Answer:

(a)<u> Backward vertical integration</u> (b) <u>Forward vertical integration</u> (c) <u>Backward vertical integration</u>

Explanation:

(b) Here, there is no intermediary between patients and general surgery group. The general surgery group treat patients directly. So here there is a forward vertical integration system.

(c) A manufacturer of durable medical equipment will supply to retailers who in turn supply these to hospitals where the patients will receive service from these equipment. So, it is an example of backward vertical integration.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

$112,000

Explanation:

The computation of using activity based costing for overhead costs to activity cost pools is below:-

Factory utilities for processing

= $99,000 × 0.30

= $29,700

Factory utilities for Setting up

= $99,000 × 0.50

= $49,500

Factory utilities for others

= $99,000 × 0.20

= $19,800

Total = $99,000

Indirect Labor for processing

= $13,000 × 0.20

= $2,600

Indirect labor for setting up

= $13,000 × 0.30

= $3,900

Indirect labor for others

= $13,000 × 0.50

= $6,500

Total = $13,000

Overhead costs = $99,000 + $13,000

= $112,000
