elb Company currently manufactures 50,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $61,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 50,000 units and buying 50,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Incremental Cost of Making Product

Variable costs are $2.95 per unit and 50,000 units are to be made. Total Variable Cost is therefore,

= 2.95 * 50,000

= $147,500

Fixed costs associated with the production are$ 67,000 so added tl the variable costs is,

= 147,500 + 67,000

= $214,500

$214,500 is the cost making the product.

Cost of Buying Product

Component can be bought for $3.90 per unit. 50,000 units to be bought gives,

= 50,000 * 3.9

= $195,000

Cost of buying is $195,000

Decision

Company should buy the component as it spends less in buying it than I making it.

Note - Allocated fixed costs were not included in calculation because they will be there regardless of the decision. Hence the term, incremental costs.

Answer 2

Answer:

elb Company

a) Incremental Cost of making 50,000 units:

Variable costs = $2.95 x 50,000 = $147,500

Avoidable fixed costs = $67,000

Total = $214,500

b) Incremental Cost of buying 50,000

Buy-in costs =- $3.90 x 50,000 = $195,000

c) The company should buy this component from the outside supplier.

Explanation:

In make or buy decisions, only variable and avoidable costs are taken into consideration.  Unavoidable fixed costs are sunk costs which must be incurred irrespective of the choice made.

Therefore, the unavoidable allocated fixed costs of $61,500 should not be taken into consideration.  Afterall, no matter the decision, it would still be incurred and allocated.

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to inventories? The FIFO method assumes that the costs of the earliest goods acquired are the last to be sold. It is generally good business management to sell the most recently acquired goods first "Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased." FIFO seldom coincides with the actual physical flow of inventory.

Answers

Answer:

Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased.

Explanation:

First in, first out inventory (FIFO) method values cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the "oldest" units in inventory. This means that the cost of the first units sold will be used to determine COGS.

On the other hand, last in, first out (LIFO) method uses the price of the most recently purchased units to determine the cost of goods sold.

Having surveyed them, she learns that 2 of the pistachio buyers would be willing to pay $2 for the bag of almonds while the other two would only be willing to pay $1. Both almond buyers would be willing pay $5 for the bag of pistachios. Suppose Peggy decides to sell a bundle containing one bag of pistachios and one bag of almonds in addition to selling them separately. What price should she charge for the bundle in order to maximize revenue?

Answers

Answer:

The price she should charge for the bundle in order to maximize profit is 9

Explanation:

Solution

The total pistachios sold = 7 * 2 =14

The total almonds sold is = 4*1 = 4

So,

The total of both pistachios and almonds = 14 + 4 + 18

Thus,

we solve for getting average of the two which is:

Getting the average of the two in the bundle = 18/2

=9

Therefore p =9

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment

Calculation of Average Profits

Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years

                        = (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10

                        = $2,510,000 / 8

                        = $313,750

Calculation of Average Investment

Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2

                                  = $1,476,000/2

                                  = $738,000

Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

a. Annual depreciation = $3,800

b. First year depreciation is $8,000' while second year depreciation is $7,200.

Explanation:

a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method.

Depreciable amount = $80,000 - $4,000 = $76,000

Annual depreciation = $76,000 / 20 = $3,800

b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / 20 = 0.05, or 5%

Double declining depreciation rate = 5% * 2 = 10%

First year depreciation = $80,000 * 10% = $8,000

Second year depreciation = ($80,000 - $8,000) * 10% = $7,200

  5000 = P×1.12^5

  5000/1.12^5 = P ≈ $2837.13

James must deposit about $2837.13 now to have the required amount in 5 years.

Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A

Answers

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Correlation r = 0.9,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3

The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula

Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB

Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3

Hedge ratio = 0.6

Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

Royal Dutch Shell(RDS) acquires ethanol fuel from Brazilian Cosan energy company. The Ethanol costs 500 million Brazilian Real(BRL) to grow the corn and convert it to ethanol. RDS doesn't have BRL, so they must use the futures market to acquire the currency. If 1 BRL/USD futures contract is for 100,000 reals What is the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 5000 future contracts

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company

Nowm,

The Required coverage = 500,000,000

The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000

Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000

So,

= 500,000,000/100,000  = 5000

Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000

Suppose Mr. Lane just bought a share of BlueWind Co., a renewable energy startup. BlueWind promises to pay Mr. Lane $18 in dividends for one year and then the firm will shut down. Suppose that the liquidation value of the share is $3, and the rate of time preference is 5%. Then, according to the single-period dividend discount model, the present value of the cash payment received by Mr. Lane in one year would be

Answers

Answer:

The present value of the cash payment is $20

Explanation:

The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.

The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor

discount factor=1/(1+r)^n

where is the rate of time preference of 5%'

n is 1 i.e in one year's time

total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21

discount factor =1/(1+5%)^1=0.95238

present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20

Answers

Answer:

The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

Explanation:

In order to calculate The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to calculate first the Overhead allocated to Maintenance from Payroll department as follows:

Overhead allocated=Payroll overhead×(Maintenance payroll personnel/Total personnel)

Overhead allocated=$ 20,400×(15/15+15+45)

Overhead allocated=$4,080

Therefore, to calculate the The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to use the following formula:

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=Overhead allocated+Direct overhead incurred

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$4,080+$25,500

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$29,580

The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.

Answers

Answer:

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Explanation:

Given:

Retained earnings = $2.7 million

Common shares account = $4.7 million

Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million

Stock dividend = 10%

Find:

Changes in account.

Computation:

1. Change in retained earnings

Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

2. Change in common shares account

Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)

Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

3. Change in additional paid-in capital

Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
