Answer: 1250

Explanation:

Let's go in stages,

Gizmos are sold for $80 and have a variable cost of $36. Subtracting that would give us $44. This is the Contribution margin of Gizmos.

Gadgets are sold for $50 and have a variable cost of $22. Subtracting that would give us $28. This is the Contribution margin of Gadgets.

The text says that 3/4 of goods sold are Gizmos with the rest being gadgets.

Let's account for that using their contribution margins.

This means that Gizmos contribute 3/4 from their CM which we'll calculate as,

= 3/4 * 44

= 33

Gadgets would be

= 1/4 * 28

= 7

The Weighted Average contribution margin for both goods in their selling proportion is therefore,

= 33 + 7

= $40

If they make $40 as the weighted average CM then to find the amount of units needed to break even with a fixed cost of $50,000 can be calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the Weighted Average CM which would be,

= 50,000/40

= 1250

They would need to sell 1250 total units in order to break even with a product mix of 3/4 Gizmos and 1/4 Gadgets.

Please do react or comment if you need any clarification. Thank you.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

a. Staffing the organization, building core competencies, and structuring the organization and work effort

Explanation:

Staffing is the management function undertaken with an objective to hire right people for the most suitable job position, and keeping filled organizational positions throughout.

A core competency refers to those unique capabilities an organization builds over time owing to innovation, creativity or efficient resource management, which yields competitive advantage to the organization. A core competency cannot be easily imitated by the rival firms and provides competitive edge to the firm who possesses it.

Organizational structure would define the hierarchy and define reporting responsibilities of it's employees, the extent of delegation of tasks and the organizational culture.

Thus for an organization to be capable of executing good strategy, the above three are a requisite.
