Answer:

<u>Morally wrong</u>

Explanation:

From a utilitarian perspective the action of the body guard would be tagged as morally wrong, because it is of the view of the utilitarian that an action should be for the greater good of people irrespective of whether that action is a bad action.

Thus, since the target was the politician, he would have allowed the assassin take the life of the one man - the politician so as to avoid fifteen people been killed, and four wounded.

Assume MIX Inc. has sales volume of $1,342,000 for two products with May sales and contribution margin ratios as follows:
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Instructions are below,

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product A: Sales $514,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 30%

Product B: Sales $828,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 60%

fixed expenses are $338,000

First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:

Total CM= CM Product A + CM Product B

Total CM= 514,000*0.3 + 828,000*0.6= $651,000

The operating income is calculated deducting from the total contribution margin the fixed costs:

Operating income= 651,000 - 338,000= 313,000

The average weighted contribution margin is calculated using the contribution margin ratio per product and the sales mix.

Sales mix:

Product A= 514,000/1,342,000= 0.38

Product B= 828,000/1,342,000= 0.62

Weighted average contribution= contribution margin ratio*sales mix

Product A= 0.3*0.38= 0.114

Product B= 0.6*0.62= 0.372

Total= 0.486

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.486= 48.6%

Finally, we can calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (units)= 338,000/ 0.486= $695,473.25
