Ronald Coase proposed some theories about the possible solutions to externalities. One of them is negotiation between the two parties involved. The problem with this solution is the high costs of transaction that could be spent before an agreement is reached. The number of people involved in the negotiation could also be a problem.

Explanation:
Anticipatory repudiation is the act by which one party notifies the other intentions of not continuing with their relationship -typically tied to a contract- because of different factors. Those factors sometimes are specified in the terms of the contract and must be met for a Court to qualify the case as an anticipatory breach.
Thus, in the example, <em>Helen should retract her anticipatory breach since she will be able to make the payments for the gas service even though Paris changed the supplier.</em>
Answer:
1. 45.5%
2. 13.3%
3. 7.2%
Explanation:
The formulas and calculations are shown below:
1. Gross margin = (Sales - cost of sales) ÷ (sales) × 100
= ($10.1 million - $5.5 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100
= ($4.6 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100
= 45.5%
Gross profit = Sales - cost of sales
2. Operating margin = (Gross profit - selling, general and administrative expenses - research and development - annual depreciation charges) ÷ (sales) × 100
= ($4.6 million - $460,000 or $0.46 million - $1.4 million - $1.4 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100
= ($1.34 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100
= 13.3%
Operating income = Gross profit - selling, general and administrative expenses - research and development - annual depreciation charges
3. Net profit margin = (Operating income - taxes) ÷ (sales) × 100
= ($1.34 million - $0.6097 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100
= ($0.7303 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100
= 7.2%
The income tax expense = Operating income × income tax rate
= $1.34 million × 45.5%
= $0.6097 million
