The difference is only in the strategy the company wants to use. For some market segments calculating the cost of goods sold by the permanent or periodic method may be more advantageous and allow a better monitoring of business efficiency and profitability. Companies often choose the method that best fits their organizational strategy. The periodic method, for example, as used by Kelty Industries, can be useful for greater input and output control, process optimization, consumer behavior assessment, and other advantages. But if Howe and Kelty wanted to change the calculation method, it would not affect anything, as the result would be the same regardless of the calculation, periodic or daily.

Answer:
The total amount of administrative cost to the Accounting Department is $ 14,900.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the total amount of administrative cost to the Accounting Department, first we need to calculate the Utilization Ratio of the particulars, using the following formua:
Utilization Ratio=(Total amount particular/Utilised by accounting department)
Hence, the Utilization Ratio of Administration costs
=(50/280)
=0.178
the Utilization Ratio of Maintenance fee
=(12,000/36,000)=0.33
the Utilization Ratio of Utilities=(12,000/36,000)=0.33
Therefore, the total amount of administrative cost to the Accounting Department=(0.178×$50,000)+(0.33×$12,000)+(0.33×$6,000)
=$8,900+$4,000+$2,000
=$14,900
