Answer:

higher

lower

Explanation:

The easier it is to enter a market the higher the threat of new competitors and the more difficult it is to enter a market, the lower the threat of new competitors.

For example, it is pretty easy to set up a lemonade stand as the cost of doing so is quite low. So, it is easier for anyone to decide to set up a lemonade stand. So, we can say it is easy to enter the lemonade market and the threat of new competitors is high.

On the other hand, a research lab that produces medicine is pretty difficult to enter. the cost of setting up a lab is high, in addition one has to be approved by the government. so, it is difficult to enter this market and the threat of new competitors is low.

Month Maintenance Machine Health Number of Shipping Units
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1. Variable cost = Shipping costs

Fixed cost = Health Insurance

Mixed cost = Maintenance costs

Shipping costs are variable because a unit shipped costs $3.60. The total shipping cost for each month varies according to the units shipped in the month.

Health Insurance costs are fixed as there is no change in cost notwithstanding the number of employees in each month.  The total health insurance cost remains the same every month.

Maintenance costs are mixed for each month, as there is a fixed element and a variable element.

2. Cost function for each cost:

Maintenance = $4,200 + $2.10 per machine hour

Health Insurance = $8,600

Shipping cost = $3.60 per unit

3. Cost function = $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

where m = machine hours

and s =  units shipped

4. The total operating cost for the month

= $46,040

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Month     Maintenance Machine  Health   Number of  Shipping     Units

                     costs        Hours  Insurance  Employees   Costs    Shipped

January          4500       165         8600            68            25778       7160

February        4452       120         8600            75           29664      8240

March            4600       230        8600            92            28674      7965

April               4850        318        8600           105           23058      8405

May                5166       460        8600            89            21294       5915

June              4760       280        8600            87            33282      9245

July                4910       340        8600            93             31428      8730

August         4960       360        8600            88            30924       8415

September  5070       420         8600            95             25110     6975

October      5250       495         8600           102           25866      7185

November   5271        510         8600            97             20124    5590

December  4760       275         8600            94            34596     9610

Cost Function for each cost:

Maintenance cost:

                     Machine Cost

                        Hours

November         510    5271

February           120    4452

Difference       390      819

Variable cost = $2.10 (819/390)

Fixed cost = $4,200 ($5,271 - ($2.10*510))  

Health Insurance:

Fixed cost = $8,600

Shipping cost:

Variable cost = $3.60 per unit

Cost function = $4,200 + $2.10m + $8,600 + $3.60s

= $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

February cost = $12,800 + $2.1(120) + $3.6(8240)

= $12,800 + $252 + $29,664

= $42,716

IF:

Machine hours = 400

Employees = 80

Shipped units = 9,000

The total operating cost for the month will be:

Cost function = $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

= $12,800 + ($2.1 * 400) + ($3.6 * 9,000)

= $12,800 + $840 + $32,400

= $46,040

Gilberto Company currently manufactures 90,000 units per year of one of its crucial parts. Variable costs are $3.20 per unit, fi
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Part 1

total incremental cost of making 90,000 units =  $388,000

total incremental cost of buying 90,000 units = $396,000

Part 2

There is a cost advantage of $8,000 of making than buying, therefore  the company should continue to manufacture the part.

Explanation:

total incremental cost of making 90,000 units

Variable costs are ($3.20 x 90,000 units)    $288,000

Fixed Costs                                                      $100,000

Total                                                                 $388,000

total incremental cost of buying 90,000 units

Purchase Price ($4.40 x 90,000 units)          $396,000

Total                                                                 $396,000

Decision :

There is a cost advantage of $8,000 of making than buying, therefore  the company should continue to manufacture the part.
