Scrumptious Snacks Inc. manufactures three types of snack foods: tortilla chips, potato chips, and pretzels. The company has bud

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the number of processing hours:

Processing hours= (0.25*3,000) + (0.1*6,000) + (0.3*3,500)

Processing hours= 750 + 600 + 1,050

Processing hours= 2,400

Now, we can calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 207,000 / 2,400

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate=$86.25 per processing hour

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Tortilla chips= 86.25*75= 64,687.5

Potato chips= 600*86.25= 51,750

Pretzels= 86.25*1,050= 90,562.5

Finally, the unitary cost:

Tortilla chips= 64,687.5 / 3,000= $21.56

Potato chips= 51,750 / 6,000= $8.63

Pretzels= 90,562.5 / 3,500= $25.88

Suppose demand is given by q = 80 - 0.5p. what is the price elasticity of demand when p = 40?

Rasek [7]

I believe the answer to this question is: the price elasticity of demand is 60. q = 80 - 0.5(40) is the equation I used. Half of 40 is 20, and 80 minus 20 is 60.

The internet has changed how people shop for clothes, electronics, and other goods. Because of online shopping, many retailers h

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: B) The supply of goods like clothes will decrease.

Explanation:

All else being equal, the local retail market for clothes will see a reduction in supply for clothes. This is simply as a result of less shops offering clothes than before because some have closed down as they couldn't keep up with online retail stores.

For example, the entire supply of Jeans for the town of Jeanophia were from 5 stores with each selling 5 jeans. 3 stores have closed down due to competition from jeanyjeans.com and now only 2 stores are open which has reduced the supply from 25 jeans to 10 jeans.

Clarence used to work as a doctor in a federal government hospital. After retiring, he started a private clinic to continue prac

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

self-actualization

Explanation:

The answer is deeply related to "Maslows Hierarchy of Needs."

Abraham Harold Maslow is a popular American psychologist who introduced a motivational theory consisting of five stages in relation to the deficiency needs and growth needs of humans.

Everything starts with the deficiency needs. It is very important to satisfy this need in order to engage into the growth needs. For example, a boy is very thirsty. If that need will not be met, the boy will continuously crave for water. On the contrary, if this is met immediately, the boy will aim to grow as a person. This is what you call the growth needs.

This needs are presented in a pyramid.

From top to bottom:

1. Self-actualization

2. Self-esteem Needs

3. Love or Belongingness Needs

4. Safety Needs

5. Physiological Needs

It is ideal for a person to progress from Physiological Needs to Self-actualization, but it doesn't mean every stage is always met. Sometimes, fluctuations occur depending on the situation.

Regarding Clarence's case above. It was stated that he already worked as a doctor in a federal government. This means that he has already satisfied his self-esteem needs and the other needs below. Becoming a doctor is a prestige and a feeling of accomplishment. This can be found on the Self-Esteem Needs stage. In addition to this, Clarence already reached his full potential and is seeking for personal growth and independence. This is backed by the statement above that he opened a private clinic to continue his practice. This means he is already on the self-actualization stage of the hierarchy.
