Price controls will tend to cause mis-allocation of resources because the cost of production (or opportunity) does not match market prices any more.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Price controls can be as high and low prices as possible. You can control demand and balance the market whether above or below it:  

  • Higher prices may reduce food costs and make it easy to buy, but the downside of high prices can lead to a decline in supply and a shortage.
  • The recipients of prices may increase the minimum prices..
  • In farming, they were used to increase farmers' incomes. Minimum prices however lead to surplus supplies, which mean the government must buy surpluses.

Fred Hash worked for Van Stavern Construction Co. as a field supervisor in charge of constructing a new plant facility. Hash ent
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

<em>Ratification by Principal One of the criteria for enactment is that all material truths involved in the transaction must be known to the Principal. Van Stavern was not aware of Hash's behaviour. </em>

He did not realize that somehow the steel is being shipped under his name, and that the shipments were being billed him directly. Unlike liability through obvious authority, approval by the principal is a positive act by which he or she acknowledges the agent's illegal actions.

Just a principal would ratify; thus, Van Stavern was not directly imputed to information by the invoices and checks signed by Van Stavern's workers.

The court stated that the use of corporate checks was further proof that Van Stavern regarded the expenditures as business, not private. So Van Stavern could not be held personally liable.

Remember that on Sutton Steel that's not excessively harsh. Sutton understood it was working with a building company and did not seek to get the personal approval of the contract from Van Stavern.

<em>Lawfully, Sutton's agreement in this case is called an unaccepted offer which can be withdrawn at any time.</em>

aalyn [17]

Answer:

A. 40,000

Explanation:

Data provided

Sold units = 39,000

Beginning units = 16,000

Ending units = 17,000

The computation of units is shown below:-

Production units = Sale unit + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory

= 39,000 + 17,000 - 16,000

= 56,000 - 16,000

= 40,000

So, for computing the production sales we simply applied the above formula.
