Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the sacrificed benefits in a decision. when choosing between alternatives, people can only enjoy the benefits from the chosen option. The advantages from the other alternatives not selected are foregone. The missed benefits from the options not selected are the opportunity costs.

Awarding employees with a pay increase will cost the private limited company money. The company could have spent that money in different other ways. For example, instead of awarding a pay increase, the company could have invested in new modern machinery, invested in shares of another company, or opened another branch. Assuming buying shares was the next best alternative to awarding pay rise, the missed dividends, and capital gains from shares not bought is the opportunity cost.

Account receivable % = Account Receivable/Total Assets x 100

Account receivable % = $ 497,000/$ 3,101,000 * 100

Account receivable % = 0.16027088 * 100

Account receivable % = 16.0%

Inventory % = Inventory/Total Assets *100

Inventory % = $ 735,000/$ 3,101,000 * 100

Inventory % = 0.2370203 * 100

Inventory % = 23.7 %

Total Assets = $3,101,000 = 100%

Account receivable % = Account Receivable/Total Assets * 100

Account receivable % = $ 435,000/$ 2,758,000 * 100

Account receivable % = 0.15772298 * 100

Account receivable % = 15.8%

Inventory % = Inventory/Total Assets * 100

Inventory % = $555,000/$ 2,758,000 * 100

Inventory % = 0.20123277 * 100

Inventory % = 20.1%

Total Assets = $2,758,000 = 100 %

Explanation:

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties which contains the terms and conditions of the contract and which also serve as an evidence that the two parties in the contract has a duty to perform to each other. The terms and conditions of the contract can be enforced in the court of law in case of a breach of contract which may come from either parties in the contract agreement. While, a contract interference is a kind of breach of contract in which one vendor put a pressure on the organization in which they offer service to withdraw from the contract the organization earlier had with one of their competitors in the market. This contract interference can occur when a vendor either force or put a financial inducement on the organization with a view to make them consider their proposal to the organization to eventually agree to abandon the contract they had with their competitors in favour of getting the contract instead of their competitors who should get the contract.

Therefore, from what we can deduce from the question under review, it is clear that A plus linen has engage in contract interference by offering John C Lincoin hospital $5 for every 100 pound of linen they send to them by dropping their current linen service.
