Therefore, if when a consumer enters a store and sees similarly priced products, one imported and one made domestically, they can choose a US made product without feeling as if they are overpaying for the same product. Many American consumers would like to purchase American products but if American products are considerably priced higher than imports, it will make it a difficult decision. Since the protective tariffs would even the playing field for the consumer, it would be a beneficial implementation. 2. Point #2: Tariffs protect American jobs and wages.
I also don’t agree with him saying cochlear implants wont work well for young children and there better off for “healthy adults.” I believe that is would probably be easier for children to learn how to use this cochlear implant as a tool because at those young ages they soak up all information they can receive, rather then adults who are sometimes stuck in their ways. I don’t know this for a fact but this is what I believe can also be a circumstance. I do agree with him saying there are a lot of risks for children but those risks can also be just as big as a risk for adults. Like in Kathryn’s article she says you need to look at the big picture and what great potential the cochlear implant can have for children or adults. I also don’t agree with what they both say about the deaf
Cost a) Cost of Production: Albatross Anchor should look at lowering production costs in order to realize greater profit margins. By increasing production, Albatross Anchor will be able to decrease fixed costs. They would be able to spread the costs across more units which would decrease the price per unit they need to pay. Production costs decrease with increases in production levels. This will help to recapture profit margins lost to inefficiency and make them better competitors in their chosen market, (Russell & Taylor, 2011).

Capacity makes a difference in the minimum price that can be set. If Rightway is close to capacity limits, it would replace regular business with the special order and need to price the order the same as regular business that it would forego to take the order. In this problem, 5% of capacity would be used for regular business, and 5% would be excess capacity. So, the special order would need to be priced high enough to replace the lost contribution margin of the 5% of regular business. E. Usually when operations get close to capacity limits, costs go up.
Company G has prided itself on cultivating relationships with it's suppliers built on honesty, confidence, and allegiance in order to facilitate profits for both parties. However, as popularity may grow for the product so too may the market and suppliers might consider increasing costs, in which case a fixed contract would be discussed.

Tesco immediately criticised the move as "senseless" which is an indicator of how significant this is. It is the first time that a government body has recognised that one supermarket's dominance might be bad for consumers - and for small retailers, suppliers and the high street. If the government agrees the test would stop a supermarket opening a new store if it already had more than 60% of the grocery sales in an area within a 10-minute drive, or if there were fewer than three rival supermarkets in the area.
Nevertheless the documentary is extremely biased, it makes the fast food companies looks like enemies and it doesn’t even give a point of view which could go against his ideas. Furthermore the article very direct and visual approach is very effective, the viewer certainly captures Spurlock’s message that fast food is very harmful for everyone’s health.
