The main thing we can do to manage the problem of scarcity is to not overspend.

Scarcity happen when the number of demand in our society heavily outnumber the amount of resources available. By observing our consumption behavior today, we will notice that a lot of people spend money to buy more goods or services that they actually need.

If we control this overspending behavior, not only people who overspend can save some of their money, there will be a lot of goods/services left for other people.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard labor-hours per unit of output 9.0 hours

Actual total labor cost= $191,880

To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Actual rate= 191,880/8,100= $23.69 per hour

Direct labor rate variance= (15.10 - 23.69)*8,100

Direct labor rate variance= $69,579 unfavorable

Virty [35]

Answer:

should conform to the conventions of the receiver's country

Explanation:

The more an international business adapts its operations to the specific culture of the countries where it operates, the more likely it is that it will succeed, since customers are very sensitive to their own culture, and lacking this understanding can result in ineffective communication, and less sales.

For this reason, interantional business messages should conform to the conventions of the receiver's country: like this, people in the receiver country will not only understand the message clearly, but will also feel identified with it, raising their level of trust in the company.

Compute and interpret the contribution margin ratio using the following data: sales, $5,000; total variable cost, $3,000.Interpr

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

0.4 or 40%

Explanation:

The formula for Contribution Margin Ratio is:

[TS - TVC] / TS

Where TS = Total Sales

TVC = Total Variable Cost

Applying the formula,

[5,000 - 3,000] / 5,000 = 2000/5000 = 0.4

Turning this value to a percentage, 0.4 × 100 = 40%

The interpretation of this is that for every item sold, 40% of the sales price is available to cover fixed costs.

Remember: The addition of fixed cost to variable cost = total cost
