Answer 1

the company includes at least 10% of overhead costs and an 8% profit margin in all the sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dumping occurs when companies export their products at a lower price than domestic sales price. American laws prohibit dumping and require foreign firms to include 10% overhead costs + an 8% profit margin in the prices of the goods they export to the US.
