Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Amount paid for candy = $1,500

Items received = 8,500 pieces of candy

Group 1 =  2,500 pieces

Selling price = $0.15 each

sale value = pieces sold × Selling price

                 = 2,500 ×  $0.15 each

                 = $375

Group 2 = 5,500 pieces

Selling price = $0.36 each

sale value = pieces sold × Selling price

                 = 5,500 ×  $0.36 each

                 = $1,980

Group 3 = 500 pieces

Selling price = $0.72 each

sale value = pieces sold × Selling price

                 = 500 ×  $0.72 each

                 = $360

Total sale value = $375 + $1,980 + $360

                           = $2,715

Percentage\ of\ sale\ in\ Group\ 2=\frac{Sale\ value}{Total\ sale\ value}\times 100

Percentage\ of\ sale\ in\ Group\ 2=\frac{1,980}{2,715}\times 100

= 72.92%

Proportion of cost for Group 2 = cost × Percentage of sale in Group 2

                                                   = $1,500 × 72.92%

                                                   = $1,093.8

cost\ per\ unit= \frac{cost}{total\ units}

cost\ per\ unit= \frac{1,093.8}{5,500}

= $0.1988

= $0.20(approx)

If the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange shifts left, then the a. rises and the quantity of dollars
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

b. rises and the quantity of dollars exchanged falls.

Explanation:

As provided that the curve shifts leftward that means the supply has decreased and that the price has fallen.

Accordingly people will tend to buy more dollars, but since the supply is less the exchange of dollars practically will fall because the supply has decreased and the supplier will not be ready to sell the same in low rates.

Accordingly the exchange rate of dollars will rise because of low supply.

Also the quantity will fall of actual exchange of dollars because the suppliers would not supply at low price in high demand.

Thus, option b is correct.

iragen [17]

Answer:

create a relevant agenda for every meeting and stay on point by re-directing non-work related topics back to agenda items.

Explanation:

Fin is the manager, he might be new at the job but it is his responsibility to direct and control his subordinates. Managing isn't easy and maybe some of his staff will not like him directing and controlling what is said during the meetings, but it is his job. If he is not fit to do it, then he should have chosen another job or another career.

Every career and job has its own level of difficulty and things getting tough or difficult is no excuse. Just like a firefighter rushes into a burning house because it is his/her job, controlling the meeting is Fin's job.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Demand for the patent-holder's product will decrease when the patent runs out.

Explanation:

While there is a patent over a product, only the patent-holder's can sell that product. If there is a monopoly it means that that company is the only one that produce and sell this product.

When the patent run out new competitors will enter the business, so the demand on patents holders will decrease.
