Answer:

The shrinkage as a percentage of sales is 1.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the percentage of the sales that can be contributed to shrinkage, we first need to find the amount of shrinkage between the book value ($907,340) and the physical inventory ($875,435).  The difference between these two values is $31,905.  With this value of shrinkage, I then divide by the total amount in sales, which is $1,988,345.  This would give me an overall percentage of 1.6%, which represents the shrinkage as a percentage of sales.

A company developed the following linear model to help budget annual expenses over time. In this model, x represents the number
ollegr [7]
The only reasonable answer I could think for this is "A.<span>The company's expense budget for 2009 was $189,785."
I believe this because since x is the years after 2009 then you wouldn't times that by the expense budget for that year or any year eliminating B and C. When finding the total expense budget for this you would have to take in account the budget from 2009 so that would lead it to add 189,758. Since we are talking about after 2009 then D would be eliminated since 2008 is before 2009. 
I hope this helps! Good luck!</span><span>
