Wheeler Company can produce a product that incurs the following costs per unit: direct materials, $11.00; direct labor, $25.00,

and overhead, $17.00. An outside supplier has offered to sell the product to Wheeler for $48.55. If Wheeler buys from the supplier, it will still incur 45% of its overhead cost. Compute the net incremental cost or savings of buying.

Answer:

$3.20 per unit

Explanation:

In this question, we have to compare the cost between two cases

In the first case, the total cost per unit would be

= Direct materials per unit + direct labor per unit + overhead cost per unit

= $11 + $25 + $17

= $53

In the first case, the total cost per unit would be

= Purchase price + overhead cost

= $48.55 + $17 × 45%

= $48.55 + $7.65

= $56.20

So, the difference would be

= $56.20 - $53

= $3.20 per unit

As the level of activity increases, how will a mixed cost in total and per unit behave? In Total Per Unit A) Increase Decrease B
Airida [17]

Answer:

A) Increase Decrease

Explanation:

As we know that

Mixed cost is the combination of both fixed cost and the variable cost

Mixed costs are costs in which one component of cost is Fixed and the other component is variable

In equation form,

Mixed cost = Fixed cost + variable cost

In the case of variable cost, the per unit would remain the same and it increased when production increases

But the fixed cost amount would remain the same  but if the production rises the per unit declines

Similarly, Fixed costs remain the same in Total and decreases per unit with increase in production

Therefore option A is correct

Juanita makes $30 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her dress, so each hour away from work costs her $3
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Juanita should purchase the suit at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.

Explanation:

three options:

  1. local store 15 minutes away and a price of $114
  2. across town 30 minutes away and a price of $86
  3. neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $60

Juanita makes $30 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:

total economic cost:

  • local store = $114 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $144
  • across town = $86 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $131
  • neighboring city = $60 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $135

Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($131)

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.

In the Classical Theory, it is the price-wage-interest rate _____________ that restores the economy to full employment if Househ
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

flexibility

Explanation:

According to classical economists, the price-wage-interest rate flexibility refers to a combination of flexible factors that maintains economic stability:

  • Flexible interest rates keeps the money markets (loans) in equilibrium.
  • Flexible wages keeps the labor market in equilibrium.
  • Flexible prices keeps the goods and services markets in equilibrium.

Therefore, if spending declines, the economy will self-adjust using flexible interest rates (interest rates should lower), flexible wages (wages should lower) and flexible prices (prices should lower) until the economy rebounds.
