Answer:

The company's CM ratio: 0.5

Its break-even point in units: 14,300 units and in dollars:  $286,000

Explanation:

Variable expense per unit = Variable expenses/ number of units = $128,000/12,800 = $10

The contribution margin ratio is calculated by using following formula:

Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Total Variable cost)/Sales  = ($256,000 - $128,000)/$256,000 = 0.5

The break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula:

Break-even point in units = Fixed expense/(Selling price per unit-Variable expense per unit) =  $143,000/($20 - $10) = 14,300 units

Break-even point in dollars = 14,300 units x Selling price per unit = 14,300 x $20 = $286,000

Natali [406]

Answer:

I think it's A) Always just answer the question the customer has.

Explanation:

I know it's not D) "Never look the customer in the eye."

I don't think it's C) "Always answer a question with another question" that just seems like it would be confusing for the customer.

And I don't think it's B) "Never try to get more information about what the customer needs" because part of you're job as a salesman is find out what the customer needs.
