Answer: A. $250 million

Explanation:

The firm is a Monopoly and is lobbying Congress to remain that way. As a monopoly it makes $10 million a year and wants to remain a monopoly for the next 25 years.

Assuming there is no discount rate which means that the value of money stays the same over the 25 years, if they succeed in Congress, they have a chance to make a total profit of,

= 10 million * 25 years

= $250 million

If the maximum amount the firm can make if the lobbying is successful is $250 million, this is the maximum they will pay to lobby for a deterrence to entry. If they pay any amount more than $250 million, they will be making a loss and therefore it would make no sense to spend that amount of the lobbying.

<em>Thus we need to find the Direct Labor Cost first</em>:

Total Labor Costs               $360,000

<em>Less </em>Indirect Labor Costs<em>  </em>$100,000

Direct Labor Cost              $260,000

<em>Therefore Overheads applied would be determined as:</em>

= $260,000 × 70%

= $182,000

How does supporting fair trade help consumers?
Soloha48 [4]
Fair trade in smaller territories e.g the carribean islands, support customers in the way that the goods are duty free and exporting and importing is cheaper because no fee is needed for the government of either islands. That's how it works here where I live in the eastern Caribbean.

You will need to unplug your tools:
cupoosta [38]

You will need to unplug your tools “when changing accessories such as blades, bits, and cutters”.

Hand tools are devices that are controlled physically. Hand devices incorporate anything from axes to torques. The hazards postured by hand apparatuses result from abuse and ill-advised support. Unplug or disconnect tools when not utilizing them, before overhauling and cleaning them, and while changing accessories, for example, sharp edges, bits, and cutters.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A defined benefit pension plan is a type of pension plan where the employer gives a promise with respect to the particular pension payment that could be lumpsum for the retirement basis

Since in the question it is mentioned that the companies would not continue with the defined benefit plan and they move to the defined-contribution plans that save for the retirement so that it would create the more responsibility over the company due to this they would provide the retirement benefit but this statement is false as it is better to received the lumpsum amount
