Answer: Lack of control over valuable assets
Explanation: In simple words, vertical integration refers to a process under which an organisation combines two or more stages of production which were previously performed by any other company.
The vertical integration is done where the company wants to get more hold on its supply chain with the ultimate objective of having better control over valuable assets.
Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is C.
Answer:
Increase in income= $550,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs per unit:
Manufacturing $60
If a special pricing order is accepted for 5,500 sails at a sales price of $ 160 per unit
Because there is no change in the fixed costs and there are no variable selling and administrative costs, the effect on income will be equal to the change in total contribution margin.
Total contribution margin= number of units* (selling price - unitary variable cost
Total contribution margin change= 5,500* (160 - 60)= $550,000
Increase in income= $550,000
