The planning budget for October was based on serving 23 customers, but a total of 19 customers were actually served during October. The activity variance for total expenses for October would have been closest to: $6,400 F $6,400 U $7,900 U $7,900 F

$6400 F

Explanation:

Note that, The Fixed expense remains constant irrespective of the no. customers served.

Therefore it is irrelevant and won't be used in the calculation of activity variance.

Again an activity variance occurs to the difference between actual level of used flexible budget and assumed in planning budget.

Therefore, calculating activity variance in the given case, it will be following:

Actual expense - Estimated Expense

= (Employee, salary and wages + Travel expenses) per customer X [Planned no. of customers served - Actual no. of customers served]

=$(1100+500) X [23-19]

=$6400 F.

a is the correct answer, tell me if im right

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
