Please answer all the questions Below is data from the case.







Use the Westfield Corporation Excel documents for questions 3 to 18. 16. Does the company classify "advertising" as a fixed, variable, or a mixed expense and why? Fixed but this is in error as advertising is a variable expense Fixed because sales vary with advertising expense Fixed because sales do not directly vary with advertising expense Variable because sales do not directly vary with advertising expense 18. Why is "net operating income" on the functional format income statement the same as "net operating income" on the contribution format income statement? Because sales are the same and the expenses total the same - the expenses are just organized in different ways - either by behavior or by function Because expenses are organized by behavior on the functional format income statement and by function on the contribution format income statement Just happened by chance Because sales are different and the expenses total is different and the expenses are organized in different ways - either by behavior or by function Question 19 0.5 pts Questions 19 and 20 are general questions (NOT about Westfield Corporation). 19. The trend for cost of goods sold is increasing as a percentage of sales and the trend for total marketing costs as a percentage of sales is decreasing. What does this suggest to the company CEO? The CEO would want to analyze whether marketing is pushing production to hard (increasing expenses) to make the marketing effort easier (less expenses). The CEO would want to analyze whether production is pushing marketing to hard to make the production effort easier and thus lower marketing expenses That production is spending too much money to produce the product That the marketing manager is doing a good job because marketing expenses are declining as a percentage of sales Questions 19 and 20 are general questions (NOT about Westfield Corporation). 20. What does the following scenario suggest to a company CEO? Sales in units are increasing and average price is decreasing. Net operating income is decreasing. The CEO should wait and hope things get better The extra volume is not making up for the lower price The CEO would want to carefully analyze the finance manager's work to ensure it is correct The CEO would want to check with the production manager on why this is happening \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \multirow[t]{3}{*}{ Exhibt 1} & \multirow[b]{3}{*}{ Year 6} & \multirow[b]{3}{*}{ Yr
