Answer: 2 Apple Pies.

Explanation:

As you may well know, the OPPORTUNITY COST of doing something is the gain you would have gotten if you did an alternative.

In this scenario therefore we will be simply answering that Monica would have done if she wasn't making 1 loaf of bread.

Monica takes 2 hours to bake a loaf of bread and 1 hour to bake a pie.

So what would happen if Monica had 2 hours free because she didn't make a loaf of bread?

If it takes just an hour to make an apple pie, Monica now has 2 spare hours so she will be able to make 2 Pies.

Therefore Monica's opportunity cost of making a loaf of bread is 2 Pies.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Material Purchase Budget:

Material A: $1,170,000

Material B:  $702,000

Explanation:

Material purchase budget = Material usage budget × standard price

Material usage budget = Production budget ×standard usage

Production budget = sales + closing inventory - opening inventory

  Production budget = 76,000 + 10,500 - 8,500= 78,000

Material purchase budget = Material usage budget × standard price

Material Purchase Budget:

Material A: 3 × 78,000  × $5= $1,170,000

Material B: 0.5 × 78,000 × $18= $702,000

AleksandrR [38]

The cengage learning for the mitigation is the difference between the agreed upon $72000 less what was earned from  the $25000 position that barton managed to obtain

<u>Explanation</u>:

Mitigation of damages:

In the case of barton v. vanhorn a court would consider barton's attempts at findings similar employment a reasonable step in mitigating her damages.

Under the doctrine of damage mitigation, a wrongfully terminated employee must look for other compartable employment, and subtract whatever you make from that job from what you request in damages.

Damages in the case would be the difference between the agreed upon $72000 less what was earned from  the $25000 position that barton managed to obtain.
