Answer:

A. Shut down immediately, as the firm is not able to cover all of its variable costs.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, the company contribution is negative. Even at maximum revenue it cannot cover the variable cost needed to produce this revenue. Therefore, is not possible to make a gross profit to afford the rest of the cost. Currently, the company has their fixed cost and the loss from operations.

If it shut down, it will stop the loss from operations and only leave the fixed cost.

Strategic planning starts with a _____ that reflects a firm’s vision, purpose, and values.
ivann1987 [24]

Strategic planning starts with a mission statement that reflects a firm’s vision, purpose, and values.

Strategic Planning Process: Strategic planning is the process of identifying long-term organizational goals, strategies, and resources, focusing on the horizon more than three years away.

Most large companies rely on one person to evaluate system requirements rather than relying on a system review committee. When assessing the feasibility of a schedule, systems analysts need to consider the trade-off between time and cost.

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) components can provide automated responses to sales inquiries, online order processing, and inventory tracking values.

Benjamin Garcia's start-up business is succeeding, but he needs $210,000 in additional funding to fund continued growth. Benjami
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Missing word <em>"Because the stock will be sold directly to an investor, there is no spread; the other flotation costs are insignificant"</em>

<em />

Fair Price is based on the current valuation of business and that is $840,000 in this case.

Fair Price = Current Value of Business/Number of Outstanding Shares

Fair Price = $840,000 / 37,000 shares

Fair Price = 22.7027027

Fair Price = $22.70.

Number of Additional Shares = Additional Funding Required/Fair Price Per Share =

Number of Additional Shares = $210,000 / $22.70

Number of Additional Shares = 9251.101321585903

Number of Additional Shares = 9251 shares

So, since additional funding of $210,000 is required, Benjamin will have to sell 9,251 shares as additional shares to the Angel.
