Answer:

1. BEP Company 470,000

2. BEP North 220,000

3. BEP South 110,000

Explanation:

The formula for BEP( Break even point)

Break even point in dollars = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio , where

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales revenue

To get started, Contribution margin ratio needed to be calculated.

North CMR = 120,000/400,000

= 0.3

South CMR = 120,000/ 200,000

= 0.6

Company = 240,000/600,000

= 0.4

Therefore, BEP(Dollars)

BEP(Dollars) = Fixed cost/ Contribution margin ratio

North = 66,000 / 0.3

= 220,000

South = 66,000 / 0.6

= 110,000

For the company, we will need to add common and segmented fixed cost;

Common fixed cost. 56,000

Segmented fixed cost 132,000

Total fixed cost 188,000

= 188,000 / 0.4

= 470,000

77julia77 [94]

Marginal utility will be calculated for movies by: 14/(4*4) which would mean 0.875 utils per dollar per movie. Whereas, for apps, it would be: 8/(3*4) which would mean utils per dollar per app to be 0.667. Hence, movies tend to carry higher utility.

tester [92]
This shift in demand was likely the result of the improved technology of MP3 players.
Improved technology brought improved quality of MP3 players, which meant that more people were interested in buying them. MP3 players are far more convenient than CD players, because they are smaller, more easily portable, and overall better.

stira [4]

The question is incomplete:

Clare, a florist, opened a new store and wanted to purchase a new refrigeration display cabinet for fresh-flower arrangements. She entered into a deal with Alpha Refrigeration Systems for two refrigeration units at $600 each. But, after delivering the units, the salesperson demanded another $100 as delivery charges, which was not mentioned in the deal. Identify the win-lose strategy used by the salesperson.

-Good guy-bad guy routine

-Browbeating

-Red herring

-Trial balloon

-Lowballing

Answer:

-Red herring

Explanation:

-Goog buy-bad guy routine is a strategy in which one person appears to be on your side and when you get to an agreement, this person goes to the bad guy for approval who will renegotiate.

-Browbeating is a strategy in which the buyer tries to affect the saleperson atittude by saying unflattering things.

-Red herring is a strategy in which one of the parties tries to distract the other one from certain isues to get an advantage.

-Trial balloon is an strategy in which one of the parties says something to the other one to get information about its position in the negotiation.

-Lowballing is an strategy in which the buyer makes a really low offer to test the seller.

According to the definitions, the answer is that the win-lose strategy used by the salesperson is red herring because Clara didn't consider the information related to the delivery when purchasing the units as she was probably distracted by other aspects and didn't consider this.
