Answer:

Outsource the production of B89, manufacture the new product and buy the part from a vendor to earn an extra $5.10 per unit.

Explanation:

Lasso Corporation manufactures a variety of appliances which all use Part B89. Currently, Lasso manufactures Part B89 itself. It has been producing 10,000 units of Part B89 annually. The annual costs of producing Part B89 at the level of 10,000 units include the following:

Direct materials $3.00

Direct labor $8.10

Variable manufacturing overhead $4.20

Fixed manufacturing overhead $3.20

Total cost $18.50

If Lasso decides to purchase Part B89 form a vendor, it will be able to save = direct material, direct labor and variable overhead = $3 + $8.10 + $4.20 = $15.30, and it will free the facility in order to produce another product that generates a $10 per unit contribution margin.

The decision to outsource production saves or generates = $15.30 + $10 = $25.30

The cost of outsourcing the production = $20.20

net impact = $25.30 - $20.20 = $5.10

Since the impact is positive, Lasso will earn a higher profit by outsourcing, so they should do it.

Make the new product and buy the part to earn an extra $5.10 per unit contribution to profit.

A) For the utility function above, if the price of the good is $4, what is the Marginal Utility per Dollar for the fourth unit c

ryzh [129]

The Marginal Utility per Dollar for the fourth unit consumed is 2.50 utils.

The Marginal Utility per Dollar for the second unit consumed is 9 utils.

Utility is the total satisfaction a consumer derives from consuming a good or service.

Marginal utility is the change in total utility when a consumer increases the unit consumer by one.

Marginal utility = change in total utility / change in price

Marginal Utility per Dollar for the fourth unit consumed

Marginal utility when the fourth unit is consumed = (64 - 54) / (4 - 3)

10 / 1 = 10.

Marginal utility per dollar = 10 / $4 = 2.50 utils

Marginal Utility per Dollar for the second unit consumed

Marginal utility of the second unit = (40 - 22) / (2 - 1) =

18 / 1 = 18

Marginal utility per dollar = 18 / $2 = 9 utils
