QveST [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: expatriate assignment.

Explanation:

To begin with, the term of <em>expatriate</em> refers to the person who is currently living abroad in a certain amount of time and primarily for work reasons. This professional worker takes a position outside her home country and that could be done as part of a work assignment scheduled by the employer of the individual. Moreover, expatriate assigment individuals also earn more money than the regular workers at home and furthermore the company generally helps the expatriate in relocation assistance and housing allowance.

Secondly, the case of Marika is a general example of expatriate assigment due to the fact that her company may have ordered her to leave for a period of time to other countries in order to find news and investigate about certain topics and in order to do that the company will pay her so she can do her job properly and then go back home and share her information with her colleagues.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Fixed costs are those costs that do not vary with the level of production. While, variable cost are those costs that change with the level of production or per unit consumption.

(a) Repairs to a leaking roof- Fixed cost as it has nothing to do with the level of production.

(b) Cotton- Variable cost as it depends on the number of units produced.

(c) Food for the miller's cafeteria- Variable as it depends on production. The more you produce the more workers you need and thus more is the food requirement.

(d) Night security guard-  Fixed cost as it does not change with the number of units produced by the textile mill.

(e) Electricity- Variable cost as it depends on the units of electricity consumed. The more you produce the more electricity will be consumed.

What can a food surplus lead to?
gayaneshka [121]
A food surplus in a society can lead to many different things. But based on the principles of supply and demand a surplus of food should lead to a reduction in the price of food, because the quantity supplied is most likely higher than the quantity demanded. In addition a food surplus could lead a country or companies to sell their food surplus internationally or to "dump" the goods on another country or market by selling the goods for a very cheap price most likely lower than the price of the good in that market prior to the entry of this new producer or country with the food surplus.
