-Whenever countries have different opportunity costs in production they can benefit from specialization and trade.
-Benefits of specialization include greater economic efficiency, consumer benefits, and opportunities for growth for competitive sectors.
i feel either c or d but d is probably wrong because they would have asked you that at the interview and c could be right because they need your social security for taxes so C
It's C because 1-.15 is .85 then 1/.85 rounds to 1.18
Answer:
Using Traditional allocation method
Allocation rate per unit
=<u> Budgeted overhead</u>
Budgeted direct labour hours
Brass
Overhead allocation rate
= <u>$47,500</u>
700 hours
= $67.86 per direct labour hour
Gold
= <u>$47,500</u>
1,200 hours
= $39.58 per direct labour hour
Using activity-based costing
Brass
Allocation rate for material cost pool
= <u>$12,500</u>
400
= $31.25 per material moved
Gold
Allocation rate for material cost pool
= <u>$12,500</u>
100
= $125 per material moved
Brass
Allocation rate for machine set-up pool
= <u>$35,000</u>
400
= $87.50
Gold
Allocation rate for machine set-up pool
= <u>$35,000</u>
600
= $58.33
Explanation:
Using traditional allocation method, the overheads for material cost pool and machine set-up pool will be added. The overhead allocation rate per unit is the division of total overhead by the direct labour hours for each product.
Using activity-based costing, the material cost pool overhead will be divided by the material moved for each product in order to obtain allocation rate for each product.
The allocation rate for machine set-up pool is obtained by dividing the machine set-up overhead by the number of machine set-up for each product.
