is this better? i posted this question two times and everyone is saying its not clear. i cant make it more clear then this. its due soon can someone please do it. its been two days since i post it

the bottom pics that are in the end should be visable

10 current Design has two main product lines.compoule yale, which are handmade and 11 very laborIntensive and retomolded kayaks, which require less laber but employ more expensive equipment Current Design's 12 controller, Dlane unwell, is now evaluating several different methods of wigning overhead to these products. It is important to 13 ensure that costs are appropriately assigned to the company's products. At the same time, the water that is used must not be 14 complex that its costs are greater than its benefits. 16 Diane has decided to use the following activities and costs to evaluate the methods of signing overhead, SIR218.75 237,800.00 Activities Designing new models Creating and testing prototypes Creating molds for kayaks Operating oven for the rotomoded kayaks Operating the vacuum line for the composite kayaks Supervising production employees Curing time the time that is needed for the chemical processes to finish before the next step in the production proces, many of these costs are related to the space required in the building Total 562.500.00 $43,750.00 $281.250.00 $292,500.00 $1,406,250.00 P As Diane examines the data, she decides that the cost of operating the oven for the rotomolded kayaks and the cost of operating the vacuum line for the composite kayaks can be directly assigned to each of these product lines and do not need to be allocated th the other costs 4 15 Instructions For purpose of this analysis, assume that Current Designs uses $292,500 in direct labor costs to produce 2,000 composite kayaks and 5357,500 in direct labor costs to produce 8.000 rotomolded kayaks each year. (a) One method of allocating overhead would allocate the common costs to each product line by using a allocation basis such as by using a allocation basiswch a the number of employees working on each type of kayak or the amount of factory space used for the production of each type of kayak Diane knows that about 50% of the area of the plant and 50% of the employees work on the composite kayaks, and the remaining space and other employees work on the rotomolded kayaks.
