I think the answer is Strong leadership, because you can’t have a good event without the right evader
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The above question is based on a non-linear programming model, to answer this question, there will be a need to determine the optimal order quantities of the three different Ferns with diverse values of annual demand, item cost as well as order cost objective of the non-linear programming model is to minimize the overall annual cost.
Step 1: Setup a spreadsheet on Excel, as shown in the first and second attached images below:
Note: The values of quantities of the three items is kept as 1 to for the calculations of total cost.
The Solver dialogue box will appear. Enter the decision variables, objective function and the constraints, as shown in the third attached image below:
Answer:
Cost to make $337,600
Cost to make $344,400
The company should make the product
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total incremental cost of making 84,000 and buying 84,000 units
COST TO MAKE
Relevant per unit Relevant fixed cost Total relevant cost
Variable cost per unit $2.90 - $243,600(84000*$2.90)
Fixed manufacturing costs - $94,000 $94,000
Cost to make $337,600
($243,600+$94,000)
COST TO BUY
Relevant per unit Relevant fixed cost Total relevant cost
purchase per unit $4.10 - $344,400[$4.10*84000]
Cost to make $344,400
Based on the above calculation the cost of buying is higher than the cost of making therefore the company should MAKE the product.
Answer:
a. Incremental analysis.
b. Sunk cost.
c. Relevant information.
d. Opportunity cost.
e. Joint products.
f. Out-of-pocket cost.
g. Split-off point.
Explanation:
a. Incremental analysis: examination of differences between costs to be incurred and revenue to be earned under different courses of action.
b. Sunk cost: a cost incurred in the past that cannot be changed as a result of future actions. Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered.
c. Relevant information: costs and revenue that are expected to vary, depending on the course of action decided on. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
d. Opportunity cost: the benefit foregone by not pursuing an alternative course of action. Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.
e. Joint products: products made from common raw materials and shared production processes.
f. Out-of-pocket cost: a cost yet to be incurred that will require future payment and may vary among alternative courses of action.
g. Split-off point: the point at which manufacturing costs are split equally between ending inventory and cost of goods sold. Thus, it give rise to joint products that emerge from the same raw materials and a shared manufacturing process.
I think this is an example of self-serving bias. This is the tendency of people to attribute positive outcomes to personal factors, but attribute negative outcomes to external factors such as other people. The reason people have this tendency because personalizing success or positive outcomes helps their self-esteem.
