Answer:

The profit motive

Explanation:

Although the <em>profit motive</em> is essential and common among all businesses that exist, it is by nature anti-competitive, meaning it is not a trait used to create substantial competitive advantage. It is a notion that will certainly not attract customers. However, it is always present (and most customers know that), but the profit motive will never be communicated through mrketing activities etc.

Alja [10]

Answer:

Maintenance total cost: 325,000

Cost Allocated to Packagin from Maintenance 162,500

Explanation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}&Maintenance&Cafeteria&Assembly&Packaging\\Employees&4&&8&8\\Direct \: Cost&270,000&275,000&&\\Allocate C&55,000&-275,000&&\\Subtotal&325,000&&110,000&110,000\\Allocate M&-325,0004&-15,760&-162,500&-162,500\\Total&&&272,500&272,500\\\end{array}\right]$

We will divide the cafeteria cost by the sum of employees of the department and maintenance.

4+8+8 = 20

275,000/20 = 13,750

Then we multiply this by each department employees and add them to their cost.

Maintenance total cost after adding cafeteria is 325,000

Then we do the same, we divide this amount for the emplyees of the processsing department:

8 + 8 = 16

325,000/16 =20,325.5

Then we multiply by 8 employees: 162,500

Maintenance total cost: 325,000

Cost Allocated to Packagin from Maintenance: 162,500
