Answer:

a. 90,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps

Explanation:

To determine the optimise total contribution, we need to calculate the contribution margin per hour of machine time for both the lamps. Then the result of whichever is higher would be produced.

Moreover, as there is no limitation on how many lamps can be produced, therefore, we would assume that we can make as many as we want up to the limit of machine-hours available. The calculation is done as follows:

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one classic lamp

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 13 / 0.2

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 65

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one fancy lamp

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 21 / 0.5

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 42

Since classic lamp has the higher contribution margin per hour. Therefore, all the machine hours would be used to make classic lamps.

= 18,000 / 0.2

= 90,000

Hence, 90,000 classic lamps would be sold while no fancy lamps will be sold to optimise total contribution (which would be 65 x 18,000 = $1,170,000).

Kids' Corner, a toy store, ordered a supply of stuffed toys from Toyland Inc. The toys were supposed to be delivered on the 1st of December but were sent to Kids' Corner on the 5th of December. There has been a(n) _____ of contract.  

A. compensatory breach

B. anticipatory breach

C. material breach

D. concurrent breach

<u>Correct Option:</u>

There has been a <u>material breach</u>  of contract.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A contract law concept that applies to a non-performance under the contract that is sufficiently serious to give the grieved party the right to sue for contravention of the contract, is understood as a material break or infringement.

If a substantive violation has occurred, the aggrieved party is therefore deprived of a contractual duty to further results. Here the Kids' Corner toy store ordered a supply of stuffed toys from Toyland Inc. but received order in delay date, which is considered as material breach due to late delivery of expected material.

In his search for a franchised business that would satisfy his passion for the outdoors and also earn him a decent living, Asher

In business we refer to this obligation as a<u> </u><u>royalty</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A royalty is a charge paid by one person, such as the licensee or franchisee, to somebody else who owns a specific asset such as the rights holder or franchise owner, for the ability to utilize that asset on a continuing basis.This is usually accepted as a percentage of total or total profit obtained through the use of an product or a certain value per unit sold from an item of this kind, although there are still other forms and measures of revenue.

For an illustration, the royalty value for having its e-copy or printing a book like a novel, for selling internationally ranges from 20 to 30% of the overall value of retail selling that the publisher or distributor receives. The fee is paid by them and as with all music royalties, refers to the arrangement (license) between both the writer and the publisher or distributor.
