Wingate Company, a wholesale distributor of electronic equipment, has been experiencing losses for some time, as shown by its most recent monthly contribution format income statement: Sales $1,630,000
Variable expenses 692,400
Contribution margin 937,600
Fixed expenses 1,031,000
Net operating income (loss) $(93,400)

In an effort to resolve the problem, the company would like to prepare an income statement segmented by division. Accordingly, the Accounting Department has developed the following information:

Division
East Central West
Sales $410,000 $640,000 $580,000
Variable expenses as a percentage of sales 54% 31% 47%
Traceable fixed expenses $261,000 $326,000 $210,000

Required:
a. Prepare a contribution format income statement segmented by divisions, as desired by the president.
b. As a result of a marketing study, the president believes that sales in the West Division could be increased by 20% if monthly advertising in that division were increased by $I5,000. Would you recommend the increased advertising?

David consumes two things: gasoline (g) and bread (b). david's utility function is u(g, b) = 10g^0.25 b^0.75. use the lagrange technique to solve for david's optimal choices of gasoline and bread as a function of the price of gasoline, p_g, the price of bread, p_b, and his income m. with recent decrease in the price of gasoline (maybe due to external shock such as shale gas production) does david increase his consumption of gasoline? for david, how does partial differential g/partial differential p_g depend on his income m? that is, how does david's change in gasoline consumption due to an increase in the price of gasoline depend on his income level? to answer these questions, find the cross-partial derivative, |partial differential^2 g/partial differential m partial differential p_g.
