Explanation:
Product A Product B Product C
sales 70,000 97000
Variable cost 37000 51000
Contribution margin 33000 46000
Avoidable cost 10,000 20000
Unavoidable cost 7000 12000 9400
Operating income 16000 14000
Total operating income if product C is dropped is (16000+14000 +3400-9400)
=$24000

B) 70.28%
C) 4.92 million people
D) 19.50%
Explanation:
Laborland's total labor force can be calculated by adding those who are employed and those who are unemployed but were searching for a job during the last month.
- 4.6 million (part-time employed) + 15.71 million (full-time employed) + 3.2 million (looked for a job two weeks ago) + 1.72 million (looked for a job between two and four weeks ago) = 25.23 million people
Laborland's labor force participation rate can be calculated by dividing the labor force by the total population.
- (25.23 million / 35.9 million) x 100% = 70.28%
Laborland's total unemployed can be calculated by adding the number of people without a job that searched for a job during the last month.
- 3.2 million + 1.72 million = 4.92 million people
Laborland's unemployment rate can be calculated by dividing the total number of unemployed people by the total work force.
- (4.92 million / 25.23 million) x 100% = 19.50%
Answer: $40
Explanation:
Selling price can be calculated through the contribution margin equation;
Contribution margin = (Selling Price - Variable cost) / Selling Price
Contribution margin = Fixed costs/break-even point
= 660,000/1,100,000
= 60%
60% = (Selling Price - 16) / Selling Price
Selling price * 60% = Selling price - 16
16 = Selling price - (0.6 * selling price)
16 = Selling price * 40%
16/40% = Selling price
Selling price = $40
