Harding is considering an advertising campaign that will cost $15,000 per month from january through march; it is expected to increase sales by 8% a month. at the same time harding will reduce sales prices to $17.00 per unit while keeping costs steady. required: (a.) what will operating income be in each of the three months before the advertising campaign?

Operating income = 230000

Operating income = 175000

Operating income = 257500

Explanation:

Assuming that Harding expects to sell 50000, 40000, 55000 units in January, February and March respectively and has a selling price of $15 per unit. Assuming that the variable and fixed costs are as follows;

material $5

labor $3

variable overheads $1.5

total fixed overhead $45000

The operating income in each of the three months would be as follows:

January

Sales = $15×50000

Sales = $750000

total variable costs = ($5 ×50000) + ($3 ×50000) + ($1.5 ×50000)

total variable costs = $475000

Operating income = $750000 - $475000 - $45000

Operating income = 230000

February

Sales = $15×40000

Sales = $600000

total variable costs = ($5 ×40000) + ($3 ×40000) + ($1.5 ×40000)

total variable costs = $475000

Operating income = $600000 - $380000 - $45000

Operating income = 175000

March

Sales = $15×55000

Sales = $825000

total variable costs = ($5 ×55000) + ($3 ×55000) + ($1.5 ×55000)

total variable costs = $522500

Operating income = $825000 - $522500 - $45000

Operating income = 257500

answer with step-by-step explanation:

a. wx is perpendicular to xy - true:

(since x is adjacent to x and y and all angles are 90 degrees in a square, therefore wx is perpendicular to xy)

b. ∠w is congruent to ∠x - true:

(all angles in a square are equal to each other)

c. ∠w is supplementary to ∠x - true:

(∠w and ∠x both are right angles which add up to 180 degrees so they are supplementary angles)

d. wxyz is a rhombus - true:

(a rhombus has all sides equal in length and so has a square so it is a rhombus)

e. wxyz is a trapezoid - false:

(a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides while a square has two pairs of parallel sides)

f. wx is parallel to yz - true:

(wx and yz are parallel to each other)

answer(d) the growth of consumption is likely to remain sluggish even as the economy begins to recover.;
