Answer:
These two options represent nominal values:
-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.
-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.
They are expressed in monetary value without taking into account inflation, or without being represented in terms of something else.
This option represents real value:
-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.
The price of a beignet, nominally $3.00 is being expressed in relation to the price of something else: paperback novels, whose nominal price is $9.00.
In other words, in real terms, a beignet costs a third of what a paperback novel costs.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
executive salaries, utilities and insurance (C.)
Explanation:
Indirect costs are costs that are not directly attributable objectively to a good, project, facility or service. Indirect costs are either fixed or variable. Fixed indirect costs are costs that do not change as the units/volumes of production change, while variable indirect costs are costs that change with change in production units. Indirect cost can also be classified as either recurring or fixed. Recurring indirect costs are those that are repeated in nature, example is salaries of laborers, while fixed indirect can be cost of transportation. In this example, executive salaries, utilities and insurance are not directly attributable to a specific project at hand; the executives do not partake in the project hands-on, insurance and utilities such as electricity rent are not project-specific and it is financially infeasible to do so.
On the other hand, direct costs are costs that are directly attributable to the object, and it is financially feasible to do so, hence travel cost, labor, consultant and subcontractors costs, and material costs are all directly linked to the project (object).
