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.

Suppose the Fed carries out an open market sale of $100m and simultaneously decreases the minimum required reserve ratio from 10
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

loanable amount after Fed operation = $950 M

Securities after fed operation = $50 M

attached below is the T-account table

Explanation:

Given data:

For assets : securities = $100 M ,  Loans = $800 M

For Liabilities :  Constant demand deposit = $1000 M

difference between the assets and liability = $100 M  and this makes the Banking system unbalanced hence the Banking system needs the intervention of the Fed. and the reduction in the required reserve ratio from 10% to 5% is the right action

How with the reserve ratio reduced to: 0.05

hence required  Minimum required securities after operation = 0.05 * 1000 M = 50 M

Note : Total demand deposits = securities + loanable amount

therefore loanable amount after Fed operation = $1000 M - $50 M = $950

Attached below is the T-table

When both tables are compared it can be seen that there is a significant increase  in the loanable amount after the Fed's operations and increase in Loanable amount transcends to increase in Monetary base

Differentiate between the short run and Long run?​
kramer

Answer:

Short-run is a time limit during which at least one input can be fixed and other input quantities can be verified.

The long run is a time period in which all the inputs can be verified in quantities.

Explanation:

  • Both the fixed and variable costs occur in the short term.
  • There are no fixed costs in the long term.
  • The combination of the output of a company results in the desired amount of the goods at the lowest possible cost is sustained by efficient long-term costs.
  • The output changes variable costs. For instance, the employee's salaries and raw material costs are variable costs.

  • Based on variable costs and the production rate, the short-run costs are increasing or falling. If a company manages its short-term costs well over time, the desired long-term costs and goals will more likely be achieved.
