Answer:
D) Project importance is enhanced by setting authority equal to that of functional departments.
Explanation:
A matrix organization is characterized by, multiple command system and overlapping of command, control and behavioral pattern.
Here, temporary project groups are created so as to handle short term projects. Personnel are drawn from functional department and their activities are controlled and coordinated by a project manager.
Once a project is completed, the structure is disbanded and the personnel return to their original departments i.e functional department.
During the project duration, a person is responsible and reports to two bosses, one being the project manager and secondly to the functional boss. Thus, under such a structure exists dual reporting.
Under matrix structure for project management, the project manager is not allowed to use resources exclusively for the project i.e like in project management. Rather, such a manager is required to share resources with the organization.

This is the concept of business mathematics. The question requires us to calculate the profit margin given the that the cost of production is $20, variable cost is $12 and marginal cost is $18. Also we are told that the price per product is $15.
Profit=Revenue-Cost
Revenue=100*15=$1500
Total cost=20+12+18=$50
Therefore the profit margin will be:
1500-50
=$1450
Answer is A
Explanation: Consumer surplus actually happens when a customer is willing and ready to pay for a particular product than its current market price. It is a measure of the additional benefits a consumer gets after paying for a product even though they are willing to pay more.
For example: Let's assume you want to get a IPhone 8 plus and you value it at $800 dollars, which you are ready to pay, but realise it is sold at $700. When you buy it at $700, the customer surplus is $100, that is a difference between how much you were willing to pay and the price you eventually got it.
Consumer Surplus changes as the equilibrium price of a good rises or falls. If the price of a good rises, the consumer surplus decreases but when the price of the good falls, the consumer surplus increases.
