Anner Manufacturing is developing an activity-based costing system to improve overhead cost allocation. One of the first steps i
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

When you collect all the costs related to performing a particular activity (e.g. producing a product), you have created an activity cost pool. This helps to get an accurate estimate of the cost of that activity or task and is mostly applied in <em>activity-based costing system</em>. Different activities may require different cost pools.

The activities below are thus classified accordingly:

1. Labelling and Packaging - <em>Batch Cost Pool</em>

2. Plant Security - <em>Facility Level Cost Pool</em>

3. Sales Commission - <em>Product Cost Pool.</em> (This is incurred in selling the product and so must be pre-built into the price of the product.

4. Supplies - <em>Unit Level Cost Pool </em>(Supplies are incidental items that are expected to be consumed in the near future. Examples are paper clips that you use in the daily workings of the business. Supplies are differ from Materials which refer to the raw stock from which finished goods are made. Examples of material are raw materials, components, sub-components, and production supplies. Materials would go under Product Cost Pool.

Technology often offers the potential of improving efficiency and effectiveness of trans-portation companies, but water carriers
mestny [16]

Answer:

Water freight is a very important method of transportation and is the second cheapest (railroad is the cheapest). Huge volumes can be shipped at relatively low prices which is extremely important for raw materials and commodities.

The problem with water freight is that it is relatively slow though. Another problem that water freight faces is that it is cheap for medium and long distances, but uneconomical for short ones.

A great impediment for the technological progress of water freight is that most ports are obsolete and have not been updated in many years. Updating them is very expensive and many of them are public ports which doesn't help either.

Most new carrier ships (which are very high tech) are probably too big to fit into most US ports, so even if a carrier company invests huge amounts of money in them, where will they them? Technological progress must start with the ports, then water carriers should improve.

Another problem is that regulation is very loose in the US, especially regarding maritime ports.

Borrowed 152300 for three years if the qouted rate (apr) is 11.75% and the compounding is daily what is the effective annual rat
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The appropriate response is "12.47%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Borrowed amount,

= 152300

APR,

= 11.75%

i.e.,

= 0.1175

Now,

The effective annual rate will be:

= (\frac{1+APR}{n} )^n

On substituting the given values, we get

= (\frac{1+0.1175}{365} )^{365}

= (\frac{1.1175}{365} )^{365}

= 1.12466-1

= 0.1247 \ or \ 12.47 \ percent
