Answer:

Confirmation bias.

Explanation:

Confirmation bias is defined as the tendency for an individual to recall and favour information that confirms one's previous beliefs or hypothesis. It is a form of cognitive bias.

In the given example Joe only accepted information that would confirm his belief that there are fewer cars on the road (that is his commute is now shorter).

He however rejected the information that he now works the night shift, a period when traffic is low.

Answer:

2019 Amortization =$1,540

2019 Book Value=$13,860

2019 Amortization =$2,440

2019 Book Value=$19,520

Explanation:

Computation for 2019 amortization, 12/31/19 book value, 2020 amortization, and 12/31/20 book value if the company amortizes the trade name over 10 years.

Calculation for 2019 Amortization (15,400 ÷ 10)

= 1,540

Calculation for Book Value of December 31, 2019

= 15,400 – 1,540

= 13,860

Calculation for 2020 Amortization will be:

(13,860 + legal fees 8,100) ÷ 9)

= 21,960÷9

= 2,440

Calculation for the Book Value of December 31, 2020

13,860 -2,440

=11,420

= 11,420+8,100

=$19,520

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

B) = $38.44

Explanation:

<em>Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers. Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.</em>

Activity rate is calculated as:

<em>Activity cost for the period / Total cost drivers for the period</em>

<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers:</em></u>

<em>The appropriate cost driver to allocate supporting customer activity is the number of customers as given.  This is so because it is most likely that the number of customers served will be a major factor that influences the supporting customers activity costs. </em>

<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers </em></u>

= Supporting customers overhead/total number of customers

= $34,600/(600+300)

= $38.44
