$570,000

Explanation:

The calculation of amount of sales is shown below:-

Contribution = $520,000 × 40%

= $208,000

Fixed cost = Contribution - Profit

= $208,000  - $70,000

= $138,000

Revised fixed cost for next year = Fixed cost + Increased Fixed expenses

= $138,000 + $10,000

= $148,000

Amount of sales = (Profit + Fixed cost) ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= ($148,000 + $80,000) ÷ 40%

= $228,000 ÷ 40%

= $570,000

the answer is "b.the increased supply will create a surplus. "

the essential thought behind price controls is straightforward - utilize the power of law to modify the equilibrium of a market. for instance, the legislature may choose that the steel business needs to survive, and in this way pass a law to set a value floor on steel. this implies all steel sold must offer at or over the floor value, which must be set over the equilibrium cost for it to have any impact. the switch could likewise happen - the administration can choose that steel is excessively costly and set a value roof underneath its equilibrium value, with the goal that all steel must be sold at or beneath that ceiling.
