Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Supplier's quotation (2,400 x $6.25)                     150,000

Less: Relevant cost of production:

Direct material (2,400 x $31)                 74,400

Direct labour (2,400 x $18)                    43,200

Variable overhead (2,400 x $9)             <u>21,600</u>       <u>139,200</u>

Savings                                                                       <u> 10,800</u>

The parts should be produced in-house since the relevant cost of production is lower than supplier's quotation.

 Explanation:

In this case, we need to compare supplier's quotation to the relevant cost of production. The price of $6.25 above was computed by dividing the total price charged by the supplier by the number of parts. Moreso, the relevant cost of production is obtained by the aggregate of direct material, direct labour and variable overhead.

Assume you had determined that John Firestone, vice president of Pierce Chemicals, was a prospect for your paper and metal conta
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

1. Honesty.

State the purpose of your call to the secretary and sell your product. For instance, " Hello, my name is Mr. Petal and I represent a fast rising Paper and Metal Container company. After researching about your company, I felt it most expedient to get in touch with Mr. Firestone as I believe this is business he will be interested in. We offer perks that are unmatched in the industry".

2. Persistence.

You can be persistent on the phone if you detect deceit in the secretary's tone.

For instance,

" Having been in the chemical industry myself, I know such an opportunity does not come often and I really do guarantee that we give the best benefits in the industry. If you can, just let me talk to Mr. Firestone, I promise that neither of you will regret it".

If it still doesn't work, ask for a convenient time you can call back.

Year                                                                           Annual Amortization

2020    88,560 * 5/24                                                      $‭18,450‬

2021      88,560 * 5/24                                                     $‭18,450‬

2022      88,560 * 5/24                                                    $‭18,450‬

2023      88,560 * 4/24                                                    $‭14,760‬

2024      88,560 * 3/24                                                    $‭11,070‬

2025     88,560 * 2/24                                                     $‭7,380‬

Total                                                                                 $88,560

Every year the projected benefit is amortized by the number of employees still working divided by the total number of years for all the employees.
