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: c. Demand decreases and supply decreases.
Explanation:
When demand for tablets decrease, the demand curve shifts to the right. The price and quantity declines. At the same time, when supply also falls, the supply curve shifts to the left leading to an increase in price and a fall in quantity.
Since, decrease in demand and supply have opposite effect on the price there is no change in the price of tablets.
Both the forces work towards reducing quantity to quantity will fall unambiguously.
Thus, the correct option is c, Demand decreases and supply decreases.
Answer:
The firm's cost of preferred stock is 9.10%
Explanation:
The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)
The dividend per year is $8
The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)
where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%
adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88
Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100 = 9.10%
