Explanation:

Looking from a fair point of view, the White owners of businesses have legitimate reasons to feel that the Act constitutes illegal reverse discrimination.

Remember, reverse discrimination implies an unfair treatment of the majority group (White owners) in an effort to please the minority group. This is evident from the fact that the 10 percent of all federal grants to be released by the Economic Development Administration was only to be used to purchase services or supplies from businesses owned and controlled by U.S. citizens belonging to one of six minority groups excluding the White business owners; making the White owners feel discriminated against.

Thus, unintentionally the Act became a reverse discrimination on White business owners.

Blababa [14]

  • <u><em>c. The price of cheese increases</em></u>

Explanation:

Since the resources (money) are limited, the students have to choose among the three options they like to eat from the <em>food establishments on campus.</em>

  • <em>pepperoni pizza,</em>

Thus, students will swift from eating pepperoni pizza to eating more food from the other establishments on campus, including hamburguers (made from beef).

Therefore, <em>if the price of cheese increases, most likely the quantity of hamburgers sold will increase.</em>

Which of the following is true of assigning costs to cost objects? a.Assigning costs to cost objects can be accomplished in a nu
podryga [215]

Answer:

A and B.

Explanation:

Understand  cost classification used for assigning costs to cost objects can be divided in direct costs and indirect costs.

Direct costs are those who can be easily and conveniently traced to a unit of product or other cost object. Examples are direct material and labor.

Indirect costs are those who cannot be easily and conveniently traced to a unit of product or other cost object. Example manufacturing overhead.

The common costs are the indirect costs incurred in support a number of cost objects. These costs cannot be traced to any individual cost object.

Determining cost tracing and allocation is more art than science, as it's difficult to trace costs with 100 percent accuracy.

Tracing costs becomes even more difficult when a cost goes toward producing multiple goods or services.
