Answer: Option C
Explanation: The best descriptor for the term maximum sustainable yield would be "maximum catch without reducing the population of target species". The maximum level at which the natural resources can be exploited without having any serious threats to the future is called sustainable yield. So as per this case sustainable yield is the extent of hunting a species that fulfills the requirement of today and does not threat the future needs.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
First, we need to get the predetermined rate
Predetermined rate = Cost of manufacturing overhead / Cost driver
= $1,800,000/60,000
= $30
We will now calculate the application.
Actual labor hours × rate
= 61,500 × $30
= $1,845,000
We will now compare actual with overhead cost
= Applied Overhead cost - Actual manufacturing overhead
= $1,845,000 - $1,810,000
= $35,000
The above is an over application of overhead cost because the cost applied exceed the actual cost.
Answer:
The store manager is 95% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between $ 31.84 and $ 38.66.
Explanation:
In statistics, a confidence interval is the probability that the parameter of a population lies between two set of values when a random sample of the population is drawn for a specific percentage of times. This means that the confidence interval is formed about the whole population not the sample from which it is calculated.
The probabilities of a confidence interval can take any number, but 95% and 99% confidence level that are usually used.
It should be noted that, for example, 95% confidence level implies that there is a 95% chance that the true mean of the population lies within the calculated confidence interval.
Therefore, the statement which gives a valid interpretation of the interval in the question is the first one which states that "the store manager is 95% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between $ 31.84 and $ 38.66."

Answer:
INCREASE the consumption of Pepsi and REDUCE the consumption of Hamburger
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that Bill uses his whole budget to purchase the following :
5 cans of Pepsi
3 Hamburgers per week
And the following were the price:
Pepsi costs $1 per can
Hamburger cost $2
Bill marginal utility:
Pepsi 4
Hamburgers 6
Based on the above details this means that Bill could increase his utility by INCREASING Pepsi consumption and REDUCING hamburger consumption reason been that 5 cans of Pepsi costs $1 per can which will gives us income of $5 ($5×1) while 3 Hamburgers per week cost $2 which will give us income of $6 ($3×2) which typically means that the Hamburgers has more income that Pepsi.
Secondly since the marginal utility for Pepsi is 4 while that of Hamburgers is 6 which means that Hamburgers has higher MARGINAL UTILITY than that of Pepsi because the consumption of Hamburgers is higher than the consumption of Pepsi.
Therefore the best thing that Bill could do in order to increase his Pepsi utility is for Bill to increase Pepsi consumption and reduce hamburger consumption.
