The research and testing costs associated with the new ovens is said to arise from a product-sustaining activity.
Explanation:
Product-sustaining activities are carried out where appropriate to facilitate the production of each product type. Types of design-sustaining practices include product requirements, technical improvements and special testing procedures.
Such costs may be assigned to each commodity but are not proportional to the number of manufactured units or quantities. Organisation-sustaining operations support the overall production cycle of an organisation.
The ventilation and maintenance of the building, the protection of the facility and the administration are examples of safe facilities.
Products are allocated the costs for the operations at a unit level, batch level and component level depending on the consumption of each commodity. Goods are distributed randomly or viewed as time expense for purpose of facility-sustaining operations.
 
        
             
        
        
        
If France had positive net exports last year, then it (A) sold more abroad than it purchased abroad and had a trade surplus.
<h3>
What is trade surplus?</h3>
- When focused simply on trade effects, a trade surplus indicates that a country's goods are in high demand on the global market, which raises the price of those items and leads to a direct strengthening of the home currency. 
- When exports surpass imports, the trade balance (surplus) is positive. 
- When exports are fewer than imports, the trade balance is negative (deficit).
- When a country exports more goods than it imports, it has a trade surplus. 
- For example, if China exported $1 trillion in products while importing only $200 billion in goods, it would have an $800 billion trade surplus.
Therefore, if France had positive net exports last year, then it (A) sold more abroad than it purchased abroad and had a trade surplus.

Answer:
Total= $19.56
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The basic direct labor rate is $12.00 per hour. Payroll taxes are 13% of the basic direct labor rate, while fringe benefits such as vacation and health care insurance, are $6.00 per hour.
<u>The direct labor standard rate per hour is calculated using the direct labor rate, the taxes and fringe benefits.</u>
Standard direct labor rate:
Direct labor rate= 12
Payroll taxes= (12*0.13)= 1.56
Fringe benefits= 6
Total= $19.56
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: The price that Liliana will pay for shipping the furniture may be higher than the amount she saved.
Explanation:
Liliana wants a new furniture for her apartment which she found on the website of the manufacturer. From the information given in the question, we were informed that she will save $500 when she buys from the manufacturer directly.
From the information provided, the deal is good since she'll save $500 but the only thing that might stop her from making the purchase is when the shipping fee is more than the $500 she'll save. In that case, buying the furniture isn't really worth it as other options may be considered.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
C) Households may save part of the additional income from the tax cut
Explanation:
When we consider the total household income there is always a major part that is spent, this is called propensity to consume. It is defined as the proportion of total income that consumers are willing to spend. 
But propensity to consume doesn't include 100% of household income, there also exists the propensity to save. That is the exact opposite, is the proportion of our income that we will save for future use. 
Luckily for us all, the propensity to spend is usually much higher than the propensity to save. We have to remember that private consumption represents nearly 70% of the nation's GDP. 
What households save goes to investment in GDP. Investment is always needed but it represents future growth of the GDP while consumption represents current growth of the GDP.
