Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

To determine Debbie's value added, we must find the additional market value she gives to the plates. For each plate, this is the difference between the price she charges the gallery and the cost of her raw materials. Her cost per plate is 400/50 or 8. Her value added per plate is 25 - 8 or 17. Her total value added for all 50 plates is 17  50 or 850. The gallery's value added per plate is 40 - 25 = 15. The total value added of the gallery for all 50 plates is 50  15 = 750.
