Answer:

Activity Based Costing is more accurate than traditional costing methods such as Marginal and Absorption costing, especially when orders can be customized.

Explanation:

Traditional costing methods focus on Labor and material costs but in the modern business environment, overheads can be substantial and sometimes even more than the cost of labor and materials.

Activity Based costing allocates cost more accurately by considering how cost is incurred and absorbs the cost based on this. It also recognizes that some orders require customization,  making their cost totally different from similar orders. This is a more detailed approach to calculating cost than traditional costing methods that assume that orders are generically made in a long production line.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The auditor is entitled to collect the audit fee and is not liable for $90 000.

Explanation:

Ace & King did their job in a competent way, the fact that the company's controller was doing something illegal is not their responsibility. External auditors work with the information that is given to them and their job is limited to analyzing them and making their conclusions about them.

In this case, the controller was the person responsible for giving the information to the auditing company, so he had the chance to direct their conclusions. An external auditor is not responsible for what happens inside a firm, and if someone steals money or assets, he/she is responsible for it.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The income effect and substitution effect work in opposite directions and income effect is dominant.

Explanation:

In case of a normal good, both the income effect as well as substitution effect work in the same direction. A fall in the price of a product will increase the purchasing power of the consumer so its quantity demanded will increase.  

The consumers will also prefer the cheaper good so the substitution effect will cause the quantity demanded to increase.  

In case of an inferior good, however, income elasticity is negative. The income effect and substitution effect work in opposite directions.  

A price decrease in the case of an inferior good will increase the real income and purchasing power of the consumer. This will cause the quantity demanded of the inferior good to decline as the consumer will prefer a substitute normal good.
