Julli [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Direct labour hours work during the period:

Product S=72,400 units×1 hour=72,400 hours

Product W=18,100 units × 3 hours=54,300 hours

Assume you are running a paid campaign and your original budget was $50,000 for the month. It's a 31-day month and you have spen

mash [69]

Answer: $2750

Explanation:

The original budget was $50,000 for the month, $20,000 has been spent already after which there was a revision of the monthly budget to $75,000.

Since $20000 has been spent, the remaining budget will be:

= $75000 - $20000

= $55000

Also, the money was spent for 11 days, therefore the number of days remaining will be:

= 31 - 11

= 20 days.

Therefore, the new daily budget for the month will be:

= $55,000 / 20 days

= $2,750
