Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the nec

essary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $36 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:
Per Unit 20,000 Units per Year Direct materials $ 13 $ 260,000 Direct labor 11 220,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 4 80,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 6 * 120,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 9 180,000 Total cost $ 43 $ 860,000 *One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).

Required:

1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 20,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $200,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 20,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

Is god real yes or no answer
dem82 [27]
There is no factual evidence to either. Modern Christianity is based off of faith, you gotta believe he’s real. And in most other religions their god/gods are real. The only “proof” is either miracles or visions. Which in most cases can’t always be proven true. I say yes, but only because I believe he is.

In this module, we say a "good" money burn means you have spent money wisely. A "bad" money burn means you have spent money you
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

D. You shop around and buy a pair of the exact same designer jeans at a thrift shop, and they cost virtually nothing.

Explanation:

Good money burn refers to the effective use of money, rather than just spending it on some useless stuff.

Here in the given instance the following is the explanation for the given instance:

Option A states that the jeans is just bought for completing the desire, it does not have any difference in the product even if the product can be bought on sale after some days.

Option B is still better than the first day.

Further in option c buying the jeans without any label might not be a good decision as it might have poor quality.

Option D is the best as it is the same jeans but at the least possible cost.

Which business model has traditionally been used by magazines
Andrej [43]
According to Quora dot com, US magazines are viewed as historically dependent on advertising revenue hence why subscriptions to magazines are historically very low as advertising is used to subsidise cover price or subscription cost.

With the general collapse of print publications in the US, particularly led by the drying up of physical newsstand presence, magazines have a harder time getting into consumer's hands. This means that advertisers are less likely to spend in a publication (readership decreasing) and then advertising revenues go down, making magazines less and less profitable.

I realize this is quit lengthy so I'd sum it up to saying the business model for magazines has traditionally been the selling of advertising space ... Not sure if this is what you're looking for
