    Fund apportionment has a direct effect at base level by making managers program their funds

    • Monthly

    • Quarterly

    • Biannually

    • Annually

    Correct Answer
    A. Quarterly
    Explanation
    Fund apportionment refers to the allocation of funds to different programs or projects. When managers are required to program their funds, it means they need to plan and allocate the funds for specific activities or initiatives.

Quarterly programming allows for more frequent adjustments and reallocation of funds based on changing needs and priorities. This ensures that the funds are being utilized effectively and efficiently. Therefore, the correct answer is quarterly.

    The law of supply states that the quantity supplied is

    • Added to price

    • Subtracted from price

    • Directly proportional to price

    • Inversely proportional to price

    Correct Answer
    A. Directly proportional to price
    Explanation
    The law of supply states that the quantity supplied is directly proportional to price. This means that as the price of a good or service increases, producers are willing to supply more of it, and as the price decreases, they are willing to supply less. This relationship is based on the assumption that all other factors remain constant, such as production costs and technology. When the price is high, producers have an incentive to increase their supply in order to maximize profits, and when the price is low, they have less motivation to produce as it may not be as profitable.
