Answer:

B. Unethically exploiting their power and size in the marketplace.

Explanation:

Infringing upon a patent in this way breaks the ethical barrier. Gaggle Inc. not on builds the knock-off product but does so because they realize that Chirp Chirp does not have the financial capability to fight them. If both companies were of a similar stature Gaggle Inc. would not have done this as they would be penalized after legal proceedings.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer: $2100

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Oakley Company does not ring up sales taxes separately on the cash register and that the total receipts for February amounted to $32,100 and the sales tax rate is 7%.

The amount that must be remitted to the state for February's sales taxes will be:

= $32,100/(1+7%) × 7%

= $32100/(1 + 0.07) × 0.07

= $32100/1.07 × 0.07

= $2100

Sue plans to mix peppermints worth $1.20 per lb with chocolates worth $2.40 per lb to get a 40 lb mix that is worth $1.65 per lb
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Each should be used as follows:

Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb

Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb

Explanation:

Suppose

Weight of peppermints = X

Weight of Chocolates = Y

So According to given condition

X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)

1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)

By multiplying  (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get

1.2X + 1.2Y = 48  (Eq. 3)

Now by subtracting  (Eq. 2) from  (Eq. 3)

(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66

1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18

1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)

-1.2Y = -18

1.2Y = 18

Y = 18/1.2

Y = 15

By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)

X + 15 = 40

X = 40 - 15

X = 25

<u>Check</u>

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66

1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66

66 = 66

lesantik [10]

Answer:

$26,000 adverse variance

Explanation:

Fixed Overheads Volume Variance = Budgeted Overheads at Actual Output - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                             = $1.30 x 60,000 hours - $1.30 x 80,000

                                                             = $78,000 - $104,000

                                                             = $26,000 adverse variance

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is $26,000 adverse variance
