Answer:

a. multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.

Explanation:

Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.

Generally, an activity-based costing uses multiple cost pools such as manufacturing cost or customer services and multiple cost drivers such as direct labor hours worked, number of changes used in engineering department, etc.

Cost pool is simply the amount of money spent by a firm on a particular activity.

Hence, to assign overhead costs to each product, the company multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.

In activity-based costing, the activity rate for an activity cost pool is calculated by using the following formula;

Activity rate = total overhead cost/activity for the activity cost pool.

The least likely task to be done while the worksheets are grouped when you have a workbook that contains sales data for different regional sales representatives of a company, is to make sure that you ungrouped sheets if ever you want to perform a task on only one worksheet because if you forget to ungroup sheets you could potentially ruin several worksheets by overwriting data on all worksheets instead of just the active worksheet.

Consider a $10,000 machine that will reduce pretax operating costs by $3,000 per year over a 5-year period. Assume no changes in

ki77a [65]

Answer:

A) $83

Explanation:

First, find aftertax OCF per year

aftertax OCF = (Operating benefit - depreciation)*(1-tax) +depreciation

Depreciation per year = 10,000/5 = 2,000

Tax = 34%

aftertax OCF per year = (3,000 - 2,000)*(1-0.34) + 2,000

= 660 +2,000

= 2,660

Next, find the PV of the aftertax OCF per year. It is an annuity;

PMT = 2,660

N = 5

I/Y = 10%

FV = 0

then CPT PV = 10,083.493

Subtract the initial cost of the machine to find the Net Present Value (NPV);

NPV = -$10,000 + $10,083.493

NPV = $83.493

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Canada's busiest airport will soon start to use artificial intelligence- powered technology to detect weapons.
The technology can detect both metallic and non-metallic weapons ranging from guns and knives to explosives, according to Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd., a Vancouver-based company which first marketed the technology. Known as Hex wave, the technology works by capturing radar images, then using artificial intelligence to analyze them for concealed weapons in bags or under clothing.
Liberty's CEO, Bill Riker explained, "radar essentially is emitting this form of energy, it's reflecting off a person and it's identifying any items on a person's body that don't belong on a body."
The technology will start getting deployed at Pearson in the Spring of 2020 in a bid to boost security, according to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, which runs Pearson.

Gables purchased used Mercedes from a German company. The cars were built for the German market and met its safety and pollution

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: (E) none of the other choices

Explanation:

None of the options are correct in the above question.

The USA extends Most Favoured Nation Status to most countries in the world including Germany so that would not be a reason for the car's not to pass through customs.

The cars could indeed be a threat to national security. Just because they come from a safe country does not mean that they were not tampered with. They need to be properly inspected.

They are indeed a source of competition for US automakers but that would be no reason to stop them. Perhaps tariffs could be applied on them but they will not be stopped.

There is no provision in US Customs practices that prohibits the importation of used cars solely because they are used cars therefore it will not be a reason to halt the car's going through customs.

None of the options are therefore correct.
