Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: Corrective advertising.

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept known as <em>"Corrective Advertising"</em> refers to a severe penalty that is used by many agencies, including the Federal Trade Commision, in ordert to impose to the companies the fact that they had worked unethically regarding certain advertisements that they have been controled by the agency. Therefore that the corrective advertising is a way to penalize those companies, that had advertised products with false information or that might cause harm to the consumers.

What are two companies that are becoming extinct from the digital disruption?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Travel websites such as Expedia (EXPE), Kayak, and Travelocity have eliminated the need for human travel agents.

Tax software such as TurboTax has eliminated tens of thousands of jobs for tax accountants.

Newspapers have seen their circulation numbers decline steadily, replaced by online media and blogs. Increasingly, computer software is actually writing news stories, especially local news and sporting event results.

Language translation is becoming more and more accurate, reducing the need for human translators. The same goes for dictation and proof-reading.

Secretaries, phone operators, and executive assistants are being replaced by enterprise software, automated telephone systems, and mobile apps.

If the contribution margin ratio for france company is 45%, sales were $425,000, and fixed costs were $100,000, what was the inc
Semenov [28]

Answer:

d. $91,250

Explanation:

We can calculate variable costs by using the contribution margin ratio formula.

Contribution Margin Ratio= Sales revenue Less Variable Costs/Sales revenue

45%= $ 425,000- Variable Costs / $ 425,000

45% * $425,000= $ 425,000 -Variable Costs

$ 191250= $ 425,000- Variable Costs

Variable Costs = $ 425,000- $ 191250

Variable Costs = $ 233750

Sales $ 425,000

Variable Costs 233750

Fixed Costs= $ 100,000

Income from Operations= $ 91250
