Answer:
The correct answer is: It allows economists to isolate or focus attention on selected variables.
Explanation:
The word ceteris paribus means other things being constant. The working of an economy is very complex, each variable is affected by a number of variables. It is difficult to understand all the complex relationships at the same time.
The assumption of ceteris paribus or other factors being constant helps the economists in isolating the variables that they want to study while keeping others constant.
It simplifies the study of economic models and helps to easily grasp the working of the economy.
Answer:
B. The khaki pants
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the benefits forfeited as a result of choosing one item or activity over the other. It the value of the next best alternative of choice made.
Opportunity costs arise because people have to make choices every day. Choosing an item over others implies sacrificing the benefits of the others. The value or cost of the sacrificed item represents the opportunity cost.
Khaki pants are the opportunity cost. Kyla is comfortable with either blue jeans or khaki pants. He does not like black jeans. His alternatives are khaki pants or Blue jeans. Choosing blue jeans implies forfeiting khaki pants. The khaki pants are the best alternative that was missed.
A. The items that fall under the DIRECT MATERIAL category include the following:
1. Film cost for the X ray machine.
2. Electricity cost for the X ray department.
3. Maintenance and repair on the X ray machine.
4. X ray department supplies.
The items that fall under the DIRECT LABOUR category include the following:
1. Salaries of the X ray machine technician.
2. Salary of the X ray technicians' supervisor.
The items that fall under the SERVICE OVERHEAD category include the following:
1. Wages for the hospital janitorial personnel.
2. Property taxes on the hospital building.
3. Depreciation on the hospital building.
4. Depreciation on the X ray department equipment [Manufacturing overhead]
B. The costs that are incurred during the production of a good or service are usually divided into three categories, which are direct material, direct labour and overhead costs.
Direct materials refer to those materials used in the production process which can be traced to a particular unit or department. A good example of a direct material is the raw materials used in the production unit for the production of a particular product.
Direct labour refers to the salaries and wages of those employees that are directly involved in the production process or in carrying out a particular operation. An example of a direct labour for the production of chocolates is the salary of those workers in the production unit.
Overhead cost refers to all other costs that are incurred during the process of production.These costs can not be traced to a specific department per say, but it cover the whole business unit. Overhead cost is of two types: administrative and manufacturing overheads. Examples of overhead costs are rent, utilities, insurance, depreciation, etc.

im sorry i just need points sorry ask someone else sorry ;)
Answer:
a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process
b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour
Explanation:
Part 1 is processed at A for 15 minutes and then at B for 10 minutes.
Thus part 1 take 15 + 10 i.e. 25 minutes two complete both processes
Part 2 is processed at C for 20 minutes.
Output from B and C i.e. part 1 and 2 respectively are fed to process D where the time taken to assemble is 15 minutes
Thus looking at the given data,
Part 1 takes longer time i.e. 25 minutes to reach process C compared to part 2 i.e. 20 minutes
So bottleneck occurs at process A and B because it takes maximum time i.e. 25 minutes
a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process
b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour
