lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

One of the great dangers in allocating common fixed corporate costs is that such allocations can make a product line look less profitable than it really is.

Explanation:

Therefore, care must be exercised so that a product line is not eliminated because the common fixed costs have been allocated to it such that it becomes unprofitable.  This is why it is necessary to identify activity cost pools into which such fixed costs can be accumulated and from which they can be allocated to product lines.  Using ABC costing approach, for instance, offers a means of escape because the system tries to allocate costs based on the level of usage or consumption of such common costs by each product line instead of using arbitrary allocation formulas.

                                                Balance Sheet

                                                    Dec 31, 2021

Assets Amount ($) Liabilities and shareholder equity Amount ($)

Current assets:                   Current liabilities  

cash $3,800                          Accounts payable                $24,800

Accounts receivable $7,800   Salaries payable                 $14,800

Supplies     $17,800

Total current assets $29,400   Total current liabilities        $39,600  

Long-term assets                     Stockholders equity  

Equipment   $108,000            Common stock               $48,000

Accumulated depreciation -39,000  Retained earnings        $10,800

Total assets $98,400     Total liabilities and stockholders equity $98,400

We find the retained earning balance by applying the accounting equation which is shown below:

Assets   = Liabilities + common stock + retained earnings

$98,400 = $39,600 + $48,000  + retained earning

So, the retained earning is $10,800
