Why is it generally safer to travel in the right lane on the freeway?

It is generally safer to travel in the right lane on the freeway, because faster, more aggressive drivers use the left and center lanes more often. Drivers traveling at slower speeds should use the right lane, as the speed of traffic increases as you move to the left.

First​ Class, Inc., expects to sell 22,000 pool cues for $12.00 each. Direct materials costs are $4.00​, direct manufacturing la
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

budgeted costs for direct​ materials

  • $88,000

budgeted direct manufacturing​ labor

  • $132,000

budgeted manufacturing​ overhead

  • $18,480

Explanation:

Direct materials costs are $4.00 per pool cue.

Direct manufacturing labor is $6.00​ per pool cue.

Manufacturing overhead is $0.84 per pool cue.

total budgeted direct materials = 22,000 x $4 = $88,000

total budgeted direct labor = 22,000 x $6 = $132,000

total budgeted manufacturing overhead = 22,000 x $0.84 = $18,480

The information about the beginning and ending inventories is not relevant to this question since it only deals with budgeted or estimated costs which may or may not differ from actual costs.

A the production possibilities frontier (PPF) is bowed outward as a result of:_________
vodomira [7]

Answer: 2) increasing opportunity costs.

Explanation:

The Production Possibilities frontier is bowed out as it shows that for one more unit of a good to be produced, an additional unit of the other good must be given up.

This represents increasing opportunity costs because opportunity cost is the cost we incur for choosing one alternative over another. By producing more and more of one good, we give up more and more of the other good which means that our opportunity cost rises.

Gnom [1K]

The correct answer would be, Reverse Discrimination.

Recently, businesses have experienced debate over Reverse Discrimination, the practice of discriminating against a dominant or majority group of persons.  

Explanation:

When people or group of people who were discriminated against previously, are being favored, then this practice is known as the Reverse Discrimination.

For example, reverse discrimination can be caused in an organization where previously discriminated Muslims are now being preferred and hired by the company.

Similarly the same practice can be seen in the companies where females are now being hired(even though the males are more qualified for the job) who were previously discriminated against men.

Reverse Discrimination is not a fair practice, because it is still a Discrimination.
