Answer and explanation:
a.
the table below shows the impact of dropping beta product
Loss of Contribution Margin if Beta is Dropped (75,000*64) -$4,800,000
Traceable Fixed Manufacturing Overhead (123,000*33) $4,059,000
Incremental Contribution Margin from Additional Alpha Sales (15,000*72)
$1,080,000
Increase in Net Operating Income if Beta is Dropped $339,000
Notes:
Contribution Margin Per Unit (Beta) = 150 (Selling Price) - 15 (Direct Material) - 28 (Direct Labor) - 20 (Variable Manufacturing Overhead) - 23 (Variable Selling Expenses) = $64 per unit
Contribution Margin Per Unit (Alpha) = 195 (Selling Price) - 40 (Direct Material) - 34 (Direct Labor) - 22 (Variable Manufacturing Overhead) - 27 (Variable Selling Expenses) = $72 per unit

Answer and Explanation:
a)
If you charge $40 for X then everyone will buy as everyone is willing to pay atleast $40. this means all three groups buy that is 3*1000 buyers.So profit from X = 3000*40= $120,000
And since everyone is willing to willing to pay atleast $60 for Y again all three groups will buy so profit from Y =3000*60=$180,000
profits=$300,000
b)
If you charge $90 and $160 for X and Y respectively you will have only 1000 buyers for each product as others are unwilling to pay this much.
So profits = 1000*90 + 1000*160=$250,000
c)
for a bundle of X and Y buyers are willing to pay a total of $150, $210 and $200 across the three categories.
So everyone will buy a bundle of 1 X and 1 Y.
profits = 150*3000= $450,000
d)
If you charge $210 only the second will buy as they are willing to pay that much so profits =1000*210=$210,000
Also by selling X at $90 group 1 will buy X; profits=1000*90=$90,000
and by selling Y at $160 group 3 will buy Y; profits=1000*160=$160,000
total profits =$460,000
Is this supposed to be a multiple choice question? It is way fun to think about projects other people might be up to which carry outrageously high risk!
Restaurants are a common example -- there's a little bit of magic in whether a new restaurant will catch on and become popular.
Farming is pretty risky. You can do everything right and have a hail storm come and ruin the crops. That's why there are government programs and commodity markets that help farmers mitigate their risk -- because the rest of us who need to eat really need for people to be willing to farm!
Answer: . two-stage area
Explanation:
In two-stage specimen sampling, a simple random sample of specimen is selected and then a simple random sample is selected from the units in each sampled specimen. Two-stage sampling is used when the sizes of the specimens are large, making it difficult or expensive to observe all the units inside them.
