Explanation:
Customer access strategy is a framework or a set of standards, guidelines and processes, which defines the means by which a customer and the organization can interact, and means by which the customer has access to:
- the relevant information needed to make purchases
- the right logistics for the execution of a purchase
The arear of access are mainly information (value of the product, price of products, how products work) and logistics (means of getting the products, customer service on the after-purchase needs etc).
It has been studied extensively that companies are spending 3 to 4 times as much money on creating customer access than they do on advertising, this is because even if advertising is successful, the results will not be seen if customer access is not successful, and having an efficient customer access strategy can provide a competitive advantage to the producers.
The consumer surplus associated with the consumption of furniture increases. Wood is an input in the production of furniture therefore it constitutes the cost of production, the decrease in the price of wood would therefore mean a decrease in the production cost. A decrease in the cost of production in turn causes a decrease in the buying price of furniture and therefore, consumer surplus increases.

Please see explanation below
Explanation:
a. Just as supply and demand affects any other market, so does it affects jobs too. Take for instance if additional workers are added to the existing workforce while the demand for jobs remains the same; it means that employers would likely pay less which will bring about drop in income to employees hence causes less job stability. On the other hand, if there is an increase in demand for jobs while supply remains the same; then employers will be willing to pay more thereby resulting in higher income for few who are employed hence bring about job stability.
b. Change in demand refers to either an increase or decrease in demand for a particular good or service due to changes in consumer tastes, income level, population, price of substitutes etc; while change in supply is when suppliers decided to either increase or decrease their production or output due to changes in technology, process automation, change in the number of competitors in the market, taxes, production costs etc.
An increase in demand for certain goods or services would necessitate an increase in supply for such goods hence create avenue for producers or manufacturers to employ more people to produce them. Also, a decrease in demand for certain goods or services would result in less goods being produced hence lesser people getting employed to produce such goods.
On the other hand, when producers embraces new technology or process automation , the possibility of producing more goods will be higher while such would result in job losses.
Answer:
C. 31.25%.
Explanation:
PRODUCTS X Y Z Total
Sales in dollars $20,000 $40,000 $100,000 $160,000
CM ratio 45% 40% 25%
Contribution margin ratio can be calculated by weighted average method base on the sales ratio of each product.
Contribution margin as a whole = ( CM ratio of X x Ratio of X in total sales ) + ( CM ratio of Y x Ratio of Y in total sales ) + ( CM ratio of Z x Ratio of Z in total sales )
Contribution margin as a whole = ( 45% x $20,000 / $160,000 ) + ( 40% x $40,000 / $160,000 ) + ( 25% x $100,000 / $160,000 )
Contribution margin as a whole = 5.625% + 10% + 15.625% = 31.25%
