Part $1$

A$.$

The$$ dual$-$rate method provides information to division managers about cost behavior. Knowing how fixed costs and variable costs behave differently is useful in decision making.

B$.$

The$$ dual$-$rate method is useful because it has a low cost to implement it and makes the decision making much easier for the managers.

C$.$

The$$ dual$-$rate method is not useful to managers.

D$.$

The$$ dual$-$rate method is helpful to managers because it does not distinguish between fixed and variable$$ costs, therefore, the allocation of costs are simplified and reporting is made easier.
