Answer:

60 percent

Explanation:

Contribution margin refers to the revenue a firm derives after deducting the variable cost it has incurred.

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable costs

Contribution margin or contribution to sales ratio represents the percentage of contribution a firm earns from the sale of it's output.

It is represented mathematically as,

= \frac{Contribution\ margin}{Sales}

Also, contribution margin ratio = 100 - variable cost ratio percentage.

Hence, contribution margin for three departments would be:

A = 100 - 30% = 70%

B = 100 - 40% = 60%

C = 100- 50% = 50%

This represents if sales revenue is 100, contribution margin earned is 70, 60 and 50 under three cases.

Since sales revenue in all three departments is the same, let us assume the sales revenue of a department as y.

\frac{0.70y\ +\ 0.60y\ +\ 0.50y}{3y}    

Thus, weighted average contribution margin would be, 60 percent

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period of the given machine is shown below:

<u>Year       Initial outflow       Cash flow       Cumulative cash flow</u>

               (52000)  

1                                              10,000               10,000

2                                              10,000              20,000

3                                              10,000              30,000

4                                               8,000               38,000

5                                               8,000               46,000

6                                               2,000                48,000

7                                                2,000                50,000

8                                                4,000                 54000

9                                                4,000                 58000

10                                               4,000                 62000

Now the Payback period is

=  Completed years+ required cash ÷ annual cash inflow

= 7 years + 2000 ÷ 4000

= 7.5 Years

Assume company can produce any amount above 3.4 units. Naploc purchased the equipment for $12,000 and did not start production y
svetlana [45]

Answer: $12,000

Explanation:

As no production has been started yet, no other costs have been incurred by Naples for the equipment other than the $12,000.

The lowest price that Tebit should offer therefore should be the price that the equipment was purchased for as the equipment has not not been used to produce anything and so has not incurred any variable costs or donated any incremental value that would decrease or increase its value.

<span>This type of marketing is known as imperfect competition as many companies are selling similar products, but the products aren’t similar enough to compete with each other in the market. One way that a company in this type of market can get the most for their money is by producing goods that have a marginal revenue that equals the marginal cost. The company also can continue to develop new products in order to keep us with the demands of its customers. In order to increase the demand for their product, the company may improve its quality and design in order to make it more useful for its customers.</span>
