Discussion
An executive of a large steel company put the blame for lower net income for a recent fiscal period on the "shift in product mix to a higher proportion of export sales." Sales for the period increased slightly while net income declined by a percent such as 25%.
Explain how a change in product (sales) mix to a higher proportion in export sales could result in a lower level of net income.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
