Answer:

Time Warner, Inc.

a) Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio for each segment:

                                             Turner      Home Box Office       Warner Bros.

Revenues                            $75,100           $43,200                   $44,500

Variable costs                       20,277                6,912                        11,125 Contribution margin          $54,823           $36,288                    $33,375

Contribution margin ratio

   (as a percent of Revenue)    73%                  84%                          75%

b) The answer in (a) does not mean that the two other segments are more profitable than Turner.  The Contribution Margin Ratio is not enough to decide the profitability of each segment.  It only shows the percentage of revenue that is left after deducting the variable costs.  To determine profitability, fixed costs will be deducted from the contribution margin.  Fixed costs refer to the periodic costs associated with running the different segments.

Explanation:

Segment Contribution Margin Analysis helps management to review the contributions made by each segment to the entity.  It shows the difference between segmental revenues and segmental variable costs.

g100num [7]

Answer:

d. $119.32

Explanation:

The computation of the total of leiff online purchase is shown below:

= Video game price - discount + sales tax + shipping fee

where,

Video game price is $128

The discount = Video game price × discount percentage

= $128 ×15%

= $19.2

The sales tax =  (Video game price - discount) × sales tax rate

= ($128 - $19.2) ×5.3%

= $5.77

And, the shipping fee is $4.75

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $128 - $19.2 + $5.77 + $4.75

= $119.32

The owner will maximize value if it waits 29th years Assuming 5% continuos inflation

Explanation:

the price formula for the future years is:

v = 301000 + 960 t^{2}

while it is adjusted for inflation at:

v \times e^{-0.05t}

so the complete formula for value is:
