breakeven will also decrease, since the contribution margin for Product C90B is less than the Product Y45E.

Contribution Margin: Total Contribution ÷ Total Sales

Product C90B:

=(26100-9135) ÷ 26100

= 35%

Product Y45E:

= (33540-15093) ÷ 33540

= 45%

Since the contribution margin of Product C90B < Product Y45E, the breakeven will decrease.

Fill in the blanks to complete the passage regarding the development of illegal markets in response to price ceilings. – are ill
djverab [1.8K]

Black markets are illegal markets that emerge in response to price controls. A few buyers are able to obtain the good at the open-market price; the rest must resort to illegal means. The additional demand is met by underground suppliers selling at much higher prices.

The government does not support the black market or any of their actions with getting items and selling them in other forms. Those who are in demand of a good when they have a hard time in getting it may purchase it illegally at a higher price just so they can receive that good. When there is an exchange of goods in the black market, these items are usually prohibited by the government and therefor illegally being sold.

The price of gold is currently $1,400 per ounce. The forward price for delivery in one year is$1,500. An arbitrageur can borrow
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery

Explanation:

Current price of gold=$1,400 per ounce

Forward price=$1,500

The arbitrageur can either pay the forward price or borrow $1400 and pay the interest of 4% in a year. Consider option 1 paying the forward price of 1500

Option 1

Since there are no additional costs, the total cost for buying the gold=forward price=$1,500

Option 2

If the arbitrageur borrows the 1400 to pay for the gold now, then pay the interest in 1 year;

The total cost=Amount borrowed+interest accrued in 1 year

Total cost=1400+(4%×1400)

1400+((4/100)×1400)

1400+56=$1456

Since there are no additional costs, option 2=$1456

If we compare option 1 to option 2, we notice that option 2 is slightly cheaper than option 1 by $44

(Option 1-Option 2)=(1500-1456)=$44

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery

Managers get things done through other people. They make decisions, allocate resources and direct the activities of others to attain goals. 

Managers oversee the work being done by an organization and communicate what needs to be done down through the appropriate channels. Managers have a very important role in how an organization operates because they keep everyone on track with what needs to be done.
