Answer:

a. It is serving the bottom of the pyramid.

Explanation:

By serving the bottom of the pyramid (impoverished community), the company is giving back to the community.

The water purifiers are cheap when mass-produced, so by partnering with people from this region they will be able to effectively distribute the incentive.

Also this is an avenue for the indegenes to earn income as commission.

A diesel-powered tractor with a cost of $186,240 and estimated residual value of $5,700 is expected to have a useful operating l
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

$612

Explanation:

To compute the depreciation, first we have to compute the depreciation per hour which is given below:

= (Cost of diesel-powered tractor  - estimated residual value) ÷ (useful operating life)

= ($186,240 - $5,700) ÷ (59,000 hours)

= ($180,540) ÷ (59,000 hours)

= $3.06 per hour

Now the depreciation would be

= Operated hours  × depreciation per hour

= 200 units × $3.06

= $612

Dept Cost             140,000      115,000

Cost allocation                            32941        41177         65882

(Computer)

Cost allocation                                

(Maintenance)                                                56900          91041

Total                                                                98077         156923

Workings.

Computer department cost allocation

Maintenance department = 4/17*140000 =32941

Mixing department = 5/17*140000 =41177

Packaging department = 8/17*140000= 65882

Maintenance department cost allocation

Total cost allocated = 147941

Mixing department = 5/13*147941 = 56900

Packaging department  = 8/13*147941 =91041
