Answer:

Option A and B

Explanation:

The company desires to estimate the cost of the job so that it can minimize it by emphasizing control. This is one of the major reasons why the companies estimate cost of the job, product or service. So option A is correct.

Option B is also correct because the companies have to form contracts with its customers and for that reason predetermined overhead rates helps a lot estimating the price of the product which the company and customer can agree upon.

Option C is incorrect because predetermined costs are estimates and estimates are not always accurate.

Option D is false because daily recording of overheads requires predetermined overhead rates which is adjusted at the month end or quarter end or year end. So its not useless at all.

Calculation to determine what The manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) was closest to:

First step is to calculate the Throughput time using this formula

Throughput time = Process time + inspection time + move time + queue time

Let plug in the formula

Throughput time=6.1+1.5+4.1+6.2

Throughput time=17.9

Now let calculate the MEC using this formula

MEC = process time / throughput time

Let plug in the formula

MEC=6.1/17.9

MEC =0.34

Therefore The manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) was closest to:0.34

musickatia [10]

Answer:

d. Cost cutting in one area of the value chain might increase costs in another.

Explanation:

Although cost leadership is an efficient way to dominate the competition,it does have potential pitfalls if not executed correctly. For example, if operating cost is decreased, the changed product feature may imply a higher marketing cost afterward. In order to be truly efficient, the cost leadership strategy has to be implemented in such a way, so it doesn't impact other value chain costs negatively (increasing them).
