The Great Depression was unusual because it was so deep and lasted so long. In fact, it was actually two separate recessions (August 1929 to March 1933, and May 1937 to June 1938). The Great Depression was also characterized by another striking condition: Prices across the economy declined throughout the course of the decade. In fact, at the end of the 1930s, the general price level, as measured by the GDP deflator, was 20% lower than it had been in 1929. Due to the decline in the price level, it is evident that the primary cause of the Great Depression was a decline inaggregate demand. In the figure below, shift the appropriate curve to reflect your answer choice, which would create the outcome of declining prices during the Great Depression.

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?
