Answer:

Unrelated Diversification

Explanation:

The reason is that the company has entered in a number of product offering that are unrelated to each other. This means the company has subtantially reduced its industry risk by managing a portfolio of products that are different from each other from industry perspective. This is an example of unrelated diversification because comics are unrelated to sports figures, music videos and motion pictures.

B. $840 Unfavorable

C. $1,560 Unfavorable

D. $800 Favorable

E. $30 Unfavorable

F. $790 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:-

A. Sales = (Budget quantity - Actual quantity) × Budgeted sale price

= ($8.10 - $7.80) × 2,400

= $0.3 × 2,400

= $720 Unfavorable

B. Variable manufacturing = (Actual variable cost - Budgeted variable manufacturing cost) × Budgeted sale price

= ($4.25 - $3.90) × 2,400

= $0.35 × 2,400

= $840 Unfavorable

C. Contribution margin = ((Budgeted sales price - Budgeted variable manufacturing cost) - (Actual sale price - Actual variable cost)) × Budgeted sale price

= (($8.10 - $3.90) - ($7.80 - $4.25)) × 2,400

= $0.65 × 2,400

= $1,560 Unfavorable

D. Fixed manufacturing = Actual fixed manufacturing cost - Budgeted  Fixed manufacturing cost

= $1,300 - $2,100

= $800 Favorable

E. Fixed selling and admin cost = Actual selling and administrative costs - Budgeted fixed selling and administrative cost

= $530 - $500

= $30 Unfavorable

F. Net income (loss) = Contribution margin - Fixed manufacturing + Fixed selling and admin cost

= $1,560 - $800 + $30

= $790 Unfavorable

Verdich [7]

Orson has probably committed the tort of conversion unless he can show that <u>"Harrison does not really own the car."</u>


Conversion is an intentional tort comprising of taking with the goal of practicing over the property a proprietorship conflicting with the genuine proprietor's privilege of possession". In the United Kingdom, it is a tort of strict liability. Its counterparts in criminal law incorporate robbery or burglary and criminal change. In those wards that remember it, criminal transformation is a lesser wrongdoing than burglary/theft.

Barriers to International Trade Countries often use various government regulations to manipulate the amount of goods and service
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

1. Embargoes and sanctions

When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.

2. Tariffs

This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.

3. Import Quota

Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.

4. Tariff.

This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.

5. Import Quota.

This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.

6. Embargoes and Sanctions.

This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.
