Answer:

30%

Explanation:

The computation of the profit margin is shown below:

Given that

Net income earned for the month of October = $3,000

And, the net sales for the month of October is $10,000

Based on the above information, the profit margin is

= Net income ÷ Net sales

= $3,000 ÷ $10,000

= 30%

By dividing the net income from the net sales we can get the profit margin and the same is to be considered

Marsha’s Pet Store employs six employees. Their duties are to sell pets, replenish the stock, keep the pets’ cages clean, feed t

Gemiola [76]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

People sometimes have a tendency of doing only what they are told to do or only what they are paid for. This is why most people who progress in a company do so on the basis of having done work that was not in their description, but would have helped the company progress.

It would appear that Marsha's 6 employees are all of the caliber of employees who just do what they are told and nothing more.

For this reason therefore, she would include a stipulation changing the scheme to include careful performance of the other duties before any sales commission can be earned. This way they'll start to do those other things since they are now paid to do so.

Tim Urban, owner/manager of Urban's Motor Court in Key West, is considering outsourcing the daily room cleanup for his motel to

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Based on the given information related to costs for each of the options, the crossover point for Tim = 6,000 room nights (round your response to the nearest whole number). If the number of room nights is less than the crossover point, then OUTSOURCING (Duffy's Maid Service) is the best option available to Tim. Based on the given room nights that Tim expects to rent (18, 250), the best option is to keep doing the service INSOURCING (doing it himself).

Explanation:

Currently, before outsourcing, Tim's total cost = $228,125 + $61,000 = $289,125. On average, he spends $15.84247 per room.

The Duffy's Maid Service offer would represent a total cost of $337,625 + $25,000 = $362,625 for the same occupation level.

the crossover point for Tim:

12.5x + 61,000 = 18.5x + 25,000

36,000 = 6x

x = 6,000 room nights

(6,000 x 12.50) + 61,000 = (6,000 x 18.50) + 25,000 = $136,000

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

(a) -7783

(b) 6800

(c) -983

Explanation:

According to the given values in the question:

(a)

The price variance will be:

= $(8.5-8.93)\times 18100$

= $-0.43\times 18100$

= $-7783$ (Favorable)

(b)

The quantity variance will be:

= $(2100\times 9-18100)\times 8.5$

= $(18900-18100)\times 8.5$

= $800\times 8.5$

= $6800$ (Unfavorable)

(c)

The cost variance will be:

= $(2100\times 9\times 8.5)-(18100\times 8.93)$

= $(160650)-(161633)$

= $-983$ (Favorable)

A newspaper story on the effect of higher milk prices on the market for ice cream contained the following: "As a result [of the

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for icecream is -0.75, that means that is inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the porcentage of the change in the demand when there is a change in the price. If the change in porcentage of the demand is less than the pocentage of change in the price we talk about inelastic demand. An increase in the price of inelastic goods will result in bigger revenues, as the porcentage in the drop of sales is less than the porcentage of increase in the price.

The formula is: % in change demand/% in change of price

-3%/4= -0.75

The minus symbol indicates that when the price rises the demand decrease.
