Answer:

The correct answer is:

$20,000 (b.)

Explanation:

In order order to calculate the poverty line for Dismal, we will first of all calculate the total number of families in Dismal as follows:

from lowest to high income = 1,000 + 2,000 + 2,000 + 800 + 200 = 6,000

Next, we are told that the poverty rate = 50% = 0.05

Since the Total families = 6000

Therefore, number of poor families = 50% of 6,000 = 0.05 × 6000 = 3,000

Therefore 3,000 families are poor in Dismal

To determine the poverty line, we will count from the lowest earning families upwards until the 3,000th family. The highest income of the 3,000 families counted forms the poverty line. This is done as follows:

1,000 families = $10,000

2,000 families = $10,000 to $20,000

These two groups make up the first 3000 families, and the highest income in the group is $20,000.

Hence the poverty line of Dismal = $20,000

Which of the following is not a measure of the reliability of the supply chain?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Option B, Supply chain response time

Explanation:

The reliability of the supply chain represents the amount of good performance of the distribution chain. The highest priorities for supply chain practitioners are rising trust, decreased inventory and market readiness.

The overall response time for the supply chain is the capacity of the supply chain to react to market demand rapidly. When a market demand transition is observed, the supply chain has to stabilise.  

The response time of the supply chains is sometimes characterised by minimal changes in market demand.

Examples of operations in the supply chain involve processing, manufacturing, architecture, development, shipping and transportation.

The actual variable cost of goods sold for a product was $140 per unit, while the planned variable cost of goods sold was $136 p
kozerog [31]

Answer:

$326,400 is the variable cost quantity factor while $56,000 is the unit cost factor

Explanation:

The variable cost quantity factor is a measure of the difference between the planned and actual units  multiplied by planned variable cost.  

That is Variable Cost quantity factor = (planned units  - actual units sold) x        planned variable cost

                                                            = (14000-2400) - 14000) x $136

                                                            = (11600 - 14000) x $136

                                                            =  -$326,400

Unit Cost factor = $(140 - 136) x 14000 units

                          =$56,000
