Answer: Option B
Explanation: An organisation can earn sustainable competitive advantage in the market only if they have some special assets or rights that they can use to attract the customer and maintain their base for a period of time.
Although, globalization has made the world a single market and every entity is now focusing on maximizing their consumer satisfaction by doing researches and setting benchmarks.
Hence as every second entity operating at a global level is doing the given activities therefore none of them can get competitive advantage.
Given:
1997 - 5,000
2012 - 9,500
9,500 - 5,000 = 4,500
2012 - 1997 = 15 years
(9,500/5,000)^1/15 - 1
1.9^1/15 - 1
1.043718 - 1 = 0.043718
0.043718 * 100% = 4.3718%
The answer is D.) 4.37%
Answer:
1. 73 %
2. 27 %
3. $60,000
4. Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :
- Reduce the variable costs per unit
- Reduce fixed overheads
Explanation:
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100
Where,
Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs
= $88,000 - $23,760
= $64,240
Then,
Contribution Margin Ratio = $64,240/ $88,000 × 100
= 73 %
Variable Cost Ratio = Variable Cost / Sales × 100
= $23,760 / $88,000 × 100
= 27 %
Break-even sales revenue = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $43,800 ÷ 0.73
= $60,000
<u>Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :</u>
- Reduce the variable costs per unit
- Reduce fixed overheads
The correct answer is
"A great deal often just happens by accident"
Great deals require searching and planning.
