Answer:

Quasi contract

Explanation:

A Quasi contract refers to an agreement between two parties who owed no past obligation to one another. It is a kind of a fictional contract which the law recognizes.

The characteristic feature of a quasi contract is that obligation is not created by any of the parties but by law. Such a contract does not exist out of agreement but by the operation of the law.

The objective behind imposition of such a contract by the law is to ensure fairness and justness to a party.

In the given case, Ann out of mistake, mowed Donna's lawn. Ann acted in good faith as she wasn't aware at the time of performing her duty but Donna was fully aware and let the act of mowing done to her own advantage. Later when Ann realized and asked for payment, Donna refused.

In this case, the party who acted in good faith would be at a loss if the law does not intervene and impose a contractual obligation on Donna to pay Ann for her work. The contract imposed by law in such a case under which Ann would recover her payment would be termed as a Quasi Contract.

How does the work done by agriculture communications professionals compare to and differ from that of other marketing workers?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Agriculture communications professionals need to have the same basic background on marketing, covering areas such as market research, product research, and market communication.

However, they will also need to have an agriculture-related background, because they need to understand the dynamics of the agriculture business, from farm issues, to the kind of crops or produce that they can buy or sell in a specific area, to even agricultural policy.

snow_tiger [21]

Price is taken to be a given by an individual firm selling in a purely competitive market because each seller supplies a negligible fraction of total market.

Purely competitive market refers to a marketing situation in which there are a large number of sellers of a product which cannot be differentiated selling a standardized product and therefore, no single firm has a significant influence on the product price. It is characterized, furthermore, by ease of entry for new companies into the market and perfect market information. Hence, the sellers in such a market are considered to be price takers. Examples of purely competitive market are agricultural products such as wheat or corn.

german

Answer:

Horatio Alger

1. The unit contribution for Brand X is = $0.79

2. Brand X's break-even point (in units) = 1,816,456 (in sales dollars) = $1,816,456

3. The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 9.1%

4. Brand X's profit impact is 48.9% or $2,347,000

a. If the advertising budget is raised, units that Brand X have to sell to break-even is:

= 2,449,367 units

b. The units that Brand X have to sell in order for it to achieve the same profit impact that it did this year is:

= 5,865,886 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 25.5% next year for its profit impact to be the same as this year.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 16.2% for it to have a $1 million profit impact.

5. a. Break-even sales units = 2,474,138 units

b. Break-even sales units = 6,520,690 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 32.6% for its profit impact to remain at this year's level.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 15.4% to generate a profit impact of $350,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Retail price of Brand X = $1.00

Units sold = 24% of 20 million = 4,800,000 units

Total sales revenue =              $1.00  $4,800,000

Variable costs:

Manufacturing                         $0.09

Selling commision (10% of $1) $0.10

Other selling expense            $0.02

Total variable costs per unit   $0.21  $1,008,000

Contribution margin per unit $0.79  $3,782,000

Fixed costs:

Manufacturing                $900,000

Advertising                       500,000

Brand X manager's salary 35,000    $1,435,000

Net income =                                     $2,347,000

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit = $1,435,000/$0.79 = 1,816,456 units

The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 1,816,456/20,000,000

= 9.1%

Brand X's profit impact = 48.9% ($2,347,000/$4,800,000 * 100)

With increase in advertising budget to $1 million next year,

a. Units to break-even = $1,935,000/$0.79 = 2,449,367 units

b. Units to achieve same profit impact:

Sales increased by 15% (3/20 * 100)

Net income will increase to = $2,699,050 ($2,347,000 * 1.15)  to make the same impact

Therefore, the units to achieve same profit impact = ($1,935,000 + $2,699,050)/$0.79

= $4,634,050/$0.79

= 5,865,886 units

Market share next year = 25.5% (5,865,886/23,000,000)

Market share to achieve $1 million profit impact

= (FC + Profit target)/$0.79

=  $1,935,000 + $1,000,000)/$0.79

= $2,935,000/$0.79

= $3,715,190

= $3,715,190/$23,000,000 * 100 = 16.2%

Fixed costs = $1,435,000

Retailer's margin raise = 40% from 33%, a 21.2% increase or decrease in price

Therefore, the new selling price = $1.00 * (1 - 0.212) = $0.79

Variable cost = $0.21

Contribution margin = $0.58

To break-even, FC/Contribution margin per unit

= $1,435,000/$0.58

= 2,474,138 units

Break-even units to achieve profit of $2,347,000 = ($1,435,000 + $2,347,000)/$0.58

= 6,520,690 units

Sales = $5,151,345 (6,520,690 * $0.79)

Market sales revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

= $5,151,345/$15,800,000 * 100

= 32.6%

Market impact of $350,000

Break-even units ($1,435,000 + $350,000)/$0.58

= 3,077,586 units

Sales revenue = $2,431,293 (3,077,586 * $0.79)

Market revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

Market share = $2,431,293/$15,800,000 * 100

= 15.4%

Sav [38]

Answer:

The sustainable growth rate is 16.52%

Explanation:

To compute the substantial growth rate, first, we have to calculate the retention ratio. The formula to compute the retention ratio is shown below:

= 1 – payout ratio

= 1 – 0.16

=0.84 or 84%

Now, we use the formula of substantial growth rate which is shown below:

= (Return on equity × retention ratio) ÷ { 1 -  (Return on equity × retention ratio)}

where,

Return on equity = (Net income ÷ total equity) × 100

                            = ($3,640 ÷ $21,560) × 100

                            = 16.88%

= (16.88% × 84%) ÷ ( 1 -  16.88% × 84%)

= 0.141792 ÷ (1 -  0.141792 )

= 0.141792  ÷ 0.858208

= 0.1652 or 16.52%
