Kepple Manufacturing currently uses a traditional costing system. The company allocates overhead to its two products, Zips and Dees, using a predetermined manufacturing overhead rate based on direct labor hours. Here is data related to the company's two products:

Zips Dees
Direct materials per unit $ 140.00 $ 100.00
Direct labor per unit $ 55.00 $ 50.00
Direct labor hours per unit 2.0 1.5
Annual production 25,000 40,000
Information about the company's estimated manufacturing overhead for the year follows:

Activities
Activity measures Estimated overhead cost
Supervision and maintenance Direct labor hours $2,200,000
Batch costs Number of batches $ 212,500
Engineering changes Number of engineering hours $ 180,000
Total estimated manufacturing overhead for the year $2,592,500
Total estimated direct labor hours for the company for the year are 110,000 hours.

The company is evaluating whether it should use an activity-based costing system in place of its traditional costing system. Additional information about production needed for the activity-based costing system follows:

Expected activity
Zips Dees Total
Supervision and maintenance 50,000 60,000 110,000
Batch costs 2,000 500 2,500
Engineering changes 1,800 1,200 3,000

The amount of manufacturing overhead that would be allocated to one unit of Zips using an activity-based costing system would be closest to:

Select one:

a. $32.86.

b. $11.95.

c. $51.12.

d. $64.81.

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
