Answer:

$1,200

Explanation:

Since  Arthur Company is producing below its capacity, it means it does not have to increase in plant capacity, I mean fixed costs in order to fulfil the special order, hence, in determining the increase in operating profits, we would only consider variable costs.

average cost per unit=variable cost per unit+fixed cost per unit

$0.96=variable cost per unit+$0.14

variable cost per unit=$0.96-$0.14

variable cost per unit=$0.82

Increase in operating profits=(special order price-variable cost per unit)*quantity of special order

special order price=$0.90

variable cost per unit=$0.82

quantity of special order=15000 utensils

Increase in operating profits=($0.90-$0.82)*15000

Increase in operating profits=$1,200

tekilochka [14]

Bic tried to introduce bic disposable underwear and the reason this new product failed is likely because of A. ineffective branding.

<h3>What is a brand?</h3>

A brand is a product, service, or concept which is publicly differentiated from other products, services, or concepts in order to facilitate communication and marketing. Branding is the process of developing and disseminating the brand name, as well as its characteristics and personality.

In consumer communication, too much emphasis is placed on product attributes and not enough on brand benefits. Trying to make too many points in your brand communication rather than focusing on one or two key points of differentiation. Changing your brand's positioning and message on a regular basis.

The correct answer is ineffective branding because the brand is well-known for writing products such as pens rather than a disposable inner ear brand. People were unable to relate to it, so it failed.

The remaining options are incorrect because timing cannot be linked, there were no technical glitches, and the market size was appropriate because it was released on a smaller scale.
