Answer:
Fixed costs= 1,100,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
During its most recent fiscal year, Dover, Inc. had total sales of $3,200,000. Contribution margin amounted to $1,500,000 and pretax income was $400,000.
We need to reverse engineer the income statement to determine the total fixed costs. We know that the pretax income is the difference between the total contribution margin and the fixed costs.
Pretax= total contribution margin - fixed costs
400,000= 1,500,000 - FC
Fixed costs= 1,500,000 - 400,000
Fixed costs= 1,100,000
There are 6 requirements for a verbal contract:
An offer. -- they had this
An acceptance. -- the contract was accepted
Competent parties who have the legal capacity to contract. - they both have the right to make this decision
Lawful subject matter. this is not an illegal operation
Mutuality of obligation. Both parties are obligated to do something in this case.
Consideration. if there were discussions of payment, then yes this is a legally enforceable contract.
If the market contracts, due to internal or external factors, then the demand for the goods and services that the firm sells will fall and thus, a propitious niche will disappear. and, if the market expands, and the company fails to meet the increased demand, then also the propitious niche will vanish.
Answer:
b. private producers of such goods will have little incentive to control costs and provide them at low prices
Explanation:
Externality is a situation where the production activities of market participants (either producers or consumers) have an effect on third parties not involved in production.
Externality is a form of market inefficiency.
Negative externality is when goods are produced privately, but the cost of their purchase is paid for by the taxpayer or some other third party.
When negative externality occurs, producers have little incentive to reduce cost because they don't bear the total brunt of their activities. This is why activities that generate negative externality are over produced.
Government needs to step in to control this problem. They can either impose tax on producers or regulate their activities.
Pollution is an example of negative externality.
