Answer: corrects the distortions built into product costing by the way that direct costs are allocated

Explanation:

Activity-based costing simply refers to a costing method whereby the activities in an organization are identified and then the cost of each activity are assigned to the products and services based on the actual consumption by each of the product.

It should be noted that in activity cost, more indirect costs are being assigned into the direct costs when it's being compared to the conventional costing. It corrects the distortions that are built into product costing through the allocation of the direct costs.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

would leave the market first if the price were any lower.

Explanation:

Utility can be defined as any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service.

Thus, any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service is generally referred to as a utility.

In Economics, The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the unit of a good or service consumed by an individual increases, the additional satisfaction he or she derives from consuming additional units would start decreasing or diminishing as the units of good or service consumed increases.

A marginal seller refers to an individual or business firm that is most willing to sell his or her goods and services at a price that is typically equal to their economic cost while forfeiting producer surplus.

A producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

Hence, a marginal seller is the seller who would leave the market first if the price were any lower.

g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Debit Depreciation expense  $1,340

  Credit Accumulated depreciation  $1,340

2. Debit Interest expense  $275

   Credit Accrued Interest  $275

3. Debit Supplies expense  $450

   Credit Supplies Account  $450

4. Debit Unearned Service revenue  $3,100

   Credit Service revenue  $3,100

5. Debit Salaries expense  $900

   Credit Accrued Salaries  $900

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

Mathematically,  

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

It is recorded by debiting depreciation and crediting accumulated depreciation.

When interest is incurred as an expense but yet to be paid, it will be accrued for by Debiting Interest expense and crediting accrued Interest. The same applies to salaries incurred but yet to be paid.

When Supplies is purchased, Debit supplies and credit Cash/Accounts payable. As Supplies are used up, debit supplies expense (with the amount used) and Credit Supplies account.

Amount of supplies used up = $550 - $100

= $450

When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are

Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.

As the service is performed and the revenue is earned, debit Unearned fees and credit revenue.

Earned revenue = $4,000 - $900

= $3,100

In regard to firm growth, evidence shows that ________. service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firm
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

At least during the last couple of decades, service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firms do not.

Explanation:

The last president that recorded a steady manufacturing growth rate was Bill Clinton.

Service firms are growing steadily and probably will continue to do it. While manufacturing firms have been slowing down, their growth rate (if any) is not very large during the past few years and that tendency has increased with the new trade barriers imposed by our government during the last couple of years.

Another thing that helps the growth of service firms is that when manufacturing firms or agricultural firms grow, they need more services, so service firms will grow even more.
