the company's high-volume products are undercosted.

all of the company's products are overcosted.

Answer:

The company's high-volume products are overcosted.

Explanation:

Vanguilder is currently using a <em>traditional costing </em>which is easy because it often just divides some types of costs equally between different items.

To understand this we take the assumption given in the question that Vanguilder combines all manufacturing overhead into a single cost pool and allocates this overhead to products by using machine hours.

So, lets say that Vanguilder is producing 2 products then how will you divide the machine hours between these 2 products?

It's Easy;

The total cost of machine hours divided by units produced and we get the $ amount for each product. But what if product 1 uses more machine hours then product 2?

Is it still fair to write down same amount of machine hours for each product.

We should write bigger machine hour cost for the product 1, right?

This is where Activity Based Costing is different from Traditional Costing.

However, <em>Activity Based Costing</em> finds ways to divide or allocate these costs more proportionally or fairly.

We can write a higher cost for product which use more machine hours.

Hence the following option would be correct:

<em>The company's high-volume products are overcosted. </em>

As, low-volume products require less production allocated using overhead (such as machine hours) than high-volume products. Therefore low-volume product are  undercosted, while high-volume product are overcosted.

The process of generating and choosing from a set of alternatives to solve a problem is called:________a. Intuition. b. Satisfic
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

c. Decision Making

Explanation:

In psychology, decision-making is considered a cognitive process that results in the selection of an idea or movement among other alternative or possible options. Each decision-making process, whether or not it results in a move, necessarily provides a final choice. To be defined, decision-making is when the decision-maker determines and selects alternatives based on their preferences and values. Decision making can be seen as a problem solving process that results in a satisfactory solution. Since this process is based on personal and / or publicly known information, the result may be rational or irrational. The performance of people, based on their decisions, has been the subject of research in several ways:

1) Psychological: evaluating people's decisions based on individual needs, preferences and values

2) Mental: decision-making is seen as a continuous process where communication with environmental factors is integrated.

3) Must be (normative): analysis of individual decisions, taking into account decision-making or communicative reasoning, and the constant, unchanging choices caused by these

Intuition - the term used in different meanings in philosophy, mysticism, esotericism and different doctrine systems.

Types of use:

1) In some philosophical trends, the search for the facts that cannot be grasped by reason is considered within the scope of intuition.

2) In spiritism, it is accepted that intuition is manifested by influences stemming from various factors rather than a person's own thought, which is usually a disembodied soul. For this reason, the spiritualists call the intuitive contact to the spiritual contacts in which the notifications containing high information are received.

3) According to gnostics and antiquity initiates, there are three kinds of information in the path of spiritual enlightenment, from which knowledge that can be learned through teaching is called mathesis, knowledge that can be acquired through feeling or suffering, and knowledge that can be learned through intuition is called gnosis. Initiations, the ones who reach the highest stage, that is, those who reach the initiation stage, are informed by transferring the intuition they receive through their surroundings. This initiation of the initiate is represented by the symbolism of the seed becoming a plant in some initiations, and the torch symbol in some initiations.

4) When the intuition called inspiration is reflected in word or writing style, it is called revelation. The word revelation is not only a term used for prophets. The term was known and used before the arrival of Islam in the Arabs.

Satisficing is a concept of decision theory that refers to the strategy that tries to meet the adequacy criteria, rather than finding an optimal solution.  The word satisficing is a neologism (more precisely, a fruit salad) coined by Herbert Simon composed of the English words "satisfy" = satisfaction and "suffice" = sufficiency.  Herbert Simon pointed out that humans lack the cognitive resources to maximize: usually they do not know how likely the various outcomes are, we can rarely evaluate all the results with sufficient precision, and our memory is weak and not very reliable.  A more realistic approach to rationality takes these limitations into account: limited rationality.

Bounded rationality is a concept that is observed in the case of incomplete or asymmetric information and suggests that people behave in a limited rational way instead of behaviors depicted as rational human behaviors in classical economic theory and that these movements do not have full knowledge about the market. Terms such as lemon problem, inverse selection problem, game theory and moral collapse are related to the concepts of limited rationality.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

d. 2.83

Explanation:

Note: The financial statement in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the full question with the sorted financial statement.

The explanation to the answer is now as follows:

The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that is used in measuring whether a company has adequate resources to meet its short-term obligations or pay its liabilities from its current assets.

The current ratio provides a comparison current assets to current liabilities of a company and it can be calculated using the following formula:

Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities ................. (1)

From the 2017 balance sheet of Burnaby Mountain Trading Company, we have:

Total current assets = $1,700,000

Total current liabilities = $600,000

Substituting the values for Total current assets and Total current liabilities into equation (1), we have:

Current ratio = $1,700,000 / $600,000 = 2.83

Therefore, The firm's current ratio for 2017 is <u>2.83</u>. That is, the correct option is option d. <u>2.83</u>.

This indicates that the firm has more than enough current assets to pay off 2.83 or 283% of its current liabilities.
