Please identify 1 doctrine, 1 principle, 1 invitation, and 1 promised blessing from his talk. "The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that we should “pour forth love” to all people. Speaking of our Savior, the Apostle John wrote, “We love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). We can follow the example of Jesus Christ, who is our role model, by choosing to love others—even if they show little or no love toward us. He declared, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9; see also 3 Nephi 12:9). Peacemakers! How it would change the world if followers of Christ would forgo harsh and hurtful words in all their communications."
Sаmuel is а mоuntаin bike enthusiast. Over the past few years, hоwever, he has realized that few clоthes were adapted to the reality of fans of this sport in Quebec. He therefore decided, with a group of friends, to found his own company manufacturing mountain bike clothing, called Foresta, located in the Eastern Townships. Its flagship product is a three-quarter sleeve jersey, having a cut that promotes ergonomics when practicing this sport and made from organic or recycled materials. In order to be sold to the main mountain bike equipment retailers, this jersey must be offered to them at a maximum price of $80. The table below illustrates the profit generated by the sale of a jersey. Mountain Bike Jerseys Selling price $80.00 Cost of goods manufactured Raw materials (RM) $22.00 Direct labor (DL) $30.00 1.5 h × $20.00/h Fixed manufacturing overhead (MOH) $7.50 Total manufacturing costs $59.50 Gross profit margin $20.50 Fixed selling expenses $2.50 Variable selling expenses $4.00 5.00% of selling price Total selling expenses $6.50 Fixed administrative expenses $5.00 Net profit $9.00 Recently, Samuel met with the leaders of the Portuguese company Fernandes, which specializes in contract manufacturing. Fernandes is offering Foresta to manufacture the jerseys for an amount of $50 per unit, for equivalent quality and with the same type of material. Furthermore, this amount includes delivery costs to Foresta's warehouse. In the short term, however, no fixed costs can be avoided by the company, and these will instead be allocated to the other products manufactured by Foresta. Required Task Determine whether, from a quantitative standpoint, Foresta should accept Fernandes' offer for the manufacturing of mountain bike jerseys.
