Answer:
-the firm’s IT architecture
Explanation:
The firm’s IT architecture is the only risk under the business' control in that list. The company can decide for example to buy a computer system that matches its needs and budget or go overboard and by the most expensive equipment there is.
All the other factors (fluctuations in the price of raw materials, currency rate fluctuations and change in import duties) are out of the company's control. Some can be anticipated, with more or less time/precision.
Answer:
The overhead cost allocated to Totes is $11556 and option c is the correct answer
Explanation:
To allocate the overheads between products using a plant wide rate, we need to calculate the plant wide Overhead absorption rate (OAR). The OAR allocates overheads to each product based on the activity level consumed by each product.
OAR = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Absorption base
As the overhead absorption base is the direct labor cost, we first need to determine the total direct labor cost for both the products.
Direct labor cost = 64 * 350 + 51 * 530 = $49430
OAR = 25500 / 49430 = $0.5159 per direct labor cost of $1
Direct labor cost used by Totes = 64 * 350 = $22400
Overheads to be allocated to Totes = 22400 * 0.5159 = $11556.16 rounded off to $11556
I would say that it would simply be a businessman's interest group or an association such as the Association of Mineral Exploration in the province of British Columbia, Canada that is an advocacy group for the businessmen to ensure they get the ear of the provincial government and so they can be a lobby group too.
