Answer: b. The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers.

Explanation:

Real reciept = (Dollar amount) ×( Ending-period CPI) ÷ (Beginning-period CPI)

Here, Receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $1,515.8 million

Receipt for Star wars in 1977 = $798.0 million

CPI in 2012 = 229.6

CPI in 1977 = 606

Now, Real receipt of Star wars in 2012 = $((798.0) × (229.6) ÷ 60.6)

=$ 3023.45 ≈ Twice  of receipt for Avengers in 2012.

<em>[Twice of receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $3031.6]</em>

<em />

Hence, the correct statement is b."The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers."

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

b. $127,200

Explanation:

Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

As such, the total fixed cost of the corporation not traceable to the individual divisions

= $168,500 + $48,800 - $90,100

= $127,200

I would see the process ends with the receipt of the goods. I used to work for a large open pit mine and go to the purchasers for buying materials for drilling etc and there would be first the requisition, then the purchaser would contact the seller or client and order the goods, then they would be purchased with the right account and finally received.
