Answer:

A) Arbitrary allocation

Explanation:

Arbitrary allocation of resources is a very commonly used method specially by experienced managers. To be honest, almost all the allocation methods are arbitrary, only that some are less obvious, e.g. percentage of sales is also arbitrary because what percentage is the correct allocation, someone decided because their previous experience favors such a number.

The manager doesn't magically come up with numbers and decides that X should be assigned to this product and Y to that product. He/she bases the decision on previous campaigns as a parameter and then he/she determines an amount.

Of course this type of resource allocation is not the best or more exact way to do it, but it is based on experience and experience also matters. What would be really problematic is that the manager is so stubborn that he/she will not adjust the balance according to the needs. You must remember that all budgets are only estimates, and estimates aren't usually 100% correct (they wouldn't be estimates if they were 100% sure). What is important is to be able to adjust your budget to correct any variances.

Answer:

Arbitrary allocation.

Explanation:

Arbitrary allocation is a method where costs budgeted are not based on any precise measurement,hence accurate costs could not be arrived at.

This approach to budgeting breeds inefficiencies as the accurate budgeting is expected to lead to accurate costing of products as well as pricing.

All in all,the true profitability of a business cannot be ascertained.

Finally,the organization adopting this type of approach needs to change to other accurate methods of budgeting such incremental or rolling budgeting.

All of the following are ways to calculate different versions of ROI​ except: A. Return on sales x investment turnover B. Income
Virty [35]

Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

The formula - Revenues​ / Total Assets is not one of the ways to calculate Return on Investment (ROI)

Return on Investment (ROI) is a ratio

net profit to cost of investment(total money invested the project or compnay)

The numerator must be profit while the denominator must be related to cost of Investment.

In all of the options, it is only option D that has revenue(sales) as the numerator which makes it automatically wrong.

Cheryl purchased 5 identical hollow pine doors and 6 identical solid oak doors for the house she is building. The regular price
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The answer to this question is option C. $560

Explanation:

We can let the price of each hollow pine door = d and of each solid oak door = 2d.

Since each pine door = 40, d = 40, and the regular price of each solid oak door is (2)(4) = 80.

With a 25% discount, each solid oak door is 0.75(80) = 60.

So, the six oak doors cost 6 x 60 = 360 dollars, and the five pine doors cost 5 x 40 = 200 dollars. Thus, the total is 560 dollars.

Hence the answer is C

Three individuals, Mary, Jack and Helen, make up the total demand for donuts per month in a particular market.
Paraphin [41]

The market demand curve would be 1000 - 0.125Q.

<h3>How to calculate the demand curve?</h3>

It should be noted that the market demand curve will be the sum of the individual demand curve.

The market demand curve will be calculated thus. Mary’s demand curve is 5P = 5000 – 1.25QM. Here, p = 1000 - 0.25QM

Jack’s demand curve for donuts is given by P = 1000 – 0.5QJ. Helen’s demand curve is given by QH = 2000 – 2P. This will be P = 1000 - 0.5QH.

The slope will be:

= 0.5 × 0.25

= 0.15

The demand function of Jack and Helen are the same. The demand curve will be 1000 - 0.125Q.
