Brand B market share is now at 14%

100 = 30 + (15-3x) + (20-4x) + (65-13x)
100 = 130-20x
20x = 130-100
x = 30/20
x = 1.5

b = 20-4*1.5
   = 14

Watson Oil recently reported (in millions) $8,250 of sales, $5,750 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1,000 of dep
klemol [59]

Answer:

net income exceeded the free cash flows by $550 million

Explanation:

net income = ($8,250 - $5,750 - $1,000 - $160) x (1 - 35%) = $871 million

net cash flows:

operating activities = $871 + $1,000 - $300 = $1,571

investing activities = ($1,250)

net cash increase during the year = $321 million

net income exceeded the free cash flows by $871 - $321 = $550 million

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Time Warner, Inc.

a.

                                     Turner      Home Box Office  Warner Bros.   Total

Segment Revenues

(in millions)                  $21,700            $22,200         $80,600      $124,500

Variable costs                 4,774                10,434           25,792           41,000

Contribution margin  $16,926               $11,766        $54,808        $83,500

Contribution ratio     78% (100 - 22)    53% (100 -47) 68% (100 -32)   67%

b. Certainly, Turnover and Warner Bros. are more profitable businesses than Home Box Office in terms of total contribution margin (dollars) and contribution margin ratio.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Segment Revenues

(in millions)

Turner (cable networks and digital media) $21,700

Home Box Office (pay television) 22,200

Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 80,600

Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows:

Turner 22%

Home Box Office 47%

Warner Bros. 32%

b) The contribution margin ratio for the three segments can easily be determined by subtracting the variable costs percentages from 100 for each segment instead of doing more computations (Contribution margin/Sales Revenue * 100).  But the results are the same for either method.
