Riggs Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently produces 1,200 sailboats per year, operating at normal capaci

ty, which is about 80 % of full capacity. Riggs purchases sails at $ 250 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $ 100 for direct materials, $ 80 for direct labor, and $ 90 for overhead. The $ 90 overhead includes $ 78,000 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity.
The president of Riggs has come to you for advice. "It would cost me $ 270 to make the sails," she says, "but only $ 250 to buy them. Should I continue buying them, or have I missed something?"

Answer:

It is more convenient to produce the sails in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Riggs purchases sails at $ 250 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $ 100 for direct materials, $ 80 for direct labor, and $ 90 for overhead. The $ 90 overhead includes $ 78,000 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity.

Because there will not be an increase in fixed costs, we will not have them into account.

Variable overhead= 90 - (78,000/1,200)= 25

Unitary variable cost= 100 + 80 + 25= 205

It is more convenient to produce the sails in house.

Which of the following would likely be covered under homeowners insurance but NOT by renter's insurance? A)Your basement floods,
Snowcat [4.5K]
I would say that B), C) and D) would apply as events that would be covered by one's own homeowner insurance for sure. The flooding, as long as it wasn't one's own fault, ie it was the neighbour's fault or it ingressed from outside for example should be covered by the building insurance if it is a strata complex and if one has a deductible for flooding in case of one's fault, that will help too.
