Answer:

The company should make the components because incremental costs are $2 less than the purchase price.

Explanation:

To solve this we would have to calculate the cost of making each unit of the component.

= Direct Labour + Direct Material + Overhead*

25% of Overhead is said to be Incremental. Overhead is 4. This means that 25% of 4 is the Marginal Cost of production. i.e, the cost per unit.

= 25% * 4

= (25/100) x 4

= 1

We would charge $1 per unit to overhead costs.

Therefore, the cost of making each unit of component

= $5 + $2 + $1 = $8

Since the cost of purchasing each unit of component is $10. Then the company has to produce the component because it is less with a difference of $2.

$10 - $8 = $2

Answer:

$38,400

Explanation:

<em>1. Cash Purchases:</em>

The total purchases in the month of March is of $35,000.

It is given that 70% of Purchases are for cash.

Hence, 70% of $35,000 would be;

$39,000 x 0.70

$27,300

<em>2. Credit Purchases: </em>

Remaining Balance of Purchases from the month of February:

For the month of February Cash Purchases can be calculated as follows;

$37,000 x 0.70

$25,900

Remaining Balance to be paid in March for the month of February can be calculated as follows;

$37,000 - $25,900

$11,100

<em>3. CASH PAYMENT for PURCHASES in MARCH:</em>

Cash Purchases = $27,300

Credit Purchases = $11,100

Hence;

<em>Cash Payment for purchases in March = Cash Purchases + Credit Purchases </em>

Cash Payment for purchases in March = $27,300 + $11,100

Cash Payment for purchases in March = $38,400

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

D) The negotiator role

Explanation:

Business managers often have to negotiate with suppliers, employees or in this the landlord in order to solve a potential conflict, lower costs or maximize revenues. When two parties negotiate, they both seek to maximize their own benefit, so a negotiation process can either result in a better or worse position for the company.

In this particular case, Marvin negotiated with his landlord in order to lease another floor of the building at a lower than market cost which benefits the financial situation of the restaurant. He did a good job and was a good negotiator since his company will benefit from this negotiation process.
