Answer:

the total contribution margin if Bricktan chooses the most profitable sales mix is $27,000,000

Explanation:

It is important to note that the limiting factor identified is the production hours.

<em>Step 1 Calculate Contribution per limiting factor of each product</em>

Basic

1 unit requires 0.1 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

                                                    = $15/0.10

                                                    = $150

Classic

1 unit requires 0.125 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

                                                    = $25/0.125

                                                    = $200

Deluxe

1 unit requires 0.25 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

                                                    = $55/0.25

                                                    = $220

<em>Step 2 Rank the products </em>

1st = Deluxe

2nd = Classic

3rd = Basic

<em>Step 3 Determine the production mix</em>

Product                  Total hours demanded                Balance

Capacity                                                                       134,000

Deluxe                   (230,000×0.25) =  57,500             76,500

Classic                   (508,000×0.125) = 63,500             13,000

Basic                      (130,000×0.1)     =  13,000                  0

<em>Step 4 Calculate total contribution</em>

Deluxe                   (230,000×$55) =  12,650,000          

Classic                   (508,000×$25) =  12,700,000            

Basic                      (130,000×$15)   =  1,650,000

Total                                                 =  27,000,000

victus00 [196]

Answer:<u><em> Elle's coffee has lots of close substitutes while coffee has few substitutes, so the demand for Elle's coffee is more elastic than the market demand for coffee.</em></u>

Here, it can be seen that when Elle's Espresso Bar raised its price by 10​ percent, the quantity of coffee that Elle sold decreased by 40 percent, whereas when Elle and all her competitors cut their prices by 10​ percent, the quantity of coffee sold by Elle increased by only 4 percent.

∴<em><u> The demand for Elle's coffee is more elastic than the market demand for coffee.</u></em>

Alex787 [66]

From the described case in the question, it is clear that Frank believes in doctrine called at-will employment or employment at-will.

At-will employment is a <u>U.S term used for a condition where an employee can be fired at anytime and without any warning as long as the reason isn’t illegal by law</u>.

This type of doctrine is no longer the main doctrine used in most U.S states by the 20th century, but it was commonplace during the late 19th century.
