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.
Answer: The Ricardian equivalence theorem states that
: <u>"A. an increase in the government budget deficit has no effect on aggregate demand."</u>
Explanation: Ricardian Equivalence establishes that when the government increases the expenses financed with debt to try to stimulate the demand, this increase of the expenses does not produce any change in the demand.
This happens because the increases in the public deficit will be higher taxes in the future. Therefore, taxpayers reduce their consumption and increase their savings in order to offset the cost that will be the future tax increase.
