Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Supplier's quotation (2,400 x $6.25) 150,000

Less: Relevant cost of production:

Direct material (2,400 x $31) 74,400

Direct labour (2,400 x $18) 43,200

Variable overhead (2,400 x $9) 21,600 139,200

Savings 10,800

The parts should be produced in-house since the relevant cost of production is lower than supplier's quotation.

Explanation:

In this case, we need to compare supplier's quotation to the relevant cost of production. The price of $6.25 above was computed by dividing the total price charged by the supplier by the number of parts. Moreso, the relevant cost of production is obtained by the aggregate of direct material, direct labour and variable overhead.

Dudley Transport Company divides its operations into four divisions. A recent income statement for its West Division follows. DU

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Companywide income would increase by $6,000 if West Division is eliminated.

Explanation:

The amount by which the companywide income will increase or decrease if West Division is eliminated can be determined by comparing Revenue with avoidable cost.

Avoidable cost refers to the cost that will be eliminated or not incurred if a firm decides to change the course of a business.

In this question, avoidable cost is simply the cost or expenses that will be eliminated if West Division is eliminated.

Among all the expenses in the question, only Companywide facility-sustaining costs which is $78,000 cannot be eliminated if West Division is eliminated.

Therefore, avoidable cost can be calculated as follows:

Avoidable cost = Salaries for drivers + Fuel expenses + Insurance + Division-level facility-sustaining costs = 210,000 + 30,000 + 42,000 + 24,000 = $306,000

Since, Revenue = $300,000

Decision rule:

1. If revenue is greater than avoidable cost, we have a decrease in income. Therefore, the division should not be eliminated.

2. If revenue is less than avoidable cost, we have an increase in income. Therefore, the division should be eliminated.

Since the revenue of $300,000 is less than the avoidable cost of $306,000, it implies we have an increase in income based on the decision rule 2. The increase in income is calculated as follows:

Increase in income if West Division is eliminated = Avoidable cost – Revenue = $306,000 - $300,000 = $6,000

Therefore, companywide income would increase by $6,000 if West Division is eliminated

Since there would be an increase in income of $6,000, West Division should therefore be eliminated.
