Answer:

D. $96,000

Explanation:

We will allocate the cost on maintenance by first stablishing a rate per maintenence hour:

As this is direct method we aren''t doing an allocation to other service department we directly allocate against production department A and B

total hours:  480 + 320 = 800

160,000 total cost /800 hours = 200 per hour

Department B hours: 480

allocate to department B: 480 x 200 = 96,000

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

c. they have been insured against misappropriation of assets.

Explanation:

A company bonds its employees to protect itself against theft by its workers.  Being bonded means securing the money available to customers if a claim is made against the company. Bonding offers compensation to a business should a loss arise through employee's actions.

The law requires companies that handle cash and cash equivalents such as stocks certificates to bond their employees. A company may choose from the various types of bond insurance in the market. For example, employers may use the fidelity bond to protect against employee theft.

Alja [10]

Explanation:
