Putnam Corporation makes a sleeping pill that is legally sold in the United States. Putnam has a contract with a chain of pharma

cies to provide 4,800 cases of the sleeping pill for retail sale. One month after the contract is signed, but before any pills have been delivered, the Food and Drug Administration passes regulations that make it illegal to buy or sell the drug because it is highly addictive and has caused high levels of abuse, as well as a few deaths.

<u>Answer: </u>Yes, due to the action taken by the government it makes it difficult to perform under the contract.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the contract was signed by Putnam corporation and the pharmacies it was legal and valid contract. Due to the after effects of the pills sold by the pharmacies Food and Drug Administration has passed new regulations that the drug sold is illegal. The contract should also abide by the regulations passed by government authorities.

So the contract between the pharmacy and Putnam becomes void. The pharmacy chain is out of the contract and need not sell the drugs which are addictive and which has caused few deaths.

How supply and demand work together to reach the equilibrium price in the marketplace? Please give at least a paragraph. Thank y
grandymaker [24]

Answer

Before I answer this question, you must note that the equilibrium price is created by both the amount supplied of a certain product as well as how much "customers" there are (or the amount that is bought in all).  This however, is usually not taking account any potential competitors.

For example, let say that the price in creating the product (or buying) is $15. This means that right now, the company loses $15 for one of the products. To make a profit, the selling price must be >$15. However, (unless they are a monopoly, such as, for example, electrical companies) there are competitors that they must fight with to get customers. Of course, there are other things that can affect the price, depending on the demographic and area.

So how does supply and demand affect the equilibrium price? The limits of the supply & the amount of demand would help determine the price by the amount of people buying and the supply of the product.

disa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": a leftward shift of the demand curve because of the high price.

Explanation:

The equilibrium price represents the point at which buyers' demand and sellers supply face each other because both parties' needs are satisfied. If the price of a given product is higher than the equilibrium level, the quantity demanded is likely to decrease which directly implies a leftward move in the demand curve.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

the depreciation expense at the end of the first year, December 31 is $ 8,250

Explanation:

Straight line Method of Depreciation Charges the same amount of depreciation over the useful life of the asset.

Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life

Depreciation Charge = ($50,000-$6,000) / 4 years

                                   = $11,000

<u>Apportionment of Depreciation Charge</u>

<em>From April 5 to December 13 there are 9 months</em>

Therefore depreciation for the year is apportioned as follows :

Depreciation Charge = 9/12× $11,000

                                   = $ 8,250
