If the revenue for the week is 2000 and labor cost consists of 2 workers earning 8 dollars a hour works 40 hours cost as a percentage of revenue?

To calculate the labor cost as a percentage of revenue, first determine the total labor cost. Two workers earning $8 per hour for 40 hours each results in a total labor cost of $640 (2 workers x $8 x 40 hours). To find the percentage, divide the labor cost by the revenue: ($640 / $2000) x 100, which equals 32%. Thus, the labor cost is 32% of the revenue.

How long will it take to write a business plan?

Time it takes to write a business planThe time it takes to research and write a business plan is contingent upon a number of factors including the concept, the intended audience, status of business (start-up or existing) and number of people on the planning team. If you're flying solo and it's an entirely new concept, it will take considerably longer than if it was an existing business with three or four team people tackling the plan. On average, a start-up plan will take anywhere from 160 to 640 hours to research and write. Established businesses should allow between 40 and 160 hours.


How did bill gates be such an successful entrepreneur?

IBM wanted to get into the small PC business and needed some one to write DOS disk operating system. He did in one month which is remarkable for that time. As a special note he objected the IBM idea of 640 MEMORY rams limitation but IBM reply was that would be enough for usage. HOW WRONG COULD THEY BE By having a keen eye for marketing, convincing a lot of people that - in order to be able to keep a 'competitive advantage' - they constantly need to pay for new and better versions?


Why are farms cut into 40 acre pieces?

Because when land in the US was originally being surveyed, they decided to break it up into one-square-mile blocks, or sections, of 640 acres. Those were broken up into quarter sections of 160 acres each, and those were divided down into 40 acre "quarter-of-a-quarter" pieces. This is why land descriptions are frequently seen described as "... the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of section 12...", for example. Because the earth is spherical, not all of the blocks are exactly 40 acres. Due to the necessity for what is called "correction lines", some of the blocks have to be slightly less than 40 acres.
