Answer:

diminishing returns

Explanation:

I'll provide you with a situation as an example.

Let's say that you are running a successful ice cream company. Typically, ice creams are made with dairy. This made a certain percentage of population couldn't consume it since they are lactose intolerant. (Basically eating dairy will give them diarrhea ).

There are not many people who have this condition. Let's say that you want to increase the value of your product and use the materials that makes your product become consumable to this specific population while maintaining the original taste.

This would resulted in a small amount  increase in customers base , but the investment that you need to make in order to make it happen will be substantial. You basically have to invest in researches to find the perfect ingredients, invest in additional marketing expense to educate the customers on the new product, change your current production flow, etc.

deff fn [24]

The answer is : The demand is elastic.

Elasticity =

[(80,000 - 180,000)/((80,000+180,000)/2)]/[($40 - $30)/(($40 + $30)/2)]|

[(-100,000/130,000)]/[(10/55)] = -.7692/.1818= -4.23

The answer is -4.23, however when considering own price elasticity of demand, we ignore the negative sign and look at the absolute value to determine whether it is elastic or inelastic.

Childress Company produces three products, K1, S5, and G9. Each product uses the same type of direct material. K1 uses 3.1 pound
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Contribution margin per pound

K1  - $16.90

S5 - $8.60

G9  - $10.40

Explanation:

Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

The contribution margin per pound for each of the three products is the ratio of the contribution margin per unit of a product to the number of pounds required per unit of that product.

                                           K1                  S5                        G9

Selling price                      $147.39        $112.64                 $215.56

Variable costs                     $95.00       $92.00                 $149.00

Contribution margin            $52.39       $20.64                 $66.56

Pounds per unit                       3.1                2.4                       6.4

Last month, Laredo Company sold 650 units for $125 each. During the month, fixed costs were $8,850 and variable costs were $75 p
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1. $50 and 40%

2. 177 units and $22,125

3. 473 units and 72.77%

Explanation:

Price = $125

Variable cost = $75

Fixed cost =$8,850

Contribution margin is the net of sales price and variable cost of the product. It is the cost available to recover the fixed cost and make profit afterward.

1. Contribution margin = Sales price - Variable cost = $125 - $75 = $50

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sale price = $50 / $125 = 40%

Break-even is the level of sales at which business has no profit no loss situation.

2. Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit = $8,850 / $50 = 177 units

Break-even in $ = 177 units x $125 = $22,125

Margin of safety is the level of sales at which the business is safe from making loss. Margin of safety measures the profit after the break-even point.

3. Margin of Safety = Total sales - Break-even point = 650 units - 177 units = 473 units

Margin of safety to sales = ( Margin of safety / Total sales ) = ( 473 units / 650 units ) x 100 = 72.77%
