Answer:

100% plan

Explanation:

The 100% plan is when the agent doesn't have a base salary and the job pay depends completely on the comission for selling products. This compensation plan provides a big earning potential and the agent is an independent contractor and would have to cover costs of advertising and promotions. Because of that, the answer is that the type of compensation plan in which the agent is responsible for the costs of advertising and promotion is the 100% plan because the agent is not considered an employee and only receives the comission and has to cover the costs associated with advertising and promotion.

olganol [36]

Answer:

a. 5.37%

b. 5.08%

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate net profit before return on stockholder's equity

Sales. $4,430,000

Net income % on sales 2%

Net income. $88,600

We will also calculate total stockholder's equity

Sales. $4,430,000

Asset turnover ratio. 4.5

Total assets. $984,444

Less: current liab. ($167,000)

Less: long term liab. ($342,000)

Total stockholder's. $475,444

equity

a. Return on stockholder's equity

= Total stockholder's equity ÷ Net income

= $475,444 ÷ $88,600

= 5.37%

b. New return on stockholder's equity

Total assets $984,444

× Asset turnover ratio. 4.75

New total sales. $4,676,109

Net income % sales. 2%

Net income $93,522

Recall that total stockholder's equity = $475,444

Net income = $93,522

Therefore, New return on stockholder's

equity = Total stockholder's equity / Net income

= $475,444 ÷ $93,522

= 5.08%

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

4,800 bottles

Explanation:

The formula to compute the number of bottles sold is shown below:

= (Fixed cost + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

= $15 - $13.50

= $1.50

So, the number of bottles sold equal to

= ($3,200 + $4,000) ÷ ($1.50)

= 4,800 bottles

The cost, in dollars, to produce x designer dog leashes is C ( x ) = 8 x + 3 , and the price-demand function, in dollars per lea

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Profit maximising price = 48

Explanation:

Total Cost : C (x) = 8x + 3

Demand Curve : p (x) = 88 − 2x

Total Revenue = p (x). x = x (88 - 2x) = 88x - 2x^2

Profit maximisation is where Marginal Cost (MC) = Marginal Revenue (MR)

MC = d TC / d Q = d (8x + 3) / d x = 8

MR = d TR / d Q = d (88x - 2x^2) / d x = 88 - 4x

Equating MR & MC ,

88 - 4x = 8 , 88 - 8 = 4x

x = 80 / 4 , x = 20

Putting value in demand curve,

p = 88 - 2x = 88 - 2 (20) = 88 - 40

p = 48

Answer:

Direct, upward sloping

Explanation:

Supply refers to the quantities of goods or services that firms are willing to sell to the markets are a specific price. As per the law of supply, an increase in prices leads to an increase in the quantity supplied. Therefore, the relationship between the price and quantity supplied is direct. Firms prefer to supply more products to the markets at higher prices because they will make more profits.

The supply curve is a graphical presentation of the relationship between price and quantity supplied. The supply curve is upward sloping. It originates from the bottom left corner, showing how quantities vary along the curve at different prices. Quantity supplied increases as the price rise.
