The answer is B.

"A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously, a scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research, in a process beginning with an educated guess or thought."

"A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true."

Income Statement

Sales (280000 x $12) $3360000

Less: Cost of goods sold

Add: Direct Material $180000

Add: Direct Labor $505000

Add: Manufacturing Overhead $110000

Percentage of sales for each line item

Sales = 100%

Cost of goods sold: $\frac{795000}{3360000}$ x 100= 23.7%

Selling expense : $\frac{437000}{3360000}$ x 100 = 13%

Administrative expense: $\frac{854000}{3360000}$ x 100 = 25.4 %

2. According to the income statement in requirement 1, the manager can control cost by outsourcing the product if it is cheaper to get it from a third party in order to cut/control cost of goods sold.

Manager can also try controlling the administrative expenses as they are taking a bigger proportion than any other cost/ expense.
