Answer:

a. See part a below for the analysis.

b. We have:

1. Division A total cost = $1,131,000

2. Division A total profit or benefit = $1,509,000

3. Division B total cost = $1,320,000

4. Division A total profit or benefit = $44,000

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of calculation of costs and benefits of options available to Divisions A and B.

a. What are the costs and benefits of the alternatives available to Division A and Division B with respect to the transfer of Division A's product? Assume that Division A can market all that it can produce.

Under this condition, each analysis is based on the condition that either Division A or Division B will pay for the transportation cost.

From part a the attached excel file, we have:

1. Division A will incur a total cost of of $559,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $761,000 if it sells to the outside market.

2. Division A will incur a total cost of of $647,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $673,000 if it sells to Division B.

3. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,408,000 if it buys from Division A.

4. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,364,000 if it buys alternate supplier. It thereby saves the transportation cost of $88,000 of buying from A as a benefit.

b. How would your answer change if Division A had idle capacity sufficient to cover all of Division B's needs?

Under this condition, it is assumed that Division A will pay for the transportation cost. Therefore, Division A will sell to both the outside market and Division B.

From part b of the attached excel file, we will have the following based on this condition:

1. Division A total cost = Total cost of selling to the outside market + Total cost of selling to Division B = $559,000 + $572,000 = $1,131,000

2. Division A profit or benefit cost = Total profit or benefits of selling to the outside market + Total profit or benefits of selling to Division B = $761,000 + $748,000 = $1,509,000

3.  Division B will incur a total cost of $1,320,000 by buying from Division A. It thereby saves $44,000 (i.e. $1,364,000 - $1,320,000 = $44,000) as a benefit for not buying from alternate supplier.

Answer:

C) formed a valid contract because Rachel's outward expressions showed the formation of a contract.

Explanation:

A valid contract is a binding and enforceable agreement, where all parties are legally bound to perform the contract.

Probably the most important part of a contract is the existence of an offer and acceptance. Once a valid offer is accepted, it binds the parties into a valid contract.

In this case, Rachel accepted Julius´s offer to buy her boat, so an offer and acceptance exists.

After a product recall triggered by salmonella contamination and repeated violation citations by the health department, Mc Burge
Julli [10]

Answer:

McBurger Inc.

Introduction of Healthylicious-n-Safe

I think that McBurger should launch this new product.  If McBurger can capture more than 28% of the meatless burger market, it can break-even in 12 months and start earning huge profits in 18 months when there will be nil promotion costs.

Explanation:

Annual projected market sales of meatless burger = 1,250,000 boxes

Content of each box of Healthylicious-n-Safe = 8 burgers

Fixed cost per month = $35,000

Total annual fixed cost = $420,000 ($35,000 * 12)

Estimated variable cost of making one burger = $0.875

Estimated variable cost of a box of 8 burgers = $7 ($0.875 * 8)

Cost of promotional campaign in the first 12 months = $275,000

Total annual fixed cost including promotions = $695,000

Expected selling price per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe = $9

Estimated variable cost per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe    7

Contribution margin per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe =   $2

Sales units required to break-even = Total fixed costs/Contribution margin per box

= $695,000/$2 = 347,500 boxes

This sales units break-even point represents 27.8% of the meatless burger market (347,500/1,250,000 * 100)

How does a subsidy affect supply?
A subsidy by nature increases the purchasing power of the individual or class it is awarded to. It's like free money that can only be spent on certain things.

I think Sophia is responding to Brand Image Consistency.
