Answer:

Net Operating Income rises by $10,000 when Fashion Boots is discontinued.

Explanation:

Current operating profit for Boots Plus = $45,000

that is $65,000 profit from Hiking and $20,000 losses from Fashion

In case if Fashion boots is discontinued, then fixed cost eliminated = $30,000

In that case Total fixed cost of fashion boots non eliminated = $40,000 - $30,000 = $10,000

Which will be loss from Fashion as no other operating activity will be there.

Net operating profit of the company will be

Profit from Hiking Boots = $65,000

Less: Loss from Fashion Sales = $10,000 (Fixed Cost not eliminated)

Net Operating profit = $65,000 - $10,000 = $55,000

Net Operating Income rises by $10,000 when Fashion Boots is discontinued.

Answer:

The operating income would be increased  by $10,000.

Explanation:

Here we are being told that fashion line is being discounted to reduce the fixed cost ,  so here we can calculate what would net operating income would be when the hiking boots line is continuing and compare it with current operating income and see whether it has increased or decreased from discontinuing the fashion line.

SALES REVENUE HIKING  = $360,000

(-) VARIABLE EXPENSES   = $255,000

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN  = $360,000 - $255,000  

                                            = $105,000

(-) FIXED COST                   = $80,000 - $30,000(FIXED COST ELIMINATED)

                                            = $50,000

NET OPERATING INCOME = $105,000 - $50,000

                                             = $ 55,000

So with continuing the business with only hiking line income is $55,000 and earlier with both products the income was $45,000, so therefore there would be an increase in operating income b $10,000.

Stells [14]

Answer:

110

Explanation:

The computation of the price index is presented below:  

= (Cost of purchase those identical goods in 2015) ÷ (Cost to purchase the items in 2014) × 100

= ($11,000) ÷ ($10,000) × 100

= ($11,000) ÷ ($10,000) × 100

= 110

We simply applied the above formula so that the price index could come by considering the cost of 2014 and cost of 2015

Today's consumers do not need to rely on marketer-supplied information about products and services because they can use ________
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The answer to the question would be C

Explanation:

Without a doubt, the economic crisis has changed the way consumers approach the market for goods and services. In this new era, austerity, discounts and the search in different channels of the best price / benefit ratio dominate.

Of course, technology and the Internet are the best allies of the consumer who wants to be informed: thanks to smartphones, bar scanners, social networks or websites that compare prices or offer discounts, we are the buyers with more prior information on what we want or need to acquire.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

. All countries can gain from trade if they all specialize in production according to comparative advantage

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is when a country produces a product at a lower opportunity cost when compared with its trading partners.

Absolute advantage is when a country produces more quantities of goods and services than its trading partners.

A country can still have comparative advantage in production if opportunity cost is increasing once it's opportunity cost doesn't become greater than that of its trading partners.

A country can have comparative advantage without having absolute advantage.

I hope my answer helps you.
