Answer:

Option B is correct

The maximum price to be paid is = $64000

Explanation:

To determine the the maximum price we would compute using the relevant costs of internal production.

<em>The maximum price to be paid to external supplier should be the total relevant costs associated with internal production.</em>

Total relevant cost of internal production = 34,000 + 15,000 +9000 + 6000

The maximum price to be paid is = $64000

Note that the fixed overhead  of $6000 is associated with the internal production the balance of 4,000 is irrelevant and would be incurred either way.

Answer: A. there has been a major increase in the amount of transfer payments the government makes through programs such as Social Security and unemployment insurance.

Explanation:

Since the 1950s, the US government budget for Transfer Payments to Social Security Programs and Unemployment benefits has increased tremendously.

The main transfer payments are Disability and Pension/ Retirement payments and they have been on the rise since the 50s.

These Transfer Payments are both a show of Humanitarianism as well as a form of Economic Investment as they help stimulate the Economy during times or Economic Distress by pouring money into it.

A typical example would be the $1,200 that Congress voted to provide direct cash payments of which totaled around $250 billion in March this year to help Americans who were hit hard by the lockdowns that have crippled much of the American economy.

In your own words.<br><br> Why is it important to the business to motivate employees?..
Alexeev081 [22]

This is mainly opinionated, and since I'm young I may be wrong.

I say it's good to motivate them because then they will do a better job at their task and will make you seem like a good boss/person, especially if it's a decent pay that will keep them being able to live. With the motivation, they might even remember more things (Such as: If you work at a gas station, you remember to upsell people when a deal is going on, whereas unmotivated people forget or just don't want to do it and be lazy). It's the same effect of giving a kid a piece of candy for being good, doing chores, or getting a harder question right.
