Answer:
Political and Legal
Explanation:
Hoffman-LaRoche Ltd. and BASF AG, two international pharmaceutical companies, were ordered to pay $725 million in fines for plotting to raise and fix prices of vitamins used in virtually every home in the U.S. This is an example of how <u>political and legal</u> forces affect the marketing environment.
Business organisations operate within a political system and legal framework. Political factors determine economic policies like taxation and regulations. Business decisions are subject to, and are affected by political and legal factors.
Governments formulate a series of legislations to monitor business activities and protect consumer and social interests.
Such laws would either create new opportunities or threats for the businesses in existence.
In the Scenario above Hoffman-LaRoche and BASF AG must have violated regulations that protect consumer interests put in place by the government by wanting consumers to pay too high for such necessities as vitamins and huge fines have been imposed on them.
Answer:
ABC's retained earnings balance at the end of April is $11,400
Explanation:
The addition to retained earnings in the current month is revenue derived from providing services to customers minus the expenses such as rent and employee salaries
Net income for the month=$2,000+$900-$800-$700=$1400
Retained earnings at month end=opening retained earnings+net income

Answer:
113,000.
Explanation:
Let go through all the items to see whether we need to include them in the initial outlay or not.
(1) $100,000 worth of equipment => Yes
(2) Shipping will cost $5,000 and installation will cost $8,000 => Yes (Add to purchase price of equipment)
(3) Paid a management consultant $4,000 to analyze this project => No =>This is sunk cost (already incurred regardless of accept or reject the prject)
(4) Increase sales by $20,000 per year => No => under operating cashflow.
(5) $3,500 to train the employees to use the new equipment => No => under operating cashflow.
So, total initial outlay = 100,000 + 5,000 + 8,000 = 113,000.
