Point #2: Tariffs protect American jobs and wages. (Points: 13) I find this position to be valid. Protective tariffs are designed to raise the retail price of imported products so that domestic goods are more competitively priced (Nickels, McHugh & McHugh, 2008, p. 76). Therefore, if products are competitively priced then the consumer will be more likely to purchase domestic products instead of imports. Since consumers will be more likely to support American vendors, this will keep the American businesses running and not force them to cut costs to compete with imports.
As stated in MKTG, sustainability ‘refers to the idea that socially responsible companies will outperform their peers by focusing on the world’s social problems and viewing them as opportunities to build profits and help the world at the same time(p.38)’. I believe that Coca-Cola is sustainable in the way that they are focuses on the world’s social problem by wanting to stop or lower the amount of obese people as they said in their commercial and as it says in the article. They get to also make more profit that way by having the people that want to lose weight buying their new products with few or zero calories. 2) Why is it important for corporations like Coca-Cola to consider social and environmental issues in their decision making process? It is important for corporations like Coca-Cola to
To increase their taxes would be appropriate and this would be stream lining taxes at a time when the economy needs a boost. The Keynesian economists would look at government spending as a means for the government to stop the little growth the economy has had and is to have. The government spending would make it so the people would not have the money to spend within the states and they would have to go without needs and desires. This in turn would be the money that could be used within the economy.
Bill S.348 and bill H.R.486 would benefit all parties involved economically in the long run. If laws are put in place to increase educational demands and monitoring of medication history it will lead to the decrease of this type of drug abuse (www.ncsl.org). Patients inability to “doctor shop” will allow for less prescribing which will decrease street selling and crime related costs. According to Pisgah Laboratories in North Carolina, adding drug deterrent technology will increase the federal budget by about $200 billion overall (www.pigsahlabs.com). Cons: It will cost the federal government more money now due to having to pay out grants, as well as the pharmaceutical companies due to having to add drug deterrent ingredients to medications
laterality issue much like amputation of the incorrect limb); I believe that this does deserve to be compensated accordingly and not be capped. Outrageous verdicts are undermining the healthcare system; causing malpractice to rise and leading to increase in physician charges to compensate for these charges. I truly do not believe that it should be an uneducated (medically) jury members making the decision as to price yet should be educated medical professionals along with a judge that makes such decision. A uniform federal cap of $250,000 dollars is definitely a start, but is not the answer to what troubles today’s healthcare system. It’s the initiation of Obamacare, erroneous lawsuits, and the pure lack of thought that comes from our congressmen as it relates to decisions from the Centers of Medicaid and Medicare that leads to our troublesome and futuristically failing healthcare system.
It would make insurance more affordable and making tax cuts for the middle class. It would reduce the premiums for millions of people that can’t afford coverage. It sets up a competitive health care markets system to Americans. They would start greater accountability on the health care to keep the premiums down and prevent insurance industry abuses and denial of care. They would end the discrimination of Americans with pre-existing conditions.
If Datril decides to employ the second option, I do think they may be able to gain some market share from Tylenol’s existing customers, however if the drugs are identical, the only competitive advantage is price. Unfortunately, price is one the easiest advantages for a company to counter attack. Because Tylenol is the market leader of acetaminophen, they can employ the defense strategy and be successful in their counter attack Bristol-Myers. If Tylenol lowers their prices to match Datril’s, there will be no advantage in the market. The other risk with this option is the longevity of any marketing materials created.
This would be more beneficial in the end in conjunction with raising excise taxes for the consumer; because the alcohol producers will forward the taxes on to the consumer, creating yet an even pricier drink for the consumer. 2. Analyze how prescription drugs affect the demand and supply of other products and services in this country. As prescription drugs are formulated, there are many millions of dollars that go into the final chemical
However, EU producers are looking to cut subsidies on the production of olive oil, which would increase the price to Pe and decrease the quantity supplied and quantity demanded to Qe. These measures are all in favor of non-European olive producers, since the competitiveness is improved as the price of European olive oil approaches the world
