Based on the fact that the divisions of this national grocery chain are set up in such a way that they can serve different locations, this is a<u> geographic structure.</u>
<h3>What is a geographic structure?</h3>
This is a departmentalization style where a company creates divisions in various areas to service their customers located in those places.
This is what this national grocery chain is doing by setting up divisions in various areas to access their customers around the country.

Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate Overhead Rate per hour
Predetermined Overhead rate will be the estimated total manufacturing overhead divided by the estimated total direct labor hours. This will be:
= $ 921,600/51,200
= $ 18
(b) Calculate how much manufacturing overhead will be applied to production
Manufacturing overhead that'll be applied to production will be the predetermined overhead rate multiplied by the actual total direct labor hours. This will be:
= $ 18 × 48,900 direct labor hours
= $ 880,200
(c) Is overhead over- or underapplied? By how much?
The Actual Overhead Incurred = $902,900 while the manufacturing overhead applied = $880,200. This shows that overhead is underapplied due to the fact that manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual overhead that is incurred.
Therefore, the amount of overhead that was underapplied will be:
= $ 902,900 - $ 880,200
= $ 22,700
(d) What account should be adjusted for over-or underapplied overhead? Should the balance be increased or decreased?
Based on the scenario in the question and the answers calculated, the cost of goods sold should be increased.
D) magazines can only be deducted if purchased for a business.

Please refer explanation and tables attached
Explanation:
1. Double-declining balance Method:
This is where the asset's value is depreciated at twice the rate than the straight line method. The depreciation amounts would be higher in the early years of the asset's life and gradually reduce towards the end. Hence, it does not mean that the depreciation amount would be higher than the straight line basis.
Straight Line depreciation per year = 1/6* x 100 = 16.67%
*as it is useful for six years
Hence double-depreciation value = 16.67% x 2 = 33.34%
It is calculated as depreciation rate x book value of asset at the beginning of the period.
Please refer attached table one for all years depreciation.
2. Activity based depreciation is whereby an asset is depreciated based on the asset’s activity such as the number of hours worked or the number of units produced, during a particular period of time. Activity based depreciation per year is calculated as:
[(Cost - Salvage value) x activity performed during the period] / Total estimated life activity of the asset
Please refer attached table two for all years depreciation.
Answer:
a. $44.44
Explanation:
The amortization will be allowed for 10 months in the year (March-December) as the return is filed on a calendar year basis. The deduction allowed per month $4.44 ($800 / 180).
The maximum allowable deduction for amortization of organizational expenditures in the current year is $44.44 ($4.44*10 months).
