Answer:

No, because the statement is not offered for its truth.

Explanation:

Hearsay is defined as a statement that is aimed at proving the truth of a matter.

So if a person makes a statement not aimed at proving the truth of a matter it is not hearsay.

In the given scenario the company offers to have its foreman testify that he had told the plaintiff not to use the fireplace for 24 hours to allow certain chemicals to evaporate.

This statement is offered as a way to test the knowledge of the plaintiff. To see if he was aware of the danger of in the space of 24 hours.

That statement was not issued as a way of showing that it was dangerous for the plaintiff to light a fire, only to test his knowledge. So it is not hearsay.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Actual Operating costs         $231,250  

Planned Operating Costs  budgeted = $ 235058

Planned Operating Costs at actual level   = $ 232430

Explanation:

The Planned costs are the costs estimated at the planned level of activity.

The actual costs are costs that actually occur.

But flexible costs are those which are planned ( determined) at actual level of activity.

Canniff Air

                                       Actual                 Planned

Operating costs         $231,250              

The cost formula for plane operating costs is $56,960 per month plus $2,634 per flight plus $6 per passenger.

Planned Operating Costs= $56,960+ 2634 *67 flights + 6*270 passengers

                                        = $ 56960 + 176478+ 1620

                                         = $ 235058

Actual Operating Costs = $56,960+ 2634 *66 flights + 6*271 passengers

                                         = $ 56960 + 173844+ 1626

                                         = $ 232430

We put the values in the given formula to obtains these costs both planned and actual.
