Answer:

$299,280

Explanation:

If the Tolstoys purchased the house they would pay on average $120 per sq ft x 2,900 sq ft = $348,000

If Mr. installs the plumbing and Mrs. Tolstoy decorates the house, they can save 10% (plumbing and installing plumbing fixtures) and 4% (interior decorating) = 14% of the cost

So the Tolstoys can save = $348,000 x 14% = $48,720

the cost of the house = $348,000 - $48,720 = $299,280

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.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Prime cost = $94,000

<em>Conversion cost</em> =  $135,400.

Explanation:

<em>Prime cost is the addition of direct material cost , direct labor cost and direct expenses.</em>

<em>Conversion cost is the cost of converting raw materials into finished product. It s the sum of direct labour cost and production overheads.</em>

For Bento Engineering,

<em>Prime cost = direct labour cost  (since no figure is given for direct material and direct expenses.)</em>

Prime cost = $94,000

Conversion cost = Direct labour cost + overheads

<em>Conversion cost</em> = $94,000 + 126,000

                          =  $135,400.

Prime cost = $94,000

<em>Conversion cost</em> =  $135,400.
