Case Summary The head librarian is a salaried position ($48,000per year) one-fourth of her contracted annual base salary ($12,000)is allocated to the book donations department. The InglisUniversity Library is also allotted $5,200 per academic\ year inadditional funds to support the library donations function.Work-study students typically work 20 hours per week and are paidon an hourly basis at a rate of $10 per hour. The library allocatesa portion of the librarys general facilities costs ($1,200 peryear).
the library has approached the university budget committee witha request to increase the funds allotted to the book donationsdepartment by $5,000 per year. at the already-high cost of $18.90per book, the library can hardly afford to accept more than 1,000books per year; if, for instance, the library were to accept 2,000books, it would cost the university $37,800. Finally, we haveserious doubts as to the value of the donations department; if itwere eliminated entirely, the university could save, at the veryleast $23,900 per year.
Question 1 Explain what is meant by an activity measure.Identify an appropriate activity measure for analyzing the coststructure of the book donations department within the universityslibrary. Justify your answer. Is the activity measure youidentified a true cost driver? Explain.
If the graduate assistants stipend is only guaranteed for thecurrent year, the university is only committed to incurring thiscost for the current academic period, beyond which the cost wouldbe classified as flexible since the library could eliminate it forthe next budget period. If the RFID tags are purchased in 100 lotsin advance of the need for them they will still be consideredflexible because of the small lot purchases which lead tosmall-step variable costs.
Second, at the already-high cost of $18.90 per book, the librarycan hardly afford to accept more than 1,000 books per year; if, forinstance, the library were to accept 2,000 books, it would cost theuniversity $37,800.

Description: This session aims to investigate the social, cultural, and religious implications associated with the transformations of sacred space. The complex mix of ethnicities and religious practices attested in Roman and Late Antique Galilee, provide an excellent setting for investigating material expressions of religious worship, as well as changes transpiring in the religious character of the region over time. As a case study for the transformations of sacred space, this session will focus on the religious milieu of ancient Sepphoris, combining studies of the religious diversity witnessed in the material assemblages of the city; changes in urban space from private to public, temple to church; and visual expressions of religious and cultural identity employed in the sacred architecture and its décor. Each of the studies will address the finds from Sepphoris, contextualizing them within their local Galilean and broader regional contexts.We invite to this session papers engaging urbanism, religious architecture, visual representations and material finds for the study of shifts in sacred space. We are particularly interested in studies providing insights into processes of social, cultural, political and religious changes taking place in the eastern Mediterranean during the Roman period and in Late Antiquity. 2ff7e9595c
