Answer:
Winners
- The US Federal Government
- Joy
Losers
- Karen
- Herb
- 3rd National Bank
Explanation:
The US Federal Government is a Winner because Inflation in general has the effect of eroding the value of money. Generally interest rates account for this but when it is Unexpected Inflation they don't. The US government is a winner because the amount of debt they now have in real terms have decreased.
Joy is also a winner for the same reason as the US government.
Karen lost out as a result of this because her Fixed Pension does not change with inflation which means that when inflation rates go up unexpectedly she will be able to buy less goods and services.
Herb's money will lose real value as a result of inflation because like Karen, Herb will be able to buy less goods and services when inflation rises.
3rd National Bank will also lose out because they made loans that would not have accounted for Unexpected inflation. The real value that they will be owed will therefore be less and they will suffer 'real' losses.
<span>Diminishing marginal returns - By investing in hiring an additional worker, Michelle does not receive twice the productivity compared to when she had only 1 worker. Productivity only increased by roughly 50%. I would consider the worker to be more of an investment, and thus count as diminishing marginal returns, rather than decreasing returns to scale, which I consider to apply more to assets, such as machines for manufacturing or in the case of the scenario, an additional kiln.</span>
Answer:
$1,600 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Given that,
Budgeted fixed overhead = $1.00 per hour
Expected capacity = 5,000 units
Standard quantity = 2 hours per unit
Actual units produced = 5,200
Total overhead costs = $12,000
Controllable variance:
= Actual Overhead cost - Budgeted cost of actual production
= $12,000 - (Actual units produced × Budgeted fixed overhead × Standard quantity)
= $12,000 - (5,200 × $1 × 2)
= $12,000 - $10,400
= $1,600 Unfavorable

Answer:
The administrator should consider the App's ability to enable the user to scan and attach receipts with the expense reports.
Explanation:
The App for Salesforce Mobile should be enabled to scan and attach receipts with the expense reports in order to meet the user's requirements. The easiness of the Mobile App achieving this functionality is very important. Once users were not always able to easily implement this functionality in the App, then it would not be considered user-friendly. The scanning should be as simple as taking a shot with the phone's camera.
