Answer:

a.

A,B,C

b.

1,100 units of Product A and 1,079 units of Product B

c.

Total Contribution Margin $37,106

Explanation:

Product                                     A             B             C

Selling price                            $68.00    $35.00   $52.00

Variable cost per unit             $48.00    $21.00    $44.00

Contribution Margin               $20.00    $14.00    $8.00

Direct labor hours per unit     1.8            2.8          1.9

Contribution per labor Hour $11.11       $5.00     $4.21        

Demand                                   1,100       1,900      2,100

Numbers of Hours Required  1,980      5,320     3,990

Production should be prioritize based on contribution margin per labour hour, because labor hours is a scarce resource and decision should be made considering the benefit on each hour.

The order Should be A,B,C

We should Sale the 1,100 unit of Product A because it has maximum per labor hour contribution and 1,079 units of Product B.

Labor Hour available for Product B and C = 5,000 - 1,980 = 3,020 hours

All of these will be used for Product B

Number of Unit to be sold = 3,020 / 2.8 = 1,079 units

Total Contribution Margin = (1,100 x 20) + (1,079 x 14) = $22,000 + $15,106 = $37,106

Which of the following is a likely reason for choosing FDI instead of licensing?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

FDI is an investment in the business through an investor from another country and control is with the foreign investor over the company purchased.

Licensing means all the contracts to which the third part has granted or licensed any right to its subsidiaries or company.

So, the reason for preferring FDI instead of license is sharing the intellectual know how with the foreign rival might be risky as this is a limitation in licensing.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:D.$14,100 gain

Explanation:

The par value of a bond is $100 when it's issued below the price it's issued at a discount which is a loss to the firm and when it's issued above the par value, it's issued at a premium which is a gain.

The issue of $705,000 means 7050 numbers were issued and retiring it $102 means at a premium of $2 per bond and a total of N14,100 gain.
