Answer:

The correct answer is false.

Explanation:

A firm incurs both variable cost and fixed cost in the short run. If the firm is able to cover the variable cost in the short run it will continue operating. However, if it is not able to cover its variable cost it will stop operating.  

So, if the demand falls such that total revenue is not able to cover total cost but the variable cost is being covered, the firm will not stop production.  

In the long run, all the costs are variable. So when the revenue is not able to cover cost, the firms will stop operating.

What is the best reason for why someone would want to
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Leasing a house is the other name for renting a house which is preferably far more better for a person or a family who is planning to live there for a short period of time. A lessor is a person who gives his property on rent to the lessee.  It is a way through which the person taking the house on rent is relieved from incurring cost on the repairs if required as the responsibility solely belongs to the owner of the house that is the lessor. People prefering leasing over buying a property is always ready to bear the increase in the costs of rent which is far more lesser than spending money or saving money for the down payment for buying a house. Moreover the person leasing the house only gets the ownership of the house under a contractual basis where they dont have the right to sell the property taken on lease.

Gary, a new salesperson for a reputed cellphone manufacturer, meets the owner of a transport company that employs 50,000 people
qaws [65]

Answer:

Option B. It is unrealistic

Explanation:

The reason is that the people have different likes which means we will never see 100 percent acceptance from the customers which might in the way of rejecting the offer of Gary. So the assumption that 50,000 cab drivers will purchase its product is truly optimistic which in other words is unrealistic assumption. So the option B is correct.

Option A is incorrect because the assumption is less qualitative as it doesn't relies on realistic assumption.

The cab drivers sales are relevant here but the sales assumption was unrealistic (Highly optimistic assumption) so the option C and D are incorrect.

Option E is also incorrect because the sales to cab drivers can be measure by initially directly selling 1000 cell phone to 1000 cab drivers which will give an actual idea of sales units expected, which means it is measurable.

Production estimates for July are as follows:
LenKa [72]

Answer:

d. 234,000 lbs. of A; e. 39,000 lbs. of B

Explanation:

For computing the number of pounds first we have to find out the production units which is shown below:

Production units = Sales units + ending inventory units - beginning inventory units

= 76,000 units + 10,500 units - 8,500 units

= 78,000 units

Now number of material pounds required is

Direct material            A          B  

One unit requires           3 lbs 1 ÷ 2 lbs

Multiply 78000 unit requires   234,000 39,000

We simply multiplied the production units with the required unit of each material i.e A and B so that the accurate number of pounds could arrive
