Answer:
Persists because economic wants exceed available productive resources.
Explanation:
According to Lionel Robbins, Economics is the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.
The problem of scarcity is that our wants are always beyond what we can produce with our resources.
Economics is the solution to this problem of what resources to use, how best to use them, and when to use them.   
Because of this scarcity, all people have to make choices. When making choices, we assess the opportunity cost or the alternative forgone.
The opportunity cost of taking action is what we could have got if we had taken an alternative action.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
C. sequencing and allotting time to all project activities 
Explanation:
This will be part of the Project schedulling phase on which the uhman and materials resources are allocate to complete the activities within the timeframe of the project.
Asinging time to the project activities is part of the project schedulling phase. 
While within Project controlling are the activities that check how the project is going. It looks for deviation on the expected outcome and notifies to managment. It must ensure the quality, quantity and cost of the goals

Answer:
b. greater under absorption costing than variable costing.
Explanation:
The question is to calculate the closing value of inventory and based on the choices, we need to calculate based on both the Absorption Costing and the Variable Costing Methods.
1. Closing Inventory based on Variable Costing Method
Direct Material                                $40
Direct Labour                                  $30
Variable Overhead                           $2
Fixed Overhead                                <u>$0 </u>(this method does not reecognise fixed cost
Totals (Unit cost of Production)     $72
Based on this, the closing inventory is $72 x (8,000+50,000-55,000 units)
=$77 x 3,000= $216,000
2. Closing Inventory based on Absorption Costing Method
Direct Material                                $40
Direct Labour                                  $30
Variable Overhead                           $2
Fixed Overhead                                <u>$5</u>
Totals (Unit cost of Production)     $77
Based on this, the closing inventory is $77 x (8,000+50,000-55,000 units)
=$77 x 3,000= $231,000
Based on these calculations:
The Ending Inventory is higher/Greater under absorption costing than variable costing and the reason is that variable costing does not recognize fixed cost in determining the value of ending inventory.
