Midwest Sales, Inc. has a stated written policy by which all similarly situated employees are to be paid the same salary. John D

oe (a male), a Senior Executive Vice President for Sales and Marketing for Midwest’s ZONE A, is paid $100,000 a year by Midwest. Jane Roe (a female), a Senior Executive Vice President for Sales and Marketing for Midwest’s ZONE B, is paid $95,000 a year by Midwest. Jane has worked for Midwest two years longer than John.

Answer:

b) The pay difference is unlawful, unless Midwest can establish some significant difference between Zone A and Zone B.

Explanation:

The equal Pay Act of 1963 states that men and women should earn the same salary for similar jobs, i.e. there should be no distinction of gender when establishing a person's salary.

The exception to this rule would be that the work carried out in Zone A is much more demanding, challenging, difficult, important or relevant than the work carried out in Zone B. E.g. Zone A represents 75% of total revenue, or includes very large cities.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

$2.25

Explanation:

Please check the attached image for the full question used in answering this question

Breakeven sales is the quantity sold at which net income is equal to zero.

Breakeven sales = fixed cost / (price per unit - variable cost per unit )

$1,215,000 / ($80 - $35) = 27,000

If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by $60,750, variable cost =

27,000 = ($1,215,000 - $60,750) / ($80 - V)

27,000 = 1,154,250 / ($80 - V)

V = $37.25

Variable cost would increase by  : $37.25 - $35 = 2.25

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.
