Beagle clothiers uses a weighted score for the evaluation and selection of its suppliers of trendy fashion garments. each supplier is rated on a 10-point scale (10equalshighest) for four different criteria: price, quality, delivery, and flexibility (to accommodate changes in quantity and timing). because of the volatility of the business in which beagle operates, flexibility is given twice the weight of each of the other three criteria, which are equally weighted (the sum of the four weights equals 1). the table shows the scores for three potential suppliers for the four performance criteria. rating criteria supplier a supplier b supplier c 1. price 7 9 6 2. quality 7 6 9 3. delivery 6 9 7 4. flexibility 8 7 9 based on the highest weighted score, which supplier should be selected?

Vintage fun reproduces oldminusfashioned style roller skates and skateboards. the annual production and sales of roller skates is 950 units, while 1,750 skateboards are produced and sold. the company has traditionally used direct labor hours to allocate its overhead to products. roller skates require 2.5 direct labor hours per unit, while skateboards require 1.25 direct labor hours per unit. the total estimated overhead for the period is $114,300. the company is looking at the possibility of changing to an activityminusbased costing system for its products. if the company used an activityminusbased costing system, it would have the following three activity cost pools: the overhead cost per skateboard using the traditional costing system would be closest to: a. $9.31. b. $65.31. c. $25.05. your answer is not correct.d.
