seropon [69]

Answer:

Cutting = $62,020

Pruning = $16,280

Explanation:

<em>The direct method does not consider the impact of reciprocal servicing arrangement when allocating the overhead  of service centers and only allocates overhead to the production cost centers only.</em>

Allocation of Overhead

Janitorial overhead

Cutting = 6/(6+54)×   $5,000 = $500

Pruning =54/(6+54) ×  $5,000= $4,500

Maintenance overhead

Cutting = 9/(9+1)×   $7,800 = $7020

Pruning =1/(9+1) ×  $7,800= $780

Total cost of production department

Cutting = 54,500 + 500 + 7020= 62,020

Pruning department = 11,000 + 4,500 + 780 = 16,280

Cutting = $62,020

Pruning = $16,280

Inflation can decrease _____, which reduces the amount of goods and services a person can afford
PtichkaEL [24]
Inflation is the situation in which the same amount of money is worth less- meaning that it will have less purchasing power (so one can buy less for 100 dollars now than 10 years ago) - the correct answer is "purchasing power". Lower purchasing power reduces the number of goods that people can afford.
