Answer:

Contribution margin per pound

K1  - $16.90

S5 - $8.60

G9  - $10.40

Explanation:

Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

The contribution margin per pound for each of the three products is the ratio of the contribution margin per unit of a product to the number of pounds required per unit of that product.

Why might a rise in the price of electric razors result in an increase in demand for nonelectric razors?
k0ka [10]
<span>A rise in the price of electric razors result in an increase in demand for nonelectric razors because consumers would rather choose to buy a product with lower cost having the same effect as compared to the product with the higher price.

Suppose all the producers sell toasters through Wal-Mart, and WalMart lets producers choose from 2 options. With Option A, a pro
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

1. A low-quality producer will not provide any warranty, because he knows there will be more warranty claims.

He will choose option B.

Example:

Option B:

Toaster sell 100

Price $10

Sales = $1000

Profit = $100 (let's say it costs him $9 to make it).

Toaster sell 35 (as 5 times high price).

Price $49

Sales = $1725

Warranty Expense (let's say, due to multiple times claims) = $1500

Profit = -$90 (let's say it costs him $9 to make it).

2. A high-quality producer will provide any warranty because he knows there will be very very few warranty claims.

He will choose option B.

3. Yes, the act of offering free warranty will go a long way in conveying a positive signal to customers that the brand is providing quality product & it trusts its product.

On January 1, 2013, Goll Corp. issued 3,000 of its 10%, $1,000 bonds for $3,120,000. These bonds were to mature on January 1, 20
LiRa [457]

Answer:

$24,000 Gain

Explanation:

Given that,

Bonds issued = 3,000

Par value = $1,000

Value of issued bonds = $3,120,000

Goll's gain in 2018 on this early extinguishment of debt:

= Issue price of bonds - Premium amortized - Callable value

= $3,120,000 - [($3,120,000 - $3,000,000) × 11/20] - (3,000 × $1,000 × 1.01)

= $3,120,000 - $66,000 - $3,030,000

= $24,000 Gain
