Answer:
Start-up cost; variable cost
Explanation:
Start-up cost is the cost incurred in developing a new product. It is a one time cost that is incurred only at the time of creating something new. Start-up cost includes borrowing cost, research and development cost and expenses incurred on technology.
Variable costs change with the change in units of output produced. Cost of chemicals depend on the amount of drugs produced. So, research and development cost is start-up cost and cost of chemical is variable cost.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of operating profit is shown below:-
Profit per unit = Purchase price from outside per unit + variable cost of production internally
= $15 - $7
= $8
Total increment in operating profit = Profit per unit × Total number of units
= $8 × 24,000
= $192,000
b. Minimum transfer price = Variable cost = $7 (because polk has overcapacity and there is no change in fixed cost and polk minimum has to recover its variable production cost)
c. Maximum transfer price = purchase cost from outside supplier = $15 (because if the internal transfer piece is more than $15 Bishop will lose so he prefers to buy from outside and the company as a whole will lose $192,000 in incremental operating profit
Answer:
b. just-in-time inventory management
Explanation:
Just in Time (JIT) inventory relates to an inventory control program with the goal of making inventory conveniently able to meet demand, just not to the extent of overload where you have to store extra items. JIT inventory has been used to better cut costs, open up storage space, and reduce error levels.
Answer to this question is all of above. D.
