Answer:

R is a better alternative because it has a higher NPV than Q.

MW Company manufactures down-filled comforters and uses an activity-based costing system. During the current period, the company
Scilla [17]

Answer:

MW Company

Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660

= $82 per order

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production = 16,500 units

Direct labor = 19,800 hours

Machine hours = 21,450 hours

No. of orders = 660

No. of shipments = 165

Order-processing cost pool = $54,120

Shipping cost pool = $14,025

Assembly cost pool = $71,280

Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660

= $82 per order

b) MW Company uses an activity-based costing system to identify its activities into cost pools and assign the cost of each activity pool to the products and services according to their actual consumption of the activities.  The activity-based costing technique provides a more accurate method for determining the costs of products and services.  As a more accurate method for pricing decisions than other traditional methods, activity-based costing technique increases management's understanding of overheads and cost drivers and makes activities that are costly and non-value adding to become more visible, allowing managers to reduce or eliminate them, because these activities add costs to the production system.
