Answer:
The total contribution margin for the firm is: $209,095
Explanation:
The contribution margin is calculated by using following formula:
Contribution margin = Total sales – Total variable costs
In International Imports,
Total sales = $674,500
Total variable costs = cost of goods sold + total variable selling and administrative expense = $404,700 + $60,705 = $465,405
Contribution margin = $674,500 - $465,405 = $209,095

It does not choose discriminatory the more you spend the more you pay, from a moral perspective people would rather pay for what they get rather than what they make and then possibly invest or save. They would not want to pay taxes at least 3 times if it is an investment.
Answer:
coefficient = 0
Explanation:
We have the formula to calculate the price elasticity of demand as following:
<em>Elasticity coefficient = % Change in quantity/ % Change in price</em>
As given:
+) The percentage change in price is: (120-150)/150= - 20%
+) The quantity bought remains unchanged - which means the percentage change in quantity demanded is 0%
=> <em>Elasticity coefficient = % Change in quantity/ % Change in price</em>
<em>= 0/-20 = 0</em>
<em />
<em>So the coefficient of price elasticity of demand in this example would be 0</em>
Answer:
a. $295.81
Explanation:
Total market value = (310 * 10.2) + (260 * 20.4)
Total market value = 3,162 + 5,304
Total market value = 8466
Joint cost allocated to L on basis of value
= [ (310 * 10.2) / 8,466] * 792
= (3,162 / 8,466) * 792
= $295.81
Answer:
The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.
Explanation:
That is the answer. Because by the law, you actually "CAN" patent a living creature or an organism that you invented and that does not exist naturally.
So, a patent application CAN NOT be denied on the grounds that the invention is a living thing.
However, if a plant or any organism exists in nature and has reproduced, then it cannot be patented. Because then it has become a natural occurrence. This is a stern limitation and a criteria put on patents for living organisms.
Patenting living organism such as anti bacteria and bacteria is common in pharmaceutical industry while patenting unique seed types are common in agricultural sector.
