tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

"Exporting pollution" occurs when a country reduces its domestic pollution, but increases imports that cause pollution in other countries.

Explanation:

Exporting pollution is a commercial and environmental process through which the most developed countries send their most polluting companies to produce their goods to underdeveloped countries. These companies, generally industrial, transfer their production of carbon dioxide and other polluting gases to these countries, which receive large employers and economic benefits but in turn accept higher rates of contamination in their territories.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The change in net operating income after the changes by $14,200

Explanation:

For computing the change in net operating income, first, we have to compute the contribution per unit which is shown below:

Contribution per unit = Selling per unit - variable cost per unit

= $190 per unit - $76 per unit

= $114 per unit

where,

The selling per unit = (Sales revenue ÷ number of units)

= ($190,000 ÷ 1,000 units)

= $190 per unit

The variable cost per unit = (variable cost ÷ number of units)

= ($76,000 ÷ 1,000 units)

= $76 per unit

Now the change in operating income equals to

= (increased sales units × contribution per unit) - advertising cost

= (300 units × $114 per unit) - $20,000

= $34,200 -$20,000

= $14,200 increase
