Answer:

To: President

From: General Manager Finance

Subject : Pricing strategy for existing products

Date : 20th June 2021

As you are aware about the declining sales of our various products. The main reason identified by our sales and marketing analysts for the declining sales is over pricing of various products. There have been increase competition in the market and new entrants have adopted strategy of economies of scale which enable them to sell the product at low price and gain market share. There we need to cut our costs and then reduce our profit margin to boost sales of our products. We can be profitable from volume sales strategy.

If you need to discuss further on this matter, we can arrange a meeting with head of different department to discuss the business strategy in more detail.

The restaurant's total cost is a mixed cost that depends on customers served. The restaurant's management uses the high-low meth
harina [27]

Answer:

$29,390

Explanation:

For computing the total cost first we have to determine the variable cost per customer and the fixed cost which is shown below:

Variable cost Per Customer is

= (High total cost - low total cost) ÷ (high number of customer served - low cost of customer served)

= ($28,934 - $28,241) ÷ (14,100 - 11,214)

= $0.24

Now

Fixed cost is

= High cost - (high number of customer served × variable cost per customer)

= 28,934 - (14,100 × 0.24)

= $25,550

So, the total cost for 16,000 customers is

= Fixed cost + variable cost

= $25,550 + (16,000 × $0.24)

= $29,390

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

a. Consumption spending

b. consumption spending

c. government spending

d. investment

e. consumption and investment

f. consumption spending

g. not included in GDP

Purchase of a Toshiba laptop is consumption spending

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

When exports exceeds import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.  

Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:  

1. services not rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used or old products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

Consumption spending includes expenditures by households on durable and non durable goods and services

the following are durable consumption by households and are included in the calculation of GDP :

Purchase of a house

Purchase of a mustang

Purchase of an air conditioner

purchase of a  computer

the purchase of the old Victorian house isn't included in the calculation of GDP because it is old. Only items produced in the current year are included in the GDP. if the old home is counted, it would be double counting

hiring an accountant is an example of purchase of services by households and it is consumption spending.

Spending by businesses are included in investment spending.

expenditure by the government or state are included in government spending

Alternative A Alternative B Materials costs $28,000 $64,000 Processing costs $34,000 $34,000 Equipment rental $11,000 $28,500 Oc
stira [4]

Answer:

$61,600

Explanation:

The differential cost analysis is an analysis in which the costs of two alternatives is taken into consideration and based on those costs it is decided that which alternative is suitable in terms of increment that has been lost by other alternative. That is why it is also known as alternative cost. To calculate the differential cost, it is simple, subtract the cost of 1st alternative from the 2nd and you will get the differential cost. Basically this tool helps in decision making when deciding to choose between two alternatives.

In the question we have been asked to find the differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A, including all of the relevant costs. To do that first we need to find the differential costs among all the relevant costs and then sum all the differences to find the differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A.

(a)

Differential Cost of Alternative B over Alternative A is;

Materials costs =  $64,000 - $28,000 = $36,000

Processing costs =  $34,000 - $34,000 = $0

Equipment rental =  $28,500 - $11,000 = $17,500

Occupancy costs = $27,600 - $19,500 = $8,100

(b)

Now the Total Cost which is Differential Cost of Alternative B over Alternative A is;

$36,000 + $0 + $17,500 + $8,100

$61,600
