Answer:
$133,000 decrease
Explanation:
The computation of the impact on the operating income is shown below:
Sales for the year $1,052,000
Less:
Variable cost -$862,000
Contribution margin $190,000
Less:
Fixed cost for 30% of $190,000 -$57,000
Impact on the operating income $133,000
This amount reflects the decrease in the operating income

The questions are those that still do not know what their evolution will be (usually those that are in the development or launch phase), but which can become star products.
Answer:
Irrelevant to the decision of whether to discontinue the product line because they will not differ between alternatives.
Explanation:
Fixed costs can be defined as expenses that remain constant during a particular period of time, these costs does not change with an increase or reduction in the volume of production. Fixed costs tends to remain the same even when the organisation experiences a massive sale of their products in the market. Example of fixed costs include rent, loan.
Unavoidable fixed costs can be described as the costs incurred by a company during the introduction of the product into the market. This type of cost does not have the tendency to fluctuate when the production process is discontinued.
Explicit costs are business expenses that are easily identifiable and can be accounted for.
1) Wages and salaries = 100,000
2) Utilities expenses = 15,000
3) Materials and Supplies = 150,000
4) Gasoline expense = 5,000
100,000 + 15,000 + 150,000 + 5,000 = 270,000 answer is C.
Answer:
B. the passage of time.
Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply is determined by the passage of time.
Typically, in the short run, the elasticity of supply is usually inelastic. Prices do not usually impact quantity supplied because in the short run, some of the factors of production are fixed. But in the long run, the price elasticity of supply are more elastic.
The other factors listed above in the options affect the price elasticity of demand.
