Answer:

Option 2 Reducing its costs

Explanation:

The reason is that supply chain management does not brings any changes in the product features hence their is no differentiation and product enhancement. Furthermore the cusotmer is not paid anything that will result in customer locking. And also that the competition on prices to alter the customer behavior in the mature market is very common. So the company is trying to control its costs so that it can offer its products at a far much lower costs in the market. The competitve advantage will arise because of cost control so the option 2 is correct.

Why might one project have the highest pw while a different project has the largest irr? explain?
Hunter-Best [27]
<span>The difference may lie in the project life, sometimes referenced as the planning horizon. A project may have a large internal rate of return (irr), but a very short project life. A second project might have a lower irr, but a much longer life. In that case, the second project will return less per year, but will provide a return for many more years, resulting in a higher pw.</span>

wel

Answer:

Standard rate per direct labor hour is $27.1

Explanation:

Standard rate per direct labor hour includes the hourly pay rate, Payroll taxes and fringe benefits. For Theresa Corporation,

We have given that

Basic direct labor rate is $21.00 per hour

Payroll Taxes is 10% of basic direct labor rate i.e. 10% of $21.00 = $2.10 per hour

Fringe Benefits is $4.00 per hour.

So Standard rate per direct labor hour = $21.00 + $2.10 + $4.00 = $27.1

NeX [460]

Answer:

1. Cutting Department = $8.99 per machine hour and Finishing Department = $11.53 per direct labor hour.

2. The  total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203 is $2,058.46.

3. Yes. Plant wide pre-determined overhead rate does not consider the cost driver in the departments involved.

Explanation:

<em>Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity</em>

Cutting Department = $390,000 / 43,400

                                 = $8.99 per machine hour

Finishing Department = $496,000 / 43,000

                                    = $11.53 per direct labor hour

<u>Total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203.</u>

Direct materials

Cutting Department                             $ 745.00

Finishing Department                          $ 370 .00

Direct labor costs

Cutting Department                              $ 43.00

Finishing Department                          $ 210.00

Variable manufacturing overhead

Cutting Department ($2.00 × 43)         $86.00

Finishing Department ($2.00 × 4)          $8.00

Variable manufacturing overhead

Cutting Department ($3.75 × 3)              $11.25

Finishing Department ($3.75 × 13)        $48.75

Fixed manufacturing overhead

Cutting Department ($8.99 × 43)        $386.57

Finishing Department ($11.53 × 13)       $149.89

Greek Route costs = -50,000, period 2 revenues = 140,000

Sumerian Route costs = -125,000, period 3 revenues = 385,000

discount rate = 5%

a) African route:

NPV = -75,000 + 215,000/1.05 = 129,762

B/C ratio = 215/75 = 2.87

Payback = 1 period

IRR = 187%

Greek route:

NPV = -50,000 + 140,000/1.05² = 76,984

B/C ratio = 140/50 = 2.8

Payback = 2 periods

IRR = 67%

Sumerian route

NPV = -125,000 + 385,000/1.05³ = 332,577

B/C ratio = 385/125 = 3.08

Payback = 3 periods

IRR = 45%

b) rank according to:

NPV = Sumerian route, African route, Greek route

B/C ratio = Sumerian route, African route, Greek route

Payback = African route, Greek route, Sumerian route

IRR = African route, Greek route, Sumerian route

c) if the family had unlimited resources, they should invest in the 3 routes since all their NPVs are positive.

d) African and Greek routes since they yield the highest gains (IRR).
