Answer:

C) the best workers may leave before the organization lays off anyone

Explanation:

Downsizing is something very challenging and specially difficult to perform. Many times, downsizing may reduce costs, but it also reduces total revenue and profits due to a loss in productivity and efficiency.

For example, once the company announces that it will start to downsize their workforce, many of the most efficient and productive workers may simply decide to leave the company and search for new jobs. When a company starts to lay off employees, no one is really 100% that they will not be fired, therefore most of the employees will start to actively seek other jobs. The most efficient and productive employees are also the most likely to find new jobs and they may decide to leave the company before getting fired.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

$81 approx

Explanation:

Contribution margin refers to sales receipts in excess of variable costs incurred. This represents contribution from a product earned which is after variable costs have been incurred.

<u>Product A</u>

Selling price per unit = $88

Variable cost per unit = $38

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Contribution margin per unit = $88 - $38 = $50

Similarly, for <u>product B</u>,

Contribution margin per unit = $143 - $47= $96

<u>Products         Weights            Contribution        Weighted contribution</u>

A                       0.32                    50                            16

B                       <u>0.68</u>                    96                            <u>65.28</u>

                         1.00                                                     81.28

Hence, weighted average contribution margin is $81.28 or $81 approx

nekit [7.7K]

Answer: $222,800

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $427,000

Cost of goods sold (all variable) = $173,400

Total variable selling expense = $21,200

Total fixed selling expense = $18,900

Total variable administrative expense = $9,600

Total fixed administrative expense = $36,300

Variable expenses:

= Cost of goods sold + Variable selling expense + Variable administrative expense

= $173,400 + $21,200 + $9,600

= $204,200

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expenses

                                  = $427,000 - $204,200  

                                 = $222,800

A stock had returns of 18.58%, -5.58%, and 20.81% for the past three years. What is the variance of returns?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Variance = 0.02141851

Explanation:

We first calculate the mean for the stocks

Mean = (0.1858 - 0.0558 + 0.2081) / 3

Mean = 0.3381 / 3

Mean = 0.1127

Variance = [(0.1858 - 0.1127)^2 + (- 0.0558 - 0.1127)^2 + (0.2081 - 0.1127)^2] / 3 -1

Variance = [0.0731^2 + (-0.1685^2) + 0.0954^2] / 2

Variance = 0.00534361 + 0.02839225 + 0.00910116 / 2

Variance = 0.04283702 / 2

Variance = 0.02141851

The variance of returns is 0.02141851

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The owner thinks that 10,000 pizzas could be sold per month by cutting the selling price per pizza from $ 5.50 a pizza to $ 5.00.

Total revenues – Total costs = Monthly profit 5,000 pizzas 13750 – 8000 =

I will assume that at $5.50 the total sales in units are 5000. And that the variable cost per unit is $2.75 ($13750/5000) and fixed cost are $8000

Actual profit= (5000*5.5- 5000*2.75) - 8000= $5750

New price profit= (10000*5 - 10000*2.75) - 8000= $14500
