Answer:
D) When incremental revenues exceed incremental costs
Explanation:
Incremental revenues are the additional revenues generated by selling additional units, or in this case an special order. Incremental costs are the additional costs generated by accepting the special order.
Generally when a special order is being considered, the company must first determine if the additional output is possible with the current capacity, and if so, which additional costs would apply to the special order. Generally certain fixed costs are not included in the cost analysis of special orders, and only variable costs are used to determine if it generates profits or not.
The rest of your question:
unavoidable fixed overhead cost. What are the relevant costs for this decision? Based only these costs, which option should the company <span>choose?
The answer:
Relevant cost to make and Buy.</span>
<span>Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns (LDMR). As in Economic theory, there will be fixed and variable factors of production in the short run. This would imply that beyond a certain level of production, the next unit of variable factor added to the production would result in a lower output as compared to the previous unit of variable input that was added to the production. This is ultimately due to the over usage of the fixed factors of production (such as machinery and infrastructure) and resulting in a less "efficient" amount of output due to the physical operating limits of fixed factors of production. As such in the short run, MR will slope downward if the firm is producing beyond its most efficient point of production to ensure more products can be produced given a limited amount of time.</span>
True. A firm's information policy lays out who is responsible for updating and maintaining the information in a database system. This is just one of the responsibilities of the information policy as many firms have several. These policies help regulate communication, how it is being communicated and what is being communicated.
