Answer:

a. ZTech will have a higher operating leverage because it has a higher fixed cost.

b. ZTech will have a higher profit since it has a higher operating leverage if the economy strengthens.

Explanation:

Operating leverage measures the the extent to which a firm uses fixed cost to finance its operations. The higher the fixed cost, the higher the degree of operating leverage

If the economy strengthens, the firm with a higher degree of operating leverage earns a higher profit.

Explain the difference between the proportional method and the incremental method of allocating the proceeds of lump-sum sales o
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

When a company sells different securities together (this usually happens during mergers and acquisitions):

  1. and the price of all the securities is not certain, the incremental method will first allocate proceeds to the sale of securities whose price is actually certain. The remaining proceeds will be allocated to the securities whose price is uncertain. E.g. total sales $10 million, stocks worth $5 million were sold and bonds worth ? million were sold. The company will allocate $5 million to stocks and $5 million to bonds.
  2. and the price of all the securities is certain, the proportional method allocates the sales proceeds proportionally among the different securities sold. E.g. total sales $10 million, stocks worth $5 million were sold and bonds worth $3 million were sold. The company will allocate ($5/$8) x $10 million = $6.25 million to stocks and $3.75 to bonds.

rewona [7]

Answer:

Yes, it was a marketing exchange

The payment made of the tuition was exchanged for the knowledge that led Marissa to the new paid and satisfactory job.

Explanation:

Given that changing means taking one thing for another, in the context of marketing, we understand by exchange relationship an act of communication where the parts involved (two or more) make the offer and reciprocally deliver something of value ( comparison with other objects) and useful (measure of the satisfaction obtained when receiving something of value) that passes to the other part.
