Answer:

C. biased, understating the effectiveness of the diet.

Explanation:

As the company promises the population of America which is too huge, just on the study based on 20 employees of the company itself.

This clearly means that the company is trying to sell the product with false reports as the sample size of study is to small to represent entire American Population.

Further that too the employees could be influenced to get the false results.

As since the employees could be influenced and that the results can be altered accordingly, the report is biased, and is misleading.

UNO [17]

Answer:

Units transferred out = 760

Explanation:

If we assume that all units are completed in the order of arrival i.e (FIFO), then the units transferred out is the sum of the opening inventory and the units started and completed in the period. The units started and completed in the period is referred to fully-worked.

Fully worked is computed as the units started in the period less the closing inventory .

Fully- worked = 800 - 240 = 560

The units transferred out = opening inventory + Fully-worked

                                          = 200 + 560 = 760

Units transferred out = 760

Note we assumed that the units of the inventory( started last period i.e January) would be worked on first in the month of February  before any other units. So, it is assumed completed by the end of February
