Series circuits are connected in a long chain from one terminal of the battery to the other.
For Example: Some christmas lights you just bought at the store have an internal series circuit, so if you take out one little bulb or light, the entire circuit shuts off.
Parallel circuits form more than one continuous path for electrons to flow.
Ex: if you take out a little bulb from the lights only that part will shut off, not all of the lights.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Time Warner, Inc.

Turner Home Box Office Warner Bros. Total

Segment Revenues

(in millions) $21,700 $22,200 $80,600 $124,500

Variable costs 4,774 10,434 25,792 41,000

Contribution margin $16,926 $11,766 $54,808 $83,500

Contribution ratio 78% (100 - 22) 53% (100 -47) 68% (100 -32) 67%

b. Certainly, Turnover and Warner Bros. are more profitable businesses than Home Box Office in terms of total contribution margin (dollars) and contribution margin ratio.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Segment Revenues

(in millions)

Turner (cable networks and digital media) $21,700

Home Box Office (pay television) 22,200

Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 80,600

Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows:

Turner 22%

Home Box Office 47%

Warner Bros. 32%

b) The contribution margin ratio for the three segments can easily be determined by subtracting the variable costs percentages from 100 for each segment instead of doing more computations (Contribution margin/Sales Revenue * 100). But the results are the same for either method.
