Answer:

D) is 20% above expectations.

Explanation:

The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Subcultural

Explanation:

Consumer behaviour refers to how individuals make decisions on ways to spend their available resources, time, money, and effort on variety of items.

Culture is considered an external factor that influences consumer behavior. Since different cultures have different values, they will have different buying habits. A typical example is the Jewish people that purchase about 63% of bagels that is sold in New York City.

a. Contribution format income statement segmented by divisions

Division                            Total Company        East      Central        West

Sales                                   $ 1,509,000   $389,000  $600,000  $520,000

Variable expenses                   567,040      217,840      162,000      187,200

Contribution margin                 941,960     $171,160   $438,000   $332,800

Traceable fixed expenses      822,000  $283,000   $336,000  $203,000

Non-traceable fixed expense  214,000

Net operating income (loss) $ (94,040)   ($111,840)   $102,000  $129,800

b. If the marketing department's proposal is implemented, the net operating loss will decrease by $38,232, i.e from $94,040 to $55,808.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Wingate's most recent monthly contribution format income statement:

Sales                                   $ 1,509,000

Variable expenses                   567,040

Contribution margin                 941,968

Fixed expenses                     1,036,000

Net operating income (loss) $ (94,040)

Additional information:

Division                                 Central       East          West

Sales                                   $389,000  $600,000  $520,000

Variable expenses as a

 percentage of sales                 56%           27%           36%

Traceable fixed expenses $283,000  $336,000 $203,000

Increase in Division West's fixed expenses by $25,000

Expected increase in Division West's sales = 19%
