Answer:(a): I will challenge my sponsor.

(c). The sponsor might have little knowledge about the project.

Explanation:

(a). Challenging sponsors: as a project manager, i am to continuosly challenge my sponsor.

(b). Challenging the sponsor can lead to disagreement and face off but this will make the sponsor to understand that he has a role to play, and he should not ' mess up ' the project.

My second alternative is to report this to the executive steering committee for resolution. This will make the resolution to be resolved quickly although it might cause serious harm to the company.

(c). The supervisor might not have enough technical knowledge about the project

OR

He might be occupied with other activity and may not be devoted to sponsorship

OR

Some company may want sponsors who have no knowledge about the project.

RSB [31]

Answer:

5341288

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Volume of the living quarters = 213 cubic feet

Now,

The dimensions of the US dollar bills are

width = 2.61 inches

Length = 6.14 inches

Thickness = 0.0043 inches

Thus,

Volume of a single dollar bill = 2.61 × 6.14 × 0.0043

= 0.06890922 cubic inches

Also,

Volume of quarter in cubic inches = 213 × 12³  

[ ∵ 1 ft = 12 inches  ; 1 ft³ = 12³ cubic inches]

Thus,

Volume of quarter in cubic inches = 368064 cubic inches.

Thus,

Number of dollar bills that can fit in there

= [ Volume of quarter in cubic inches ] ÷ Volume of a single dollar bill

= 368064 ÷ 0.06890922

= 5341288.15 ≈ 5341288

A firm in the market for designer jeans has some degree of monopoly power. The demand curve it faces has a price elasticity of d
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The firm's profit maximization price = $81.25

Explanation:

We are given:

Marginal cost MC = $65

Elasticity of demand ED = -5

Therefore, Using the rule of thumb pricing, we have the equation:

P = \frac{MC}{1+(1/ED)}

P = \frac{65}{1+(1/-5)}

P = \frac{65}{0.8}

P = $81.25

Therefore the firm's profit maximization price is $81.25

Rugrat Company has the following information for the current year: Beginning fixed manufacturing overhead in inventory $190,000
inessss [21]

Answer:

$140,000

Explanation:

The  difference between operating incomes under absorption costing and variable costing based on fixed expenses is shown below:

Variable costing:

Fixed manufacturing overhead in production $750,000

Absorption costing:

The Fixed cost would be

= Beginning fixed manufacturing overhead in inventory + Fixed manufacturing overhead in production - Ending fixed manufacturing overhead in inventory

= $190,000 + $750,000 - $50,000

= $890,000

So, the difference would be

= $890,000 - $750,000

= $140,000

Leather and beef are jointly produced such that an increase in the production of one results in an equal increase in the product
eduard

Answer:

An increase in the demand for leather will most likely cause an increase in the demand for beef in the short run.

Explanation:

We can establish from the question that the two products are jointly produced. The two products are simply - Leather and Beef.

There's thus a direct relationship between the production of one and the other. That is, an increase in the production of leather causes an equal increase in the production of beef.

Having considered that, it is important to underscore the general human behaviors to issues on Demand. A rational individual will buy more of a product if the price is low. The more the demand, the more the increase in production.

For leather and beef, there is a critical factor that necessitate there joint production. This is that the byproducts from the production of one, say, Beef, will form an input in the production of the other. This relationship further lends credence to our foregoing assertion that the both products share direct relationship. Using the byproducts obtained from the production of one as an input will not increase the economies of scale of the other, it'll lead to an equal increase in the production levels.

Thus, an increase in the demand for leather signals an increase in the production of leather. Hence, with increase in production of leather, there's an equal increase in the production of beef with direct consequence on product demand, while taking advantage of the economies of scale derived from, and the competitive pricing.
