Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Market offerings can be defined as a company's complete offer to its customers and target market, including the product it sells, delivery, technical support, etc.

Market myopia happens when the company has an inward looking approach, the company wants to sell what they produce, not what consumers' need and want. This will eventually lead to business failure since the company will not be able to adapt to market changes, e.g. Nokia insisted on manufacturing regular cellphones instead of smartphones because it was the world leader in the manufacturing of regular cellphones.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The quantity is likely to decrease, the change in price depends on the extent of change in demand and supply.

Explanation:

The fear of the mad cow disease lead to a reduction in the demand for beef. This caused the demand curve to move to the left.

At the same time, destruction of cattle heads ordered by the government lead to a reduction in the supply of beef. This caused the supply curve to move to the left.

This leftward shift in both demand as well as supply curve will lead to a reduction in the equilibrium quantity of beef.

The change in price of beef depends upon the extent of change in demand and supply. If both decrease by the same extent, the price will remain the same.

Smith is a CPA. His neighbor, Jones, asks him to prepare his tax return. Jones and Smith are casual friends. Smith prepares the

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Jones is liable to pay.

He is liable to pay to the tune of $1000. This may be negotiated however if it is not fair.

Explanation:

See the following points

The question above is an example of Implied At-law contracts. (We will get to the definition of this in a bit).

A contract is a legally binding agreement that recognises and governs the rights and duties of the parties to the agreement. A contract is legally enforceable because it meets the requirements and approval of the Law. From the above definition it is clear that two people may actually be engaging in a contract without knowing it.

The law defines that a contract is.

Contracts may be Express or Implied.
Express contracts are simply contracts that are stated expressly, or openly, in either writing or orally, at the time of contract formation.
Implied contracts are created when two or more parties have no written contract.
There are two types of implied contracts:

Implied In-Fact Contracts: these are contracts which create an obligation between the parties based on the facts of the situation. For example, assume your neighbor hires you to wash his car every Friday for the entire holidays. You wash your neighbor’s car for the first four weekends of the holidays and get paid on Friday morning each time. The fifth Friday you wash the car and when you arrive at your neighbor’s house for your pay, your neighbor refuses to pay you. The law will infer that there is a contract between you and your neighbor, even though you never put anything in writing. This is an implied in-fact contract.

2. The other type of Implied contract is that which is Implied At-Law

In the case between Jones and Smith, the law imposes a duty to perform a contract, and will enforce such a contract even against a person’s will, where the situation is such that without this legal intervention, one party would be unfairly enriched or advantaged by another party’s action.

In the question above, Smith is a CPA. He is qualified in every respect to carry out Professional Tax services. His services may be relied upon with a great degree of confidence.

If Jones had not filed those tax returns, he probably would have lost monies that should have accrued to him from the government.

This type of agreement is also considered a quasi-contract. A quasi-contract occurs where the law imposes an obligation upon the parties where in fact the parties did not intend to enter into a contract and made no promise to perform.

However, because one party would be unjustly enriched by another party’s action, the beneficiary of those actions must make restitution or pay fair value for the services provided, even though there was never any intention to enter into an agreement.

Cheers!

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

(A) 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

(B) 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

(C) Margin of Safety 40% of Sales

Explanation:

(A)

$Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin$

275 - 150 = 125 CM per unit

$\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}$

$\frac{225,000}{125} = 1,800 = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}$

${units \: sold- BEP_{units} = margin \: of \: safety_{units}$

3,000 - 1,800 = 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution per unit. Then the BEP in units and with that the margin of safety in units.

(B)

$\frac{Contribution Margin}{Sales Revenue} = $Contribution Margin Ratio$

125/275 = 0.45454545 = 5/11 CM ratio

$\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}$

225,000/(5/11) = 495,000 BEP USD

${current \:sales - BEP_{USD} = margin \: of \: safety$

825,000-495,000 = 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution ratio by dividing CM over sales. Then the BEP in dollars and with that the margin of safety in dollars.

Important: When posible to avoid rounding errors express as fraction iof posible

(C)

$\frac{current \:sales - BEP_{USD}}{current \:sales} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety$

$\frac{330,000}{825,000} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety$

Margin of Safety 40%
