Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $130 and $90, respectively. Each product uses only on

e type of raw materlal that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 102,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $25 $10
Direct labor 22 21
Variable manufacturing overhead 17 7
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 18 20
Variable selling expenses 14 10
Common fixed expenses 17 12
Total cost per unit $113 $80


The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoldable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoldable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

a. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 52,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 52,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $88 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 52,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units?
b. Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 82,000 units of Alpha and 62,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the raw material available for production is limited to 162,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits? Units produced for Alpha? Units produced for Beta?
c. Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 82,000 units of Alpha and 62,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the raw material available for production is limited to 162,000 pounds. What total contribution margin will it earn?
d. Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 82,000 units of Alpha and 62,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the raw material available for production is limited to 162,000 pounds. If Cane uses its 162,000 pounds of raw materials, up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

a. 0.8

b. 5

c. 0.9 and 10

Explanation:

a. The formula to compute the MPC is shown below:

= (Change in consumption) ÷ (Change in investment income)

= $16 billion ÷ $20 billion

= 0.8

b. The formula to compute the size of the multiplier is shown below:

= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)

= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.8)

= 1 ÷ 0.2

= 5

c. If the change of the consumption increases, then the MPC would be

= (Change in consumption) ÷ (Change in investment income)

= $18 billion ÷ $20 billion

= 0.9

And, the size of the multiplier would be

= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.9)

= 1 ÷ 0.1

= 10

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a. a flood that destroys a great deal of the corn crop?

The flood decreases the supply of corn and shifts the supply curve to the left which increases the price and decreases quantity in the market.

b. a rise in the price of wheat (a substitute for corn)?

Substitute goods are purchased in substitution as a rise in the price of one increases the demand for other and vice verse.

The rise in price of wheat increases the demand for the corn which shifts the demand curve to the right and increases both price and quantity.

c. a change in consumer tastes away from corn dogs toward hot dogs?

The change in tastes decreases demand which shifts demand to the left and decreases price and quantity both.

d. an increase in the number of demanders in the corn market?

The increase in buyer increases demand and both price and quantity increase as demand curve shifts to the right.
