tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The level of sales in units is 7,400

Explanation:

The computation of the level of sales in units is shown below:

= (Fixed cost + target income) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

= ($286,200 + $106,000) ÷ ($163 per unit - $110 per unit)

= $392,200 ÷ $53 per unit

= 7,400 units

The Contribution margin per unit is

= Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The correct answer would be, The Canadian Airline would have used Lost Customer Recovery Strategy.

Explanation:

When the sales of the Canadian Airline declines, they surveyed their target market which is Business Class Travelers. From the responses of the customers, they found out that customers feel bounded by the staff of the airplane. They think that they were totally controlled by the staff on board.

If staff salaries were $44,000/month last year, and the yearly cost increase from last year to this year $108,000, what is the m

andre [41]

Answer:

The monthly labor cost this year=$53,000

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine yearly cost of labor last year

T=C×N

where;

T=total cost of labor last year

C=labor cost per month

N=number of months in a year

In our case;

T=unknown, to be determined

C=$44,000 per month

N=12 months

Replacing;

T=(44,000×12)=$528,000

Step 2: Determine yearly cost of labor this year

This years cost of labor can be expressed as;

Y=T+I

where;

Y=this year's labor cost

T=last years labor cost

I=the increase in cost from last year to this year

In our case;

Y=unknown to be determined

T=$528,000

I=$108,000

Replacing;

Y=(528,000+108,000)=$636,000

Step 3: Determine monthly cost of labor for this year

Monthly labor cost this year=this years labor cost/number of months in a year

where;

Monthly labor cost this year=unknown to be determined

this years labor cost=$636,000

number of months in a year=12

Replacing;

Monthly labor cost this year=(636,000/12)=$53,000

The monthly labor cost this year=$53,000

To get to a remote village, you have to cross a wooden bridge that spans a deep chasm. concerned about the structural integrity

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

B) accept no unnecessary risk

Explanation:

Operational risk management (ORM) clearly states that you should only accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost. ORM was developed by the US Department of Defense in order to reduce operational risk. Operational risk is usually not contemplated by traditional management since the risk of being murdered and utterly destroyed is not common for civilians, but is a constant risk during military operations.

The four basic principles of ORM include:

Accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost.
Accept no unnecessary risk: in this case, trying to cross the river using an unstable and poorly built bridge is an unnecessary risk.
Anticipate and manage risk by planning.
Make risk decisions in the right time at the right level.
