d. none of the above
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Old inflation rate = 3%
New inflation rate = 1.6%
Old unemployment rate = 4.8%
New unemployment rate = 6.2%
Ratio of old inflation rate to old unemployment rate = 3 : 4.8 = 0.625
Ratio of new inflation rate to new unemployment rate = 1.6% : 6.2% = 0.258
Sacrifice ratio = Difference between the two ratios = 0.367 (0.625 - 0.258)
b) The sacrifice ratio is the difference between the old ratio and the new ratio of inflation rate to unemployment rate.

The rule of de minimis applies to persons making donations to candidates vying for elective positions. $250 de minimis is applicable to a person who will vote for a candidate in an election. If a person will not vote for the candidate, the de minimis is $150.
In this case, the MFP will not be voting for the candidate. She is allowed to donate only $150. Any excess will be refunded. However, since the MFP is making the donation on his personal capacity, the firm as a separate entity will not be penalized for what the MFP does with her money. It is likely that the firm does not even do contracts with the municipality. However, they are not based in the same area.
Answer: 8 hours
Using only three activity time estimations, the expected time for this job can be estimated using a mean or a median. If we use the mean, we add 3 estimates ((6,8 and (16+8)) and divide the sum by 3 (equals 13). If we use the median, expected time is 8 hours. In this case, where have extreme estimates, it is better to use the median, the number halfway in to the set which is 8.
