kap26 [50]

Answer:

1. 72000 units.

2. $19.

Explanation:

Solution:

Part 1:

Let's Sort out the data given:

Monthly Cost Fixed = $240,000

Fixed Cost unavoidable = 40% x 240,000

Fixed Cost unavoidable = $96,000

Now,

Avoidable Fixed Cost will be = $240,000 - $96,000

Avoidable Fixed Cost will be = $144,000

It means that, if the industries obtain products from the outside supplier, it will save or avoid fixed cost of $144,000 per month.

Now, we also given that,

Variable Production Cost = $16 per unit

Purchase Price per unit (Outsider) = $18 per unit

Increment in Price per unit = $18 - $16 = $2

Hence,

It will cost the industry an extra of $2 per unit.

Now, we can calculate the required monthly usage at which it will be indifferent between purchasing and making part MR24.

Break Even Monthly Usage = Avoidable Fixed Cost/ Incremental Price per unit.

Break Even Monthly Usage = $144,000/$2

Break Even Monthly Usage = 72000 units.

Hence, Monthly usage at which it will be indifferent between purchasing and making part MR24 = 72000 units.

Part 2:

Monthly usage as given = 48000 units on which it can avoid the fixed cost of $144,000

Avoidable Monthly fixed cost = $144,000

So, now, we can calculate the avoidable fixed cost per unit as well.

Avoidable Fixed Cost Per unit = $144,000/48000

Avoidable Fixed Cost Per unit = $3

We also know,

Variable Production cost per unit = $16

Avoidable Fixed cost per unit = $3

So, we can see the maximum purchase price in order to avoid monthly fixed cost.

Maximum Purchase price per unit = $16 + $3 =$19

It means, $19 is the maximum purchase price, if the industry is approaching the outsider for the monthly usage of 48000 units. It will benefit if the price is less than $19.

wages payable 1,300 credit

--------------------------------

interest expense 200 debit

interest payable 200 credit

--------------------------------

account receivable 2,400 debit

service revenue 2,400 credit

----------------------------------

Explanation:

we recognize the wages expense for the current period and the liability that arise from that.

interest: principal x rate x time

time and rate should be in the same metric so we express the time in portion of a year.

From July 1st to July 31th a month has past so 1/12 of a year:

20,000 x 12% x 1/12 = 200

this will be the accrued interest for the period

we must record service revenue. As it is not collected it goes int oaccount receivable

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The profit motive

Explanation:

Although the <em>profit motive</em> is essential and common among all businesses that exist, it is by nature anti-competitive, meaning it is not a trait used to create substantial competitive advantage. It is a notion that will certainly not attract customers. However, it is always present (and most customers know that), but the profit motive will never be communicated through mrketing activities etc.

A total of $44,000 is invested in two municipal bonds that pay 5.75% and 7.25% simple interest. The investor wants an annual int

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Amount invested at 5.75% = $30,000

Amount invested at 7.25% = $14,000

Explanation:

Let the amount invested

at 5.75% = X

at 7.25% = Y

According to given condition

X + Y = $44,000 ( Eq 1)

and

0.0575X + 0.0725Y = $2,740 ( Eq 2)

By multiplying ( Eq 1) with 0.0575

0.0575X + 0.0575Y = $2,530 ( Eq 3)

By subtracting ( Eq 3) from ( Eq 2)

0.0725Y - 0.0575Y = $2,740 - $2,530

0.015Y = 210

Y = 210 / 0.015

Y = $14,000

X + $14,000 = $44,000

X = $44,000 - $14,000

X = $30,000

Check:

$30,000 x 5.75% + $14,000 x 7.25% = $2,740

$2,740 = $2,740
