Answer:

pursued distinct strategic positions

Explanation:

This is most likely because both companies have pursued distinct strategic positions. Meaning that they have both found a specific niche within the restaurant business and decided to fulfill each their own specific niche. This allows them to be part of the same industry while still offerring their customers completely seperate experiences. These unique and very different experiences is what allows both Lil Anthony's and Amelia's business to thrive. If they instead offered their customers the same experience then they would be directly competing against each other and only one would be able to stay in business and they would steal the other's customers.

Saturn Industries purchased and consumed 64,000 gallons of direct material that was used in the production of 17,000 finished un
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The actual price = $1.08

Explanation:

The standard material price can be worked out as follows:

<em>Step 1: Work out the standard price of material  using the material usage variance</em>

Standard price = Material usage variance/(standard quantity of material - actual quantity)

Standard quantity of material = standard qty per unit × actual production

                                              = 4 × 17,000 =68,000

Standard price =  2,800/(68,000-64,000)= $0.7

<em>Step 2 : Work out the Actual material price using the material price variance</em>

Material price variance = (Standard price - Actual price )× Actual quantity of material

6,400 =  (y - 0.7) ×  17,000

6400 = 17,000y  - 11,900

17,000 y = 6,400 + 11,900

y = 18,300/17,000= 1.08

The actual price = $1.08

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The missing part of the question is found below:

Boots Plus has two product lines: Hiking boots and Fashion boots. Income statement data for the most recent year follow:

                                Total       Hiking        Fashion

Sales revenue       $480,000 $340,000 $140,000

Variable expenses 355,000 235,000 120,000

Contribution margin 125,000 105,000 20,000

Fixed expenses         76,000 38,000 38,000

Operating income (loss) $49,000 $67,000 $(18,000)

Answer

By discontinuing fashion line of business operating income would increase by $5,000

Explanation:

The impact of eliminating Fashion line is evident in the revised Income statement below:

                                                                 Hiking

Sales revenue                                         $340,000

Variable expenses                                  ($235,000)

Contribution margin                                105,000

Fixed expenses($76,000-$25,000)     ($51,000)

Operating income                                    $54,000

By discontinuing the fashion line of business,the operating income would increase by $5,000 ($54,000-$49,000) from $49,000 when operating the two lines of business to $54,000 when fashion is closed up.

The most appropriate action is to concentrate on the hiking line which might mean that Boots plus has a competitive edge in the Hiking business sector.

______has an absolute advantage in the production of alfalfa, and_______ has an absolute advantage in the production of barley.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The person with Absolute advantage is the one that produces more of a good than the other.

<em><u>Dina </u></em><em>has an absolute advantage in the production of alfalfa, and </em><em><u>Charles</u></em><em> has an absolute advantage in the production of barley. </em>

The person with Comparative Advantage is the person who produces something at a lower opportunity cost.

Charles Opportunity Costs

Producing Alfalfa gives 12 bushels per acre instead of 6 bushels for Barley.

Producing 1 Alfalfa means 6/12 = 0.5 bushels Barley is given up

Producing 1 bushel of Barley means 12/6 = 2 bushels Alfalfa is given up.

Dina Opportunity Costs

Producing Alfalfa gives 15 bushels per acre instead of 5 bushels for Barley.

Producing 1 Alfalfa means 5/15 = 0.33 bushels of Barley is given up

Producing 1 bushel of Barley means 15/5 = 3 bushels of Alfalfa is given up.

<em>Charles's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of barley is </em><em><u>2</u></em><em> bushels of alfalfa, whereas Dina's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of barley is </em><em><u>3</u></em><em> bushels of alfalfa. Because Charles has </em><em><u>lower</u></em><em> a opportunity cost of producing barley than Dina, </em><em><u>Charlie</u></em><em> has a comparative advantage in the production of barley, and </em><em><u>Dina</u></em><em> has a comparative advantage in the production of alfalfa.</em>
