Parton Company, a manufacturer of snowmobiles, is operating at 80% of plant capacity. Parton's plant manager is considering maki

ng the headlights now being purchased from an outside supplier for $12.80 each. The Parton plant has idle equipment that could be used to manufacture the headlights. The design engineer estimates that each headlight requires $4.45 of direct materials, $3.45 of direct labor, and $6.45 of manufacturing overhead. Forty percent of the manufacturing overhead is a fixed cost that would be unaffected by this decision. A decision by Parton Company to manufacture the headlights should result in a net gain (loss) for each headlight of: (CMA adapted)
a) $1.03.
b) $(1.55).
c) $2.32.
d) $3.56.

Answer:

The answer is: a

Explanation:

The Parton Company has a 'make or buy' decision. This decision involves analysing the incremental costs associated with each option. Incremental costs are costs incurred as a result of producing one more unit of a product. If the excess capacity can be utilised to produce the headlights at a lower cost than the cost of acquiring the headlights from an external supplier, then the company should produce the headlights.  

The Parton Company incurs $12.80 per headlight purchased from the external supplier. Added to this cost, are the existing costs of operating below plant capacity. If making the headlights in the manufacturing plant yields a positive contribution to fixed costs, then the Parton company should produce the headlights in the manufacturing plant.

By producing the headlights, the Parton company gains a contribution to fixed costs of $1.03 per headlight.

Foregone purchase costs from supplier:                          $12.80

Incurred costs (directly) from production:                        ($11.77)

Direct materials                                                                     ($4.45)

Direct Labour                                                                         ($3.45)

Manufacturing Overheads: $(6.45*0.6)                               <u>($3.87)</u>

Net gain per headlight                                                           <u> </u><u>$1.03</u>

Many socialist nations in Europe are forced to use the "value-added" tax concept to raise money that is desperately needed to su
enot [183]

Answer:

paid by consumers

Explanation:

Value added tax is a small sum of money that is added on top of the price of a service. For example, I go to a grocery to buy Washing powder which costs me lets say 10 bucks. I will have to pay VAT on the 10 bucks. the vat is a small percent added on the price so here, assuming the VAT is 10%, I will have to pay 10% of 10 bucks PLUS the original 10 bucks so in total it will be 11 bucks.

Students will write a thorough explanation of the impact of price ceilings would have on the field of medicine in the United Sta
melisa1 [442]

Answer: Price ceilings are beneficial to society, and are often necessary, in that they make sure that essential goods are financially accessible to the average person, at least in the short run. By lowering costs, price ceilings also have the beneficial effect of helping to stimulate demand, which can contribute to the health of an economy.

However, there can also be downsides to price ceilings. While they stimulate demand, price ceilings can also cause shortages. Where the ceiling is set, there is more demand than at the equilibrium price. This means that the amount of the good or service supplied is less than the quantity demanded.

For example: in agriculture, medicine, and education, many governments set maximum prices to make the needed goods or services more affordable. Producers may respond to such an economic situation by rationing supplies, decreasing production levels or lowering the quality of production, making the consumer pay extra for otherwise free elements of the good (features, options, etc.), and more.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

C. No, it will increase cost by $100.

Explanation:

Z Corp. can make three individual deliveries to three different customers at a cost of $500 each

Given that:

Cost of shipment = $1300

Cost of each delivery = $500

Stop of charge = $100 per stop

Total cost if for individual delivery to three different customers = 3($500) = $1500

Since they are three different customers, the total stop charge = 3($100)

cost for consolidating them into one shipment= $1300 + 3($100) = $1300 + $300 = $1600

Therefore there is an increase in cost of $1600 - $1500 = $100

5. Use excel?s irr function for this problem. Rancho cucamonga has a 6% cost of capital. The firm has an investment opportunity
BlackZzzverrR [31]

IRR function for this problem is 7. 7% and invest in the project

<h3>What is IRR function?</h3>

The Excel IRR function returns the internal rate of return (IRR) for a sequence of cash flows that occur at regular intervals. Determine the internal rate of return. Return was calculated as a percentage. =IRR (values, [guess])

IRR is the interest rate at which the sum of all cash flows equals zero, thus it is useful for comparing one investment to another. In the preceding example, if we substitute 8% with 13.92%, the NPV becomes 0, and your IRR becomes zero. As a result, IRR is defined as the discount rate at which a project's NPV becomes zero.
