I would say D makes the most sense
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.
I guess the correct answer is $15.77
Franktown Meats just announced that they are increasing the annual dividend to $1.75 and establishing a policy whereby the dividend will increase by 2% annually thereafter. One share of this stock be worth six years from now is $15.77 if the required rate of return is 14.5%
Read the fine print, if it says “after signing, this contract is final.” Then Otto is screwed, because he must pay the $50,000
Or, Otto could hire a lawyer to fight it in court
