Answer and explanation:
a.
the table below shows the impact of dropping beta product
Loss of Contribution Margin if Beta is Dropped (75,000*64) -$4,800,000
Traceable Fixed Manufacturing Overhead (123,000*33) $4,059,000
Incremental Contribution Margin from Additional Alpha Sales (15,000*72)
$1,080,000
Increase in Net Operating Income if Beta is Dropped $339,000
Notes:
Contribution Margin Per Unit (Beta) = 150 (Selling Price) - 15 (Direct Material) - 28 (Direct Labor) - 20 (Variable Manufacturing Overhead) - 23 (Variable Selling Expenses) = $64 per unit
Contribution Margin Per Unit (Alpha) = 195 (Selling Price) - 40 (Direct Material) - 34 (Direct Labor) - 22 (Variable Manufacturing Overhead) - 27 (Variable Selling Expenses) = $72 per unit

Answer:
B) always downward sloping.
Explanation:
The demand curve for normal goods is always downward sloping because of a combination of three factors:
- the purchasing power of the customers decrease and if the price of a product increases, consumers will be able to buy less even if they don't want to
- consumer surplus decreases since the difference between how much a consumer is wiling to pay for the good and its actual price decreases or even becomes negative, so they will not be willing to purchase it
- as the price of normal goods increases, consumers will tend to increase the quantity demanded for substitute products
Answer:
B) $4.67
Explanation:
By definition marginal revenue is the revenue generated by the sale of one more unit of product Z.
Marginal revenue = unit price
Since firm X participates in a perfectly competitive market, it is a price taker, and since the marginal revenue is constant, we can assume that this is the equilibrium price of product Z.
