Suppose that in the second year her average total cost per dog is $35 and that $20 of that is associated with the variable cost.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

She should stay open, because the revenue of from dog grooming ($30 per dog), is still high enough to cover her variable cost of $20 per dog, even though she is operating at a loss.

Explanation:

Profit = Revenue - Total costs

Total costs = Fixed costs + variable costs

Profit = $30 - $35 = -$5 per dog

This shows she is operating at a loss of $5 per dog.

If a company does not make enough revenue to cover its total costs, then it is operating at a loss.

However such a company must consider its variable cost before deciding whether to shut down.

A company should only shut down if it is unable to make enough revenue to cover its variable cost.

If a company is operating at a loss but can at least cover its variable cost, then it should stay open at least in the short run.

Variable expenses as

a percentage of sales 44 % 39 % 49 %

Traceable fixed expenses $ 294,000 $ 329,000 $ 196,000

Answer:

Denominator

Lower

Numerator

Explanation:

The reason is that the statement is talking about the low per capita GDP which we can see in the picture attached with this answer.

We can see that if the denominator is lower which means that either population decreases or remains constant when the GDP has increased then the the growth in the per capita GDP will be higher because minute increases in the GDP will increase the answer with significant percentages.
