Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

1. Job A is considered for recommendation

2. Accept B

Explanation:

1. We calculate contribution for A and B

For job A

$(800000-250000-260000-40000-26000)

= $224000

For job B

$(750000-220000-310000-30000-29000)

= $161000

We compare the costs of both jobs. A has more contribution compared to B so we consider A.

2. A is no longer available

We add supervisors salary as well as insurance as additional costs

$(750000-220000-310000-30000-29000-70000-18200)

= 72800

The contribution from b is positive so the decision is to accept it.
