Answer:

a) incremental cost = $8,072

b) Craig should accept the RBG offer since the incremental cost is less than $10,000

Explanation:

First the question states to determine the relevant costs of two different options

Option 1: To accept the offer at $33,652

Option 2: Reject the offer but conduct the survey as in the past.

Step 1: The offer is $33,652

Step 2: Determine the cost of the survey done as in the past based on relevant costs.

The relevant costs are Mailing, Printing by Lester and the Salary of Pat Fisher

The irrelevant costs are depreciation of computer and share of electricity, these are fixed costs.

So calculate the relevant costs

Mailing = $17,500

Printing = $6,000

Salary = $2,080

The total relevant cost for in house survey = $25,580

Step 3: We determine the difference between the offer and the cost of in house survey

Incremental Cost = $33,652 - $25,580

= $8,072

Since this is less than the $10,000 the company is willing to spend above the current costs. Then Beca Motors should accept the offer.

The Doright Door Company is considering outsourcing production of its door to Mexico. Use the weighted scoring method to evaluat
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

(A) Mexican supplier cost = $445,800 or $89.16 average cost.

In-house cost = $714,000 or $142.8

(B) Mexican supplier total weighted score = 0.265 or 22.43%

In-house supplier weighted score= 0.238 or 23.8%

(C) Yes, explaination below

Explanation:

Mexican Supplier cost breakdown:

Quota price $83 X 5000 = $415, 000

Transport cost

1. to transport 5000 doors would require making a total of 20 trips from Mexico to USA (5000/250 doors)

2. at a cost of $825 per trip, total cost to transport doors is = $16,500.

Sending Engineers costs and Negotiation cost =

$5000 + $1000

(Transport+Sending Engineers cost) =

$22,500

Inventory carrying cost= 20% of cost of storing the goods. (total of all other cost) 20% x 22500 = $8300

Total cost = $445,800 or $89.16 average cost.

Total weighted score average:

Using the formula;

Weight= score x rating

Score = Weight/rating (making score subject of the formula)

Mexican Weighted

score1= 16%/3 = 0.0533, + 0.12 score2, + 0.035 + score3, + 0.056 + score4. = 0.265.

American weighted score

Using same formula;

0.04 score1, + 0.15 score2, + 0.014 score3, + 0.034 score 4 = 0.238.

The company should outsource the product. Why? because it will reduce total cost of doors, making them cheaper for if they do so, resulting in higher profit.

The most recent financial statements for Cardinal, Inc., are shown here: Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales $23,500 Assets $12
finlep [7]

Answer:

$20,370.5

Explanation:

Net Profit Margin = Net Profit / Sales= 5,168 / 23500 = 0.219915 = 21.99%

Dividend Payout Ratio = Dividends / Net profit = $1,560/$5,168 = 0.3018576 = 30.19%

Increase in Assets = Total Assets / Current Sales * Change in Sales

Increase in Assets = 121,000 /23,500 * (28,300-23,500)

Increase in Assets = 5.1489362 * 4800

Increase in Assets = $24714.89

Increase in Current Liabilities = Current Liabilities / Current Sales * Change in Sales = 0

Earnings Retained = Revised sales * Net profit margin * (1- dividend payout ratio)

Earnings Retained = $28,300 * 21.99% * (1 - 30.19%)

Earnings Retained = $28,300 * 0.2199 * 0.6981

Earnings Retained = $4344.39497

Earnings Retained = $4344.39

External Financing Needed = Increase in Assets - Increase in Current Liabilities - Earnings Retained

External Financing Needed = $24714.89 - $0 - $4344.39

External Financing Needed = $20,370.5
