Agata [3.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

Both the metric system and the US monetary system are based on the system of tens.

Explanation:

The metric system is based on the meter, which is divided into 100 centimeters, while the US monetary system is based on the dollar that is divided into 100 cents.

Generally speaking all Americans and most US organizations use the Imperial  System (along with Liberia and Myanmar), while the rest of the world uses the metric system. But some American organizations use the metric system also, like the military and many financial institutions, specially those that export or trade with commodities.

What s really intriguing about this, is that the metric system is the official measuring system of the US since 1866, but it hasn't been massively applied yet.

Direct material cost  ($9,000 x 500 units)              4,500,000                              

Direct labour cost (300 hrs x $15 x 500 units )       2,250,000

Overhead applied (100 hrs x $22.50 x 500 units)  1,125,000

The total cost of Job X4A is the aggregate of direct material cost, direct labour cost and overhead applied. Overhead is absorbed on the basis of machine hours. Thus, we will multiply the overhead rate by machine hours and number of units produced.

Sarah's house caught on fire. Through the prompt assistance of her neighbor Odessa, the fire was quickly extinguished. In gratit
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

To enforce this promise we need to analyse whether there has been any agreement or contract between Sarah and Odessa and whether the same can be enforced.

Explanation:

In Sarah's case, her offer to gratuitously pay the neighbor for assisting in the house fire is not an enforceable contract. When the neighbor rushed to help in the fire, the offer to pay $1,000 had not yet been extended. When Sarah did extend the offer to pay $1,000, there was no consideration exchanged between both parties. The consideration, putting out the fire, had already occurred without the offer or acceptance of a contract.

Consider an alternate scenario. Sarah's house was on fire, and she could not wait for the fire department. She ran to her neighbor's house, begged for help, and offered $1,000 in exchange for neighbor's assistance. After hearing Sarah's plea, the neighbor agrees to assist in extinguishing the fire. This constitutes a contract; an offer, consideration, and acceptance.

bonufazy [111]

Explanation:

Present value = Cash flow/(1+r)^n

where n is the number of years

Cash flow 1:

$1,150/1.11^1

=$1,036

Cash flow 2:

$1,030/1.11^2

=$835.97

Cash flow 3:

$1,520/1.11^3

=$1,111.41

Cash flow 4::

$1,880/1.11^4

=$1,238.39

Present Value of all the cash flows is

$1,036 + $835.97 + $1,111.41 + $1,238.39

=$4,221.77
