Answer:

A business can improve its average contribution ratio and its overall profitability, by shifting its sales mix to include more products with high contribution margin ratios.

In this case American steel company shift in product mix is due to a higher proportion of export sales. This shift caused to decline net income of the company. This is because the contribution margin ratio on export sales may lower than the other product mix. So, the shift of product mix to low contribution sales will cause to decline the net income.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The correct answer that fills the gaps are: constant ; increasing.

Explanation:

GDP per capita, income per capita or income per capita is an economic indicator that measures the relationship between the level of income of a country and its population. For this, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of said territory is divided by the number of inhabitants.

The use of per capita income as an indicator of wealth or economic stability of a territory makes sense because through its calculation national income is interrelated (through GDP in a specific period) and the inhabitants of this place.

The objective of GDP per capita is to obtain data that somehow shows the level of wealth or well-being of that territory at a given time. It is often used as a measure of comparison between different countries, to show differences in economic conditions.

Under which conditions is price elasticity of supply relatively elastic or relatively inelastic?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1. Firms are operating in the short run  - relatively inelastic

2. Firms would have a hard time storing their goods  - relatively inelastic

3. Firms have a large amount of excess capacity  - relatively elastic

4. Firms can easily relocate from one location to another - relatively elastic.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply is less in the short run than in the long run. In the short run supplier does not have enough time to adjust the production level so supply is inelastic. The firms facing hard to store their goods then the supply is inelastic. If the firm has spare capacity available then the supply is relatively elastic because supplier can produce more if the demand is greater.  The mobility factor also effects elasticity, if firm can easily relocate itself then the supply is elastic.
