Explanation / Answer

26)correct option is "C"

Dropping of football helmet will result in no contribution but fixed cost continue to b be incurred resulting in loss of -38000

overall income after drop = 37000 baseball income -38000 loss from football

         = -1000 loss

Overall decrease in income =Income after drop - Income before

           = -1000-29000

         = -30000

27)

Dropping of football helmet will result in no contribution but fixed cost continue to be incurred resulting in loss of 18000   [38000-20000eliminate]

overall income after drop = 37000 baseball income -18000 loss from football

         =19000

Overall decrease in income =Income after drop - Income before

           = 19000-29000

         = --10000decrease

correct option is "c"

28)Income/loss from dropping = -1000 +45000 = 44000

Overall affect = 44000-29000 = 15000

correct option is "a"

29)contribution margin ratioof baseball = 75000/310000=24.19%

Increase sales =310000(1+.7)= 527000

Increase in contribution =527000*.2419 = 127481.3

Net income of baseball = 127481.3-38000fixed cost =89481.3

Loss from football division = -38000 fixed cost

overall income = 89481.3-38000= 51481.3

Increase/(decrease)= 51481.3-29000 = 22481.3 [approx 22500]

correct option is "b"
