A manager is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part or to have it produced internally. Internal production could us

e either of two processes. One would entail a variable cost of $17 per unit and an annual fixed cost of $200,000; the other would entail a variable cost of $14 per unit and an annual fixed cost of $240,000. Three vendors are willing to provide the part. Vendor A has a price of $20 per unit for any volume up to its maximum capacity of 30,000 units. Vendor B has a price of $22 per unit for demand less than 1,000 units, and $18 per unit for larger quantities. Vendor C offers a price of $21 per unit for the first 1,000 units, and $19 per unit for additional units. a. If the manager anticipates an annual volume of 10,000 units, which alternative would be best from a cost standpoint? For 20,000 units, which alternative would be best?

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.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Std rate per hour: 11.00    

Std hours = 1000*2 =2000    

Actual hours = 1850      

Actual rate = 11.80

   

Labor cost variance = Std cost - Actual cost    

Labor cost variance  = (2000*11) - (1850*11.80)

Labor cost variance = 170 Unfavorable

Labor rate variance = Actual hrs (Std rate - Actual rate)  

Labor rate variance = 1850 *(11-11.80)

Labor rate variance = 1480 Unfavorable

Labor qty variance = Std rate (Std hrs-Actual hrs)  

Labor qty variance = 11 (2000-1850)

Labor qty variance = 1650 Favorable.

Schach [20]

Answer:

14.84%

Explanation:

Effective annual return (EAR) = (1 + ( r / m) ^m -1

APR = m (( 1 + EAR) ^( 1/m) - 1)

where m = 365 since it is compounded daily

APR = 365 (( 1 + 0.16) ^( 1/365) - 1) = 14.84%

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Total value added to the GDP is $500,000.

Explanation:

Given that,

Automobile factory uses parts that are purchased from foreign countries = $100,000

Total cars produce = 30

Price of each car = $20,000

Total cars sold = 20

Left in inventory = 10

Therefore,

Addition to GDP:

= Total value of car produced - Imports(parts purchased from foreign countries)

= (Selling price of each car × Total cars produced) - $100,000

= ($20,000 × 30) - $100,000

= $600,000 - $100,000

= $500,000

Hence, total value added to the GDP is $500,000.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "Editing".

Explanation:

  • Editing seems to be the process where even the letter being written is reconstructed or reconfigured to more efficiently express the letter.
  • Arranging, modifying, as well as assembling a recorded, written, or video content for official completion, commonly by such an individual except for the producer of the content (considered as an editor).

The other options in question aren't relevant to the particular circumstance. So the option available here is just the right one.
