A grocery chain is interested in exploring the impact effective supply chain management would have. Suppose that for every $1 of

sales, 4% is profit, 50% is spent in the supply chain, and the remaining 46% is evenly divided between fixed and production costs. If the chain can save $1 in the supply chain, it would take how many dollars of increased sales to have the same increase in profit? Assume that fixed costs are fixed so that the portion of increased sales allocated to fixed costs is instead profit (27% profit margin combined now).

Answer:

$3.70

Explanation:

In this question we have to assume the items values

Let say

Sales = $100

So supply chain it spends 50% i.e $50

Profit is 4% i.e $4

Since the 46% is dividend among fixed and production costs

So the fixed cost is $23 and variable cost is $23

Now if the sales increase by $X, the revenue will increase by X.

So it would also increased the cost by X × (0.5+0.23)

And in overall, the profit is also increased

Plus it is given that there is  27% profit margin

So, the equation is

0.27X = 1

Therefore X = $3.70 with additional profit of $1

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Unit Selling Price     Unit Variable Costs    Unit Contribution  Margin Contribution Margin Ratio

1. $570 $420    

Unit Contribution  Margin= Unit Sales Price Less  Unit Variable Price =

$ 570- $ 450 = $150 (a)

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin/ Sales = 150/570* 100= 26 % (b)

2. $490      $490 -$130= $360 (c) $130        ($ 130/ $490)* 100= 27 % (d)

3. $23000 (e) $22540 (f) $460 2

Unit Contribution  Margin $460

Contribution Margin Ratio  2

Contribution Margin Ratio= Unit Contribution  Margin/Sales=  $460/ Sales  =2 %

$460/ Sales  =2 %

Sales = $ 460/2%= $ 23000

Sales - Unit Contribution  Margin = $ 460

Unit Contribution  Margin= Sales- $460 = $ 23000- $ 460= $ 22540

How did trickle-down economics claim to increase government tax revenues?
chubhunter [2.5K]
<span>How did trickle-down economics claim to increase government tax revenues? By lowering tax rates. Lower tax rates helps the people by giving them a tax break that the wouldn't otherwise get. Paying taxes becomes expensive and it helps those when taxes decrease because they are able to keep more of their income and afford more than they would be able to otherwise. </span>

If a competitive firm can sell a bushel of soybeans for $25 and it has an average variable cost of $24 per bushel and the margin
Liula [17]

Answer: reduce output.

Explanation:

In a competitive market, firms do not have control over the price that they sell their goods in the market but they do have control over their costs. It is recommended to produce/ sell goods at a quantity where Marginal Revenue will equal Marginal cost (MR = MC).

In a Competitive Market, Price is the same as Marginal revenue which means that Marginal revenue here is $25 and the Marginal Cost is $26. At this quantity of output, the Marginal Cost is larger than the Marginal revenue.

Company should therefore reduce output to a quantity where Marginal Cost will equal Marginal revenue.

Monika's gift barn has cash of $316, accounts receivable of $687, accounts payable of $709, and inventory of $2,108. what is the
kondaur [170]
Given:
Cash = $316
Accounts receivable = $687
Accounts payable = $709  (Liabilities)
Inventory = $2,108 (Assets)

Total assets = Cash + Receivables  
                    = 316 + 687 = $1,003
Liabilities = $709

By definition, the quick ratio is
QR = (Assets - Inventory) / Liabilities
      = (1003 - 2108)/709
      = -1.5585

This means that the gift barn is over-leveraged and struggling to grow.

Answer: -1.56
