Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Logan Corporation has 30 employees, 10 in "A-line," and 20 in "B-line." Logan incurred $180,000 in fringe benefits costs last year.

First, we need to calculate the allocation rate based on number of employees:

Estimated allocation rate= total estimated fringe costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated allocation rate= 180,000/30= $6,000 per employee.

Now, we can allocate fringe costs to the A-line:

Allocated fringe costs= Estimated Estimated allocation rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated fringe costs= 6,000*10= $60,000
