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.

Explain how the production possibilities curve can be used to illustrate each of the following: a. wastefulness b. what happens
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

A. wastefulness - production inside PPC ; B. Economy growth - PPC shift outwards/rightwards ; C. Economy at Productive Efficiency - production on PPC ; D. Unattainable Production- Outside PPC

Explanation:

PPC is graphical representation of production combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.

PPC is based on assumption : That resources are best efficiently utilised. So, all product combinations ON PPC reflect 'Economy is at Productive Efficiency'

All production points INSIDE PPC reflect inefficient utilisation of resources i.e 'Wastage'

Points OUTSIDE PPC are 'Unattainable Product Combinations'- as they are beyond economy's best optimum production, given resources & technology.

'Economic growth' is increase in resources &/or technology which increases economy's production potential and PPC curve SHIFTS rightwards or outwards.

b) Average time spend at the ticket office is = 10 minutes

c) Proportion of time server is busy:

"Christie and Jergens formed a partnership with capital contributions of $300,000 and $400,000, respectively. Their partnership
Katen [24]

Answer:

The Christie and Jergens's respective shares are $92,500 and $42,500.

Explanation:

For computing the Christie and Jergens's respective shares, first, we have to compute the remaining income which is to be shared between these two partners. The computation is shown below:

= Net income - salary - interest on total capital

= $135,000 - $60,000 - 10% × ($300,000 + $400,000)

= $135,000 - $60,000 - $70,000

= $5,000

So, the remaining income would be divided equally between the partners

Now

Christie shares = Salary + interest on capital + remaining income

                         = $60,000 + ($300,000 × $10%) + $2,500

                         = $60,000 + $30,000 + $2,500

                         = $92,500

And, the Jergens shares  =  interest on capital + remaining income

                                          = ($400,000 × $10%) + $2,500

                                          = $40,000 + $2,500

                                          = $42,500
