Answer:  mean monthly income = $5000

====================================================

Explanation

In any normal distribution, the median and mean are the same value.

-------------

The proof is as follows:

If mean > median was the case, then the distribution would be skewed to the right (ie positively skewed). The right tail is pulled longer than the left tail. But this would contradict the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean > median must not be the case.

If mean < median, then the distribution would be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). Visually this pulls the left tail longer than the right tail. Like in the previous paragraph, this contradicts the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean < median must not be the case.

Since mean > median cannot be true, and neither can mean < median, this must indicate mean = median.

-------------

So in short, any symmetrical distribution always has mean = median and they are at the very center of the distribution.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

C. The actual variable overhead costs were lower than the budgeted costs.

Explanation:

Variable Overhead Cost variance =Budgeted cost - Actual Cost

where this value is positive, this is favorable, where this is negative it is unfavorable.

Actual cost = Actual hours X Actual rate per hour

Budgeted Cost = Budgeted hours for actual level of production X Budgeted rate per hour

Even if actual hours are lower than budgeted it will not lead to favorable overhead as actual rate per hour might be less.

Total variable overhead will only be favorable when net actual variable overhead cost is less than budgeted variable overhead costs.

C. The actual variable overhead costs were lower than the budgeted costs.

Lilit [14]

Answer: Option B

   

Explanation: An organisation can earn sustainable competitive advantage in the market only if they have some special assets or rights that they can use to attract the customer and maintain their base for a period of time.

Although, globalization has made the world a single market and every entity is now focusing on maximizing their consumer satisfaction by doing researches and setting benchmarks.

Hence as every second entity operating at a global level is doing the given activities therefore none of them can get competitive advantage.
