The answer is: cutting out the middleman (D)

Explanation: cutting out the expenses of the middleman will be the most effective way to reduce distribution costs that is because the commission that is given to that middleman will be saved by the business and the business can then use that money elsewhere. The other options cannot be the right answer because they are needed by the business for effective distribution.

In 2012, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $300 each. Variable expenses were $210per unit, and fixed expenses were $120,000. Th

Answer:

Teller's break-even point in sales dollars for 2012 is $400,000

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break even point in dollars is shown below:

Break even point (in dollars) = (Fixed expenses) ÷ (contribution ratio)

where,

Fixed expense is $120,000

And, the contribution ratio equals to

= (Contribution per unit) ÷ (sales per unit) × 100

where,

Contribution is = Selling price - variable cost per unit

= $300 - $210

= $90 per unit

Now put the values to the above formula

So, the ratio would be

= ($90 per unit) ÷ ($300 per unit) × 100

= 30%

Now put the values to the above formula

So, the value would be

= $120,000 ÷ 30%

= $400,000

If the equilibrium price of avocados is $4 and the government issues a price ceiling of $4.50, what is likely to happen in the m

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A surplus of avocados will result from the price ceiling.

Explanation:

A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a good or service.

A price ceiling is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.

The price ceiling ($4.50) is less than the equilibrium price ($4) of avocados. As a result, surplus would increase. The supply of avocados would exceed the demand because price ceiling is above equilibrium price

sveta [45]

Answer: A. Speech of delivery

Explanation:

When buying things like software, there are certain things that will determine the value apart from the monetary price. These include the ease of installation and the availability of training assistance.

With ease of installation, the fundamental question is if the software is easy or complicated to install. The easier it is the better. Also is there someone who can help the users be able to master the features of the software. This is availability of training assistance.

Now while speech of delivery can help in convincing Hayden to buy from a particular shop, it does not contribute to the value of the software.

What's the estimated length of a wall that has 31 studs 16 inches on center?

devlian [24]

Answer:

480 inches (40 feet)

Explanation:

Studs are boards placed on walls so as to support the walls. Studs are used in framing the wall and they are vertical.

Studs are usually spaced on walls with wall framing at either 16 inches on center, 19 inches on center or 24 inches on centers.

Given that on center spacing = 16 inches, number of studs = 31

The length of the wall is given by the formula:

number of studs = (length of wall in inches / on center spacing in inches) + 1

Length of wall (inches) = (number of studs - 1) * on center spacing

hence:

Length of wall (inches) = (31 - 1) * 16 inches = 480 inches

Length of wall = 480 inches = 40 feet
