Answer:

Tanaka Systems should buy the switch from outside supplier, because the Unitary Product Cost will be decreased.

Explanation:

The current manufacturing product cost of Tanaka’s switch are made by the sum of Direct Materials ($9,00) + Direct Labor ($2,50) + Variable overhead ($11,00) + Fixed overhead ($14,00), which totals $36,50.

If Tanaka Systems buy the switch from the outside supplier instead of producing it, the costs with Direct Materials, Direct Labor and Variable Overhead will not be necessary anymore because these costs vary according to the production level. In this case, the only cost to remain is Fixed Overhead as none of the fixed costs are avoidable. So, the new unitary product cost will be made by the sum of Switch Cost from supplier ($19,25) + Fixed Overhead ($14,00), which totals $33,50.

arsen [322]

Answer:

This will create shortage and people will sell milk in black market at higher price.

Explanation:

Wildfires and mudslides have closed the highways. This created greater demand and short supply.  

The equilibrium price increased to $7.  

But the government imposed a price ceiling of $4.  

At this binding price ceiling, the quantity demanded is more than quantity supplied.  

This high demand would cause the suppliers to sell milk in the black market at a higher price.
