Recher Corporation uses part Q89 in one of its products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of prod

ucing the 6,200 units of the part that are needed every year. Per Unit Direct materials$7.60 Direct labor$4.20 Variable overhead$8.30 Supervisor's salary$3.20 Depreciation of special equipment$2.70 Allocated general overhead$1.40 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.00 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $5,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided. In addition, the space used to produce part Q89 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $15,600 per year for that product. Required: a. Prepare a report that shows the financial impact of buying part Q89 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company. b. Which alternative should the company choose

Answer:

Recher Corporation:

a) Financial impact of buying part Q89:

i) Relevant costs for In-house production of part Q89 are the avoidable costs:

Direct materials - $7.60

Direct labour - $4.20

Variable overhead - $8.30

Supervisor's salary $3.20

Avoidable general overhead - $0.81

Avoidable cost = $24.11 per unit

Total = $24.11 x 6,200 = $149,482

ii) Relevant cost of buying outside equals outside price minus additional segment savings = (6,200 x $27) - $15,600 = $151,800

When i) is compared with ii), it shows that it would cost more to buy outside ($151,800) than to produce the part in-house ($149,482).

b) The alternative the company should choose is to produce in-house.

Explanation:

a) The avoidable general overhead of $0.81 was obtained by dividing $5,000 of general overhead by 6,200 units, i.e. $5,000 / 6,200.

b) The depreciation for the special equipment is not included as it is not relevant.  It must be incurred no matter the option chosen.

c) The relevant cost of buying the part outside was reduced by $15,600 since this amount would be realized as additional margin with the choice.

d) |n making cost decisions, relevant and avoidable costs are considered.  Any cost that will be incurred notwithstanding the choice made is not relevant.  Such costs are unavoidable.  For example, the depreciation on the equipment.

Consider a production possibilities frontier (PPF) with good X on the horizontal axis and good Y on the vertical axis. The PPF i
Ahat [919]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

As more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.

If the PPF is a straight line, it means there is a constant opportunity cost no matter the point one is on the curve

Any effort by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to evaluate expected deceptive marketing practices would be seriously flawed be
Llana [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is true because the Federal Trade commission(FTC) analyze and investigate a seller or sellers who may be so cooperative as to make agreements that ensure large amounts of profit for them which is likely harmful and exploitative to consumers . FTC investigates business mergers which may be horizontal or vertical that are likely done for the purpose of increasing market share and fostering a sort of monopoly of the market. However, mergers and cooperation among businesses in the market do not always yield a monopoly and the FTC may be wrong(sometimes) to wave mergers that could increase the quality of goods or services in a market
