Question 2
Landing Service
Landing Service is a lawn furniture company that has been around for many years. It is known for its ability to produce furniture more efficiently than any other company in the nation. In truth, no other companies in any other nation come close. Landing Service has shipped many of its products internationally. In fact, 80 percent of its profits come from international sales. However, the Italian government has imposed a tax on imported furniture items to protect local companies. The Brazilian government, on the other hand, has imposed taxes on Landing Service products due to the government wanting a piece of the pie.
Landing Service initially thought that these taxes were unfair because it was being singled out. However, after Landing Service contacted the organization that had the power to mediate this situation, the furniture company realized that the taxation it was subjected to was legal and that there was nothing it could do about it.
