Answer:

New operating income= -$38,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sporty

Sales revenue= $130,000

Variable expenses= ($118,000)

Contribution margin= 12,000

Fixed expenses= (​38,000)

Operating income​= (26,000)

The general rule is that as long as the contribution margin is positive, in the short term the product line should continue. We will prove this.

Because none of the fixed costs are evitable, the effect on income will be the increase in the influence of the fixed costs on income.

Effect on income= -positive contribution margin

Effect on income= -$12,000

New operating income= -26,000 - 12,000= -$38,000

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

D.) debit Supplies Expense. $5,500; credit Supplies, $5,500

Explanation:

First, let's talk about the amount.

On June 2 they purchased supplies worth $6,500 and recorded it as an ASSET. Debited on "Supplies" Account

Then on June 30, only $1,000 is on hand. That means that $5,500 worth of supplies must have been used (Solved as 6,500 less 1,000)

Now, the entry should reduce the "Supplies" Account since there were only $1,000 left. So it's correct to credit Supplies for $5,500 to reduce $6,500 into $1,000 worth.

The corresponding debit would consequently be "Supplies Expense" since $5,500 worth of supplies was used for the month.

Dropping small hints to let this employee know that his or her behavior is bothering you.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The statement has to be classified as very effective or very ineffective.

The correct answer is:

Very ineffective

Explanation:

The word effective means "something that results in the desired effect", therefore, ineffective means the opposite "something that does not result in the disired effect".

In this case, the desired effect is to modify the employee's behaviour. If we as employers drop small hints about what is bothering us, the employee may not be able to understand what we mean, and continue behaving in the same manner.

It is more effective to have clear, straightforward communication in the workplace. If an employee behaviour is bothering us, we should simply communicate it in a direct and respectful manner.

suter [353]

Answer: B. No. Imposing a price control below the equilibrium price in a market causes the quantity of the good available to consumers to fall because sellers will supply a smaller​ quantity, thereby causing some consumers to go without food that they would have been able to buy in the absence of the price control.

Explanation:

If price controls are introduced below the equilibrium price in the market, farmers or sellers will supply less to the market because they will not be incentivized to produce more seeing as they are not making what they should be making.

This, coupled with increased demand on account of food being cheaper, will lead to shortages which would mean that those that could have been able to afford the food at the equilibrium price would not be able to access food leading to even worse food shortages.
