Answer:

-Developed product called RoundUp

-Genetically modify seeds

-Patented gene (don't allow farmers to save patented seed)

-If farmer's crop gets contaminated by their seeds, they will be held responsible

Explanation:

Monsanto Company is a multinational in the field of agriculture and biotechnology. Headquartered in the United States, the company leads the worldwide production of glyphosate herbicide and the production of genetically modified seeds. Monsanto's economic activity has sparked discussions among farmers that the company has monopolized the production of herbicides and seeds, limiting agricultural production to the use of its products.

Monsanto's monopoly on seed production was established through:

-Developed product called RoundUp

-Genetically modify seeds

-Patented gene (don't allow farmers to save patented seed)

-If farmer's crop gets contaminated by their seeds, they will be held responsible

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

The correct answer is "the company has not budgeted sufficient funds for training".

Situational constraints are the factors that affect the behavior and performance in a negative way by placing limitation on personal attributes and motivation.
