Apart from risk components, several macroeconomic factors—such as federal reserve (the fed) policy, federal budget deficit or surplus, international factors, and levels of business activity—influence interest rates. based on your understanding of the impact of macroeconomic factors, identify which of the following statements are true or false: (a) long-term interest rates are not as sensitive to booms and recessions as are short-term interest rates.(b) if the fed injects a huge amount of money into the markets, inflation is expected to decline, and long-term interest rates are expected to rise. (c) when the fed increases the money supply, short-term interest rates tend to decline.(d) when the economy is weakening, the fed is likely to decrease short-term interest rates.

Zachary company produces commercial gardening equipment. since production is highly automated, the company allocates its overhead costs to product lines using activity-based costing. the costs and cost drivers associated with the four overhead activity cost pools follow: activities unit level batch level product level facility level cost $ 64,800 $ 27,730 $ 15,000 $ 154,000 cost driver 2,400 labor hrs. 47 setups percentage of use 11,000 units production of 780 sets of cutting shears, one of the company’s 20 products, took 240 labor hours and 7 setups and consumed 15 percent of the product-sustaining activities. required: (a) had the company used labor hours as a company wide allocation base, how much overhead would it have allocated to the cutting shears? (b) how much overhead is allocated to the cutting shears using activity-based costing? (c) compute the overhead cost per unit for cutting shears first using activity-based costing and then using direct labor hours for allocation if 780 units are produced. if direct product costs are $150 and the product is priced at 30 percent above cost for what price would the product sell under each allocation system? (d) assuming that activity-based costing provides a more accurate estimate of cost, indicate whether the cutting shears would be over- or underpriced if direct labor hours are used as an allocation base. explain how over-or undercosting can affect vaulker's profitability. (e) comment on the validity of using the allocated facility-level cost in the pricing decision. should other costs be considered in a cost- plus pricing decision? if so, which ones? what costs would you include if you were trying to decide whether to accept a special order?
