3. Medical market
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) if it implemented the advertising campaign in the MEDICAL MARKET
First is to calculate the sales
Sales = (400 000 + 70 000)
Sales = $470 000
Second step is to calculate the profit
Variable cost =$470 000 *65%
Variable cost=$305 500
Contribution =$470 000*35%
Contribution =$164,500
Fixed Expense= $28 000
Profit = $ 136,500
Now let calculate the Difference made by advertisement
Difference = 136500 - 120000
Difference=16500
2. Calculation to determine How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) if it implemented the advertising campaign in the
DENTAL MARKET
vcr Of The Dental market = 50%

Fixed expenses = $60 000
Profit = $70000
Now let determine difference made by the advertisement
Difference =(70000) - 48000
Difference= 22000
3. Based On the above calculation the markets I would recommend that the company focus its advertising campaign is medical market
Answer:
a) $1,000
Explanation:
Early Settlement Discount
This form of quotation is common with suppliers offering their customers deferred payment arrangement in a sale contract. Usually, under this arrangement customers are allowed to purchase goods on credit and settle their acccount at a specified later date.
However, to encourage customers to pay up their outstanding earlier than expected, suppliers do offer early settlement discount as incentives to induce prompt payment.
A quotation of 2/10, n/30
This implies that the customer is a given a 30-day period from the date of purchase within which he is expected to settle his account. However, if he does so within the next 10 days of purchase he will be given a 2% discount.
<em>Applying this to the question, the purchase date is August 1, the the latest date for which account is settle to qualify for early settlement discount will be 11 days i.e (1+10) .</em>
Since the payment will be made on August 12, no cash discount will received. Therefore, a payment of gross amount of $1,000 would be credited to the cash account.
Answer:
AC Problems : Incurred even at 0 output level, much varying & deviant from cash flows
VC Problems : Doesn't include fixed cost, incomplete expenditure, incomplete financial (accounting) statements.
Explanation:
Average Cost is the cost per unit off output.
Problems with AC as a performance measure :
- It includes all (fixed & variable cost) average. So, including fixed cost, it is not zero even at zero output level.
- It's variance analysis during production & cost phases is very complicated.
- It's result are deviant as evident from cash flows.
Variable Cost is the cost incurred on variable factors of production.
Problems with VC as a performance measure :
- It doesn't include fixed cost. So, it is not a correct measure of complete total expenditure.
- Fixed costs are huge. No financial inclusion of them makes accounting information unreliable (for legal purposes)
<span>In the insurance market, this is referred to as adverse selection. Adverse selection is simply just a situation where the seller has information that the buyer does not have about an aspect of the product or its quality, or vice versa. When it comes to insurance, adverse selection is the likelihood of those who preform dangerous jobs or are high risk to get life insurance.</span>
Answer:
The fixed costs are too high. The marginal cost generally represents variable costs and they might be very low, but if the fixed costs are simply too high, they will need to increase the price of the plane tickets in order to break even. The break even formula is calculated by dividing total fixed costs by marginal revenue (selling price - variable costs).
