Answer:

The answer is a): 38%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Contribution margin ratio is a ratio of the difference between sales and variable costs/expenses, to the sales; it can be expressed in percentage.

Sales = $425,000

Variable costs = 62% of $425,000 = 62 × $425,000 ÷ 100 = $263,500 .

The difference between sales and variable cost = $425,000 — $263,500 = $161,500 .

Therefore, the contribution margin ratio = $161,500 ÷ $425,000 = 0.38

The contribution margin ratio expressed in percentage = 0.38 × 100 = 38% .

In an internal operating income statement, the form is as such:

(1) Sales (or Revenue) - Total Variable Costs = Contribution Margin;

(2) Contribution Margin - Total Fixed Costs = Operating Income

and

(3) Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

The first equation helps us out. Sales is the whole amount for this statement, or 100%. We know variable costs are 62% and the rest goes to the Cont. Margin.

100% - 68% = 32% (choice A)

The formula p=f/a can be used to relate pressure, force and area. solve the formula for a
Gemiola [76]
<h3>Answer:   a = f/p</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

We'll solve for 'a' doing these two steps in this exact order

  1. Multiply both sides by 'a'
  2. Divide both sides by p

We do this because we're following PEMDAS in reverse to isolate the variable we want.

The steps look like this

p = f/a

pa = f

a = f/p

Note how ultimately the 'a' and p variables swap places when going from p = f/a to a = f/p

On the subway 8 out of 11 people are carrying a briefcase.Based on this information, if there are 700 people on the subway, then
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

191 people do not have a briefcase

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two ratios or fraction are equal  

As per the given condition:

On the subway 8 out of 11 people are carrying a briefcase.

⇒Total number of people = 11

and number of people carrying a briefcase = 8

Remaining number of people that do not carrying a briefcase = 11-8 = 3

Now,

Based on this information, if there are 700 people on the subway

Let x be the number of people do not have a briefcase

By definition of proportion :

\frac{3}{11} = \frac{x}{700}

Multiply 700 both sides, we have

\frac{3}{11} \times 700 = x

Simplify:

x = 190.90≈ 191

Therefore, 191 people do not have a briefcase

A runner compared how long it took him to run 200 meters to the record time held by a friend. In his first heat, his time was 2.
Rasek [7]

Answer: it took him 0.075 seconds lesser

Step-by-step explanation:

In his first heat, his time was 2.45 seconds greater than his friend's record time. In his second heat, his time was 2 3/8 seconds greater than his friend's record time. Converting 2 3/8 seconds to decimal, it becomes 2.375 seconds

Therefore, he was fastest in the second heat.

The difference between the time he used to run in the second heat than in the first heat is

2.45 - 2.375 = 0.075 seconds
