Airlines utilize _____ because there is constant communication and back-and-forth between gate agents, ticket agents, baggage ha

solniwko [45]

Hey there!

Your answer is reciprocal independence.

In reciprocal independence, different areas of a company are constantly communicating with each other.

Sequential independence means that one area is dependent on the actions of another, which is not what this is describing.

In pooled independence, different parts of the business are very separate and don't really interact with others, which is definitely what this is describing.

Hope this helps!

Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?

So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.

c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.

This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.

d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?

Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Saddle Inc.

1. Overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach is:

= $1.84

2. The overhead rates using activity-based costing approach are:

Machining = $72.49

Machine setup = $211.69

3. The difference in allocation between the two approaches:

Differences:

ABC approach $121,808 $178,188 $299,996

Using plantwide $110,400 $189,520 $299,920

Differences $11,408 -$11,332 $76

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total estimated overhead costs = $300,000

Machining activity = $195,000

Machine setup activity = $105,000

Standard Custom Total

Direct labor costs $60,000 $103,000 $163,000

Machine hours 1,400 1,290 2,690

Setup hours 96 400 496

Overhead rate based on direct labor costs = $1.84 ($300,000/163,000)

Overhead rates using activity-based costing approach:

Machining = $72.49 ($195,000/2,690)

Machine setup = $211.69 ($105,000/496)

Allocation of overhead costs:

Standard Custom Total

Using plantwide $110,400 $189,520 $299,920

Using ABC:

Machining $101,486 $93,512 $194,998

Machine setup 20,322 84,676 104,998

Total costs $121,808 $178,188 $299,996

Differences:

ABC approach $121,808 $178,188 $299,996

Using plantwide $110,400 $189,520 $299,920

Differences $11,408 -$11,332 $76
