Answer:
The president of Riggs has missed something.
She should make the Sail instead of buying because its cheaper to manufacture than purchasing it outside.
Explanation:
<u>Cost of Manufacturing the Sails:</u>
Direct materials $93
Direct Labor $83
Total $173
The president of Riggs has included the $90 overhead based on $78,000 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity in the cost of manufacturing the sail which is incorrect.
Riggs Company is operating at 80 % of full capacity, hence utelizing the 20% excess capacity would not expand its fixed costs.
Thus said the current fixed cost are irrelevent for this decison and would be incurred whether or not Riggs Company utilizes the excess capacity
<u>Conclusion:</u>
The cost of making the sail is $173 which is lower than the cost of buying them at $ 258.
I would advise The president of Riggs to make the sail by utilizing the excess capacity since its cheaper than purchasing it outside.
Answer:
It's best to invest in the second economy
Explanation:
The question does not provide information on the hypothetical economic expectations of the two economies, but as a risk-averse investor, it's a better idea to try to "spread" the risk instead of concentrating it.
In the first economy, conditions might or might not be good. If they are good, returns will be extraordinary because all stocks will provide good returns, but if conditions take a turn for the worse, all stocks prices will fall and the financial consequences will be catastrophic.
In the second economy, results might never be as good as in the first economy, but they also will not ever be as bad. The risk is spread between various stocks, and while some may fall in price, others will rise, and viceversa. For a risk-adverse investor, this a far better option.
