Synergy means that two or more than two organisations combine their efforts. They decide to cooperate with each other so that they can produce better results compared to what they produce when they are separate.

Answer:
Compilations.
Explanation:
A compilation is part of the write-up service of accounting firms that involves conversion of data into financial statements without providing assurances or auditing services.
A compilation report usually accompanied the financial statements to show that data is well represented, and also to show that there has been no audit so the accountant is not giving an opinion.
So the CPA will not be violating independent rules by working on compilations.

Answer:
Customer and Product Margin under Activity-based Costing and Traditional Costing
True Statements:
1. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the customer margin under activity based costing will decrease.
2. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the product margin under a traditional costing system will be unaffected.
Explanation:
Customer Margin is the difference between the total revenue generated from a customer minus the acquisition and service costs. In the above instance, the customer margin decreases because of the costs of servicing the customer's frequent orders. Customer service costs are usually higher with more frequent orders, when activity-based costing is employed because frequent orders increase the activity level and the associated costs.
Product Margin is the profit margin generated per product. It is the markup on the cost of the product. It shows the difference in amount between the selling price and the manufacturing cost. Frequent orders cannot change the product margin under the traditional costing technique unlike it does with the activity-based costing technique.
