Answer: b.  can increase investment, which is a key to ending a recession.

Explanation:

Investment tax credits work when the government decides that businesses can deduct what they spent on investment from their taxes. This is an incentive to encourage them to invest  more in various projects.

This is key to ending a recession because more investment creates jobs and increases production which will lead to economic growth which is the very antithesis of a recession.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead will be calculated as:

= 85% × direct labor cost.

= 85% × $13000

= 0.85 × $13000

= $11050

Direct material = $10,000

Direct labor = $13000

Total cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead

= $10000 + $13000 + $11050

= $34050

Acclaim Inc.

                                         Basic Trophies     Deluxe Trophies

Budgeted unit cost:

a. using single-plant o/h rate   $17.60                  $28.80

b. using departmental rates    $17.42                  $29.16

c. using ABC                            $18.26                  $27.48

d. They show different costs because the overhead rates are based on different parameters.
