Jefferson, Inc. produces two different products (Product 5 and Product Z) using two different activities: Machining, which uses machine hours as an activity driver, and Inspection, which uses number of batches as an activity driver. The cost of Machining is $185,600, while the cost of Inspection is $33,500. The activity drivers are used as follows: Product 5Product ZTotal Machine hours1,8563,9445,800 Number of batches452267 What proportion of Machining activity is used by Product Z?

Proportion product Z (Machining)= 68%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machining uses machine hours as an activity driver.

The cost of Machining is $185,600

Machine hours:

Product 5= 1,856

Product Z= 3,944

Total Machine hours=  5,800

To calculate the proportion of Machining for product Z, we need to divide the machine-hours used by the total machine-hours

Proportion product Z= 3,944/5,800= 0.68= 68%

If you have to allocate the machining costs to Product Z:

Machining costs= 0.68*185,600= $126,208

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.

1. avoid them

2. a talk with them

3. ask someone you trust

4. ignore

5. call police
