Answer:
1. Which of the excluded items represent ongoing costs of running the business and which are one-time "special" costs?
it depends on the company and the actual transactions, e.g. equity based compensation might be a one time special cost because it occurred only once and is doubtful that it happens again. But if the company regularly rewards its top managers with this type of compensation, then it is an ongoing cost. E.g. Tesla awarded a HHHHUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEE bonus to Elon Musk (worth hundreds of millions) but it was a one time event. While many companies use equity compensation on a regular basis.
Severance and related employee "rebalancing" costs generally take place when a company fires a lot of people because it is cutting down some division or product line. Hopefully, they should never happen, and if they do, it should be only a one time event.
Fees paid to consultants and interest expenses are ongoing costs that will probably occur in the future.
Losses related to the abandonment of excess facility space and a facility fire should be one time events. It would be really bad for them to keep happening (same as severance and rebalancing costs)

Answer:
Assigned cost= $16,080
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Wicker baskets are produced in batches of 100 units.
Wooden slat baskets are produced in batches of 50.
Setup is required for each batch. During the most recent accounting period, the company made 8,000 wicker baskets and 2,000 wooden slat baskets. Setup costs amounted to $24,000 for the baskets produced during the period.
First, we need to determine the number of batches.
Wicker= 8000/100= 80 batches
Wooden= 2000/50= 40 batches
Proportion of batches= 80/120= 0.67
Assigned cost= 24000*0.67= $16,080
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 12,562 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= 32*1.0015= 32.048
Unitary variable cost= 24*1.0015= 24.036
Fixed costs= 100,200*1.0016= 100,360.32
<u>To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>
<u></u>
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 100,360.32/(32.048 - 24.036)
Break-even point in units= 12,562 units
