Answer:

The 40%  saving on fixed assets will increase Granfield overall operating income by $210,800

Explanation:

If Granfield discontinues it backpack division, below is the saving from fixed cost :

Avoidable fixed cost (40%)= 40% * $527,000

                                            =$210,800

The $210,800 saving will increase Granfield overall operating income.

The 60% balance of the fixed cost is a sunk cost and will not have any impact on the operating income.

Hence, a decision has to be made whether to continue with the segment $42,000 operating loss or discontinue the operation to have savings of $210,800.

sales                  960,000

variable cost    (475,000)

contribution      485,000

Upper management of a clothing store in the mall has decided that a good way to motivate employees is to consult with them about
sergey [27]

Answer:

Consider the following analysis.

Explanation:

The manager's assumption is that the employee work only for their own benefits and they need immediate punishment for poor work, intermediation, and minute-level supervision. This proves that he uses Theory X.

The upper management, on the other hand, is trying to initiate consultation with the employees before bringing out any improvement plan in the business process. This type of management style implicitly assumes that the employees are motivated and self-directed. This is Theory Y.

So, the first option should be correct.

Equity theory is something not contextual here. Equity theory works on the reduction of perceived inequality in the input and output of the employees as a means of motivation.

If a profit-maximizing, competitive firm is producing a quantity at which marginal cost is between average variable cost and ave
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

a. keep producing in the short run but exit the market in the long run.

Explanation:

To answer the question, there is a need to look at the effect of the situation on the firm both in the short- run and the long-run

Short Run Effect

The Marginal cost is between average variable cost and average total cost. The business can still continue producing goods because the quantity being produced is still able to cover the average variable cost. This means that the firm is still able meet its variable costs by setting the price of its goods to its marginal cost which is an amount greater than its average variable cost.  

Long Run Effect

However, in the long-run the company will begin to have issues even meeting other important costs such as the fixed costs associated with production and as such, the firm will need to exit the market in the long run. For instance the cost of long term loans (principal and interest) may not be covered by the net income of the firm.
