-The general level of stock prices
Explanation:
The factors that a firm cannot control are the ones that it has no power to decide and they are determined by a third party.

Answer:
The Legume Division's net operating income last year was d. $45,000
Explanation:
Turnover (on operating assets) = Total Sales/ Operating assets
From the formula, 
Operating assets = Total Sales/Turnover (on operating assets) = $900,000/3 = $300,000
Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:
ROI = Net income/Total investment
Net Income = ROI x Total investment
At the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation, Total investment  = Operating assets = $300,000
Net Income = 15% x $300,000 = $45,000
