Mashutka [201]

Answer:

It is cheaper to buy the component. At this level of production by $40,750.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 43,000 units

Variable costs are $2.95 per unit

Avoidable Fixed costs= $73,000 per year

Unavoidable fixed costs= $77,500 per year.

The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit.

We need to calculate the cost of producing and buying and choose the best option.

Production:

Total cost= 43,000*2.95 + 73,000= $199,850

Buy:

Total cost= 43,000*3.7= $159,100

It is cheaper to buy the component. At this level of production by $40,750.

. Shellbridge Corporation common stock has a par value of $25 and recently paid a dividend of $3.16 per share. The firm's divide

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Intrinsic value: $ 45.19290274

The stock is undervalued as is selling for less.

Explanation:

We use the gordon model to solve for the intrinsic value of the share.

$\frac{divends_1}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value$

we must solve for the grow rate like it was an interest rate:

grow rate:

$2.00 \times (1+g)^{10} = 3.16\\\sqrt[10]{\frac{3.16}{2.00}} -1 = g$

g = 0.046804808

dividends one year from now:

3.16 x (1 + 0.046804808) = 3.307903193

Now we calculate the instrinsic value:

$\frac{3.307903193}{0.10 - 0.046804808} = Intrinsic \: Value$

Value: $ 45.19290274

The stock is undervalued as is selling for less.

A(n)___standard is the quantity of material required if the process is 100fficient without any loss or waste.

vodomira [7]

A practical standard is the quantity of material required if the process is 100fficient without any loss or waste.

Sensible requirements are the requirements that are set for everyday working conditions. They account for reasonable and unavoidable wastages which are part and parcel of the normal manufacturing manner. Practical standards remember the effect that factors along with machine preservation and maintenance time, everyday employee breaks, etc.

Perfect requirements aren't practical standards, apart from in the very quick run, and are consequently of little use for control wherein their use will be very demotivating for employees. Achievable standards constitute what will be done with a reasonable degree of effort below ordinary working situations.

Ideal preferred costs, those preferred expenses constitute the best overall performance. They assume 100% efficiency, that there are no losses or idle time. They constitute the minimal charges that are feasible below the maximum efficient running situations.
