Answer:
C. straight back chairs will be overcosted
Explanation:
Miller Company makes two types of chairs. One of the chairs is a rocking chair. The other is a straight-back chair. Both chairs are made by hand. Miller Company uses a company-wide overhead rate that is based on direct labor hours to assign overhead costs to the two products. If Miller automates the production of straight-back chairs and continues to use direct labor hours as a company-wide allocation basis:
A. rocking chairs will be undercosted
B. There should be no impact on unit cost
C. straight back chairs will be overcosted
D. rocking chairs will be overcosted.
EXPLANATION
If Miller automates the production of straight-back chairs and continues to use direct labor hours as a company-wide allocation basis then the straight back chairs will be overcosted<u> because the automation process directly implies that it no longer drives labor hours since it is no longer made by hand.</u>
Automated processes should use machine hours rather than labor hours, for the allocation of its overhead.
Answer 2 is the best choice
Answer: Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Each of the buyer and seller are small when we are relating it with the whole market. so, there will be no power in the hands of a single decision maker and if a firm wants to change their prices then it will not have any influence on the market price. In a competitive market, there are large number of buyers and sellers, thus, one buyer or seller doesn't have any impact on the market price.
