Answer: Item A - Single Sourcing Strategy

Item B - Multiple Supplier Strategy

Explanation:

Item A:

This item is in high volume and has a low risk factor because there are multiple potential Suppliers present in the market. Because of this you can choose the SINGLE SOURCING STRATEGY because you can easily switch to others if one is unable to supply you with the good.

Item B:

This item has a low volume as the Suppliers are equally low. This means that the risk factor here is quite high. Because of these factors it is best to use a MULTIPLE SUPPLIER STRATEGY to mitigate the risk that one supplier will not have it. This was many options are available.

Answer:

$105,000

Explanation:

The total sales are 3,500,000, and the current market share is 7%.

3,500,000 * 0.07 = $245,000

The goal is to increase the market share to 10%

3,500,000* 0.10 = $350,000

The difference between original sales and the target sale is

245,000 – 350,000 = $105,000

An increase of $105,000 is required to achieve a market share of 10%

mote1985 [20]
The correct answer is - the number of hours he works at each job.
If we have the number of hours he works for each job separately, then we will be able to take out a percentage of the earnings from both of the jobs separately. We will than get the sum of the percentages if both of them, and have the real amount of George's weekly savings.

Answer:

$24,160 favorable

Explanation:

The computation of the total contribution margin sales volume variance is given below:

The Budgeted contribution margin per pound of MT is

= $40 - $20

= $20 per pound

Now the budgeted contribution margin per pound of ET is

= $60 - $30

= $24  per pound

MT's contribution margin sales volume variance is

= (Actual sales quantity - Budgeted sales quantity) × Budgeted contribution margin per pound

= (3960 - 4000) × $20

= $800 Unfavorable

ET's contribution margin sales volume variance is

= (Actual sales quantity - Budgeted sales quantity) × Budgeted contribution margin per pound

= (5,040 - 4000) × $24

= $24,960 favorable

Now the total contribution margin sales volume is

= $800 unfavorable + $24,960 favorable

= $24,160 favorable
