Webster Corporation is preparing a master budget for the first quarter of the year. The company budgets production of 3,000 units in January, 2,760 units in February and 3,540 units in March. Each unit requires 0.5 hours of direct labor. The direct labor rate is $12 per hour. Compute the budgeted direct labor cost for the first quarter budget.

Budgeted Direct Labor Cost for the first quarter = $ 18000 +16560 + 21240

=  $ 55800

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
