Answer:

No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.

Explanation:

In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.

This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.

In this instance let's get the cost of each process.

Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour.

The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour

Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)

Total cost = $41,000

For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour

Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)

Total cost = $36,500

As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker

Answer:

The correct answers are the following options: A regional sales manager's salary is a direct cost of the regional office in which the sales manager works - A direct cost can be easily and conveniently traced to a specific cost object.

Explanation:

On the other hand, the <em>"indirect costs"</em> are the ones that have the characteristics of being the oppositive of the direct costs. Therefore that these type of costs are the ones that would not be easily referable to a cost object.
