Answer:
For both 10,000 units and 20,000 units, the best alternative is Vendor B
Explanation:
Using the information provided in the question, we can write the following:
Annual Volume of 10,000 units
Internal Alternative 1
Variable costs = 170,000 (we multiply the variable cost per unit by total units)
Fixed costs = 20,000
Total costs = 370,000
Internal Alternative 2
Variable costs = 140,000
Fixed costs = 240,000
Total costs = 380,000
Vendor A
Total cost = 200,000 (we simply multiply the price by the quantity)
Vendor B
Total cost = 180,000
Vendor C
Total cost = 190,000
The cheapest option is Vendor B
Now for the 20,000 units:
Internal Alternative 1
Variable costs = 340,000
Fixed costs = 200,000
Total costs = 540,000
Internal Alternative 2
Variable costs = 280,000
Fixed costs = 240,000
Total costs = 520,000
Vendor A
Total cost = 400,000
Vendor B
Total cost = 360,000
Vendor C
Total cost = 380,000
Therefore, Vendor B is once again, the cheapest alternative.
Answer:
- 8,000: $30
- 13,000: $32.50
- 17,000: $42.50
Explanation:
<u>8,000</u>
This amount is below the quantity for which additional charges accrue. The base charge applies: $30.
<u>13,000</u>
This is 1000 gallons more than you get for $30, so costs an additional $2.50. The total water cost is ...
$30 +2.50 = $32.50
<u>17,000</u>
This is 5,000 gallons more than you get for $30, so costs an additional 5×$2.50 = $12.50. The total water cost is ...
$30 +12.50 = $42.50
_____
<em>Comment on the water charges</em>
$30 is the same as the cost of 12,000 gallons at $2.50 per thousand. So, the total bill can be figured at $2.50 per thousand, with a $30 minimum.
8 × $2.50 = $20, so the charge is the minimum, $30
13 × $2.50 = $32.50
17 × $2.50 = $42.50
Answer:
you should pay up to $2,737.84 to Tobi
Explanation:
first, the terminal price of the perpetuity must be determined = annual payment / r = $1,500 / .08 = $18,750
now, the present day value of the future terminal value
present value = future value / (1 + r)ⁿ = $18,750 / (1 + 8%)²⁵ = $2,737.84
I would say c, substitution effect as she is substituting a more expensive yogurt for a less expensive yogurt.
