Answer:

A. National-security argument

Explanation:

The National-security argument is also known as the National-defense argument. The argument proposes the imposition of high tariffs on locally manufactured goods so that the country would not be dependent on other countries for those goods in the event of war. For example, if a country is dependent on other counties for the production of food, then it would be in great danger in the advent of war. Tires that are also used to prepare weapons should be sourced within a country so that in the advent of war, the country would not be dependent on others.

This is the argument employed by the congresswoman who sought the imposition of a tariff on tires so that the United States would not be dependent on other foreign countries during a war.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $234,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (4,000 units) $ 240,000

Variable expenses 156,000

Fixed expenses 81,900

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, first, we need to determine the selling price and unitary variable cost:

Selling price= 240,000/4,000= $60

Unitary variable cost= 156,000/4,000= $39

Now, we can calculate the break-even point:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 81,900/ [(60 - 39) / 60]= $234,000

On October 1, Hawking Corp. had 40,000 shares of $2 par value common stock outstanding before it declared a 2-for-1 stock split.

Naily [24]

Answer:

1. After the split, how many shares of common stock are outstanding and what is their par value per share?

40,000 stocks outstanding x 2 = 80,000 stocks outstanding after the stock split

par value of each stock = $2 / 2 = $1

Aren't both questions the same?

2. After the split, the number of shares outstanding is 80,000 and the par value per share is $1.

Explanation:

When a stock split happens, the total number of outstanding stock is just multiplied by the stock split factor, in this case it was 2, but other times it might be 4 or 7 (like Apple stock). You just multiply total outstanding stock by the split number. On the other hand, par value is calculated by dividing the current par value by the split number.
