Gelb Company currently manufactures 53,500 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $

2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $64,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 53,500 units and buying 53,500 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the total incremental cost is shown below;

For making 53,500 units

<u>Particulars Relevant     Relevant            Total </u>

<u>                        Per Unit    Fixed Costs        Relevant Costs </u>

Variable Cost

Per Unit           $2.95                          $157,825

                                                                    (53,500 units × $2.95)

Fixed

Manufacturing

Costs                        $67,000           $67,000

Total Incremental Costs to Make  $224,825

For making 53,500 units

<u>Particulars Relevant     Relevant            Total </u>

<u>                        Per Unit    Fixed Costs        Relevant Costs </u>

Purchase

Price

Per Unit        $3.50                                  $187,250

                                                                    (53,500 units × $3.50)

Total Incremental Cost to Buy   $187,250

The company should buy the component from the outside supplier as it saves the cost for ($224,825 - $187,250) = $37,575 plus the buying cost is less than the making cost

What are the opportunity costs of going to the gym for a workout rather than studying for an economics test?
NARA [144]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the value of the forfeited benefits as a result of making a decision in a certain way. Decision making involves choosing one item over others. The cost or value of the option not chosen is the opportunity cost. The value of the forfeited option is the opportunity cost.

In choosing to go to the gym, the forgone activity is studying for the economic exam. The benefits associated with studying for the economic test is the opportunity cost. The value attached to the economic test, such as good grades, passing the test,  or any reward arising from studying for the test, is the forfeited benefit and hence the opportunity cost.

ladessa [460]

The gross margin ratio is a percentage resulting from dividing the amount of a company's gross profit by the amount of its net sales. In this case it would be 118,350/466,300 = 25.38%

"The Federal Reserve raises the reserve requirement from 7 percent to 8 percent. Consequently banks must set aside more money an
joja [24]

Answer: a. Inflation

Explanation:

Inflation refers to the general rise in prices of items in an economy in a certain period of time. Inflation essentially erodes the value of the domestic currency of the economy in question.

Central Banks like the Fed can use Monetary policy to influence inflation. In this case they reduced the amount of money in the economy by reducing bank loans. This will ensure that people cannot spend too much which would increase demand and therefore increase prices.

By doing this, they have limited the likelihood of inflation.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

A.$2.99

B.$1.15

Explanation:

Frantic Fast Foods

A.Computation of the earnings per share for the year 20X

Using this formula

Earnings per Share=Earnings after Taxes/Shares Outstanding

Let plug in the formula

900,000/301,000

=$2.99

The earnings per share for 20X1 will be $2.99

B. Computation of the earnings per share for the year 201X

Earnings after Taxes= 301,000 * 1.28 = 385,280

Shares Outstanding=301,000 + 32,000 = 333,000

Hence,

Earnings after Taxes/Shares Outstanding

385,280 / 333,000 = $1.15

Therefore the earnings per share for 20X1 will

be $1.15 .

A product sells for $5, and has unit variable costs of $3. This product accounts for $20,000 in annual sales, out of the firm's
Ronch [10]

Answer:

0.1333

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price = $5

Variable cost = $3

Annual sales = $20,000

Total sales = $60,000

Contribution margin:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $5 - $3

= $2

Number of units sold:

= Annual sales ÷ Selling price

= $20,000 ÷ $5

= 4,000 units

Total contribution sales:

= Number of units sold × Contribution margin per unit

= 4,000 units × $2

= $8,000

Weighted contribution:

= Total contribution sales ÷ Total sales

= $8,000 ÷ $60,000

= 0.1333
