The correct answer is D. Conducting effective market research

Explanation:

Surveys and focus groups are common research methods used by producers (people that create products) to collect information about customers. In the case of surveys, this method involves asking questions to a group of people to know their opinions and preferences; for example, a producer of clothes can use a survey to ask people about preferred materials. On the other hand, a focus group implies a small group of people discussing a common topic; for example, a producer of a cleaning product can use a focus group to know what customers think about the product.

These two strategies are used to conduct market research, this means the information obtained from surveys and focus groups is used to create plans and strategies to effectively advertise products or solve a problem related to this area. Thus, the purpose of using surveys and focus groups is "conducting effective market research".

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

25th house's Marginal cost is $250,000.

Explanation:

Given:

Total cost of 24 houses = $4,800,000

Total cost of 25 houses = $5,050,000

Marginal cost = ?

Computation of marginal cost:

Marginal cost = Change in total cost

Marginal cost = Total cost of 25 houses - Total cost of 24 houses

Marginal cost = $5,050,000 - $4,800,000

Marginal cost = $250,000

So, we say that 25th house's marginal cost will be $250,000 .

Using FIFO for Multiproduct Inventory Transactions (Chapters 6 and 7) [LO 6-3, LO 6-4, LO 7-3] Skip to question [The following i
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180

1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500

1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = 72.86%

1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = 83.33%

2-a. Tag yields more dollars of profit.

2-b. Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.

Explanation:

Note: The requirements for this question are two not three as erroneously stated. This is because, the first and the third question are the same. Therefore, the two relevant requirements of the question are:

1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.

2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.

Sales revenue from tags = Sales value of 160 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 8 at a price of $30 per tag + Sales value of 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 at a price of $30 per tag = (160 * $30) + (260 * $30) = $12,600

Sales revenue from cases = Sales value of 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120 * $15 = $1,800

Total number of tags sold = 160 tags mailed to customers + 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 = 420

Total number of cases sold = 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120

Using FIFO, we have:

Cost of tags sold = Value of 260 tags purchased on Jan.2 from Xioasi Manufacturing (XM) at a cost of $7 per tag + Value of the remaining 160 (i.e. 420 – 260 = 160) tags sold based on the 360 tags purchased on Jan. 11 from XM at a cost of $10 per tag = (260 * $7) + (160 * $10) = $3,420

Cost of cases sold = Value of 60 cases purchased on Jan.4 from Bachittar Products (BP) at a cost of $2 per case + Value of the remaining 60 cases sold based on the 160 cases purchased on Jan. 14 from BP at a cost of $3 per case = (60 * $2) + (60 * $3) = $300

Therefore, we have:

1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = Sales revenue from tags - Cost of tags sold = $12,600 - $3,420 = $9,180

1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = Sales revenue from cases - Cost of cases sold = $1,800 - $300 = $1,500

1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = (Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Sales revenue from tags) * 100 = ($9,180 / $12,600) * 100 = 72.86%

1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = (Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Sales revenue from cases) * 100 = 83.33%

2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?

2-a. Which product line yields more dollars of profit?

From part 1 above, we have:

Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180

Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500

Since the dollars of gross profit from selling tags of $9,180 is greater than the dollars of gross profit from selling cases of $1,500, this implies that Tag yields more dollars of profit.

2-b. Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?

From part 1 above, we have:

Total number of tags sold = 420

Total number of cases sold = 120

Therefore, we have:

Tag's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Total number of tags sold = $9,180 / 420 = $21.86

Case's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Total number of cases sold = $1,500 / 120 = $12.50

Since Tag's profit per dollar of sales of $21.86 is greater than Case's profit per dollar of sales of $12.50, this implies that Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.
