Answer:C. Option A is the better choice of the two given any positive rate of return.

Explanation:An investment is an asset bought in order to gain or generate returns from it over time. Any investment is expected to give higher returns when compared to the initial money put into the business.

The rate of return of an investment is the rate at which the investment generates revenue or net income,

Option A is better compared to option B as it gives a higher rate of income in the first initial payment,this higher first payment will enable the investor to utilize the money for something tangible compared with Option B which gives $4000 first net income.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The total cost will be "$1,279,286.25".

Explanation:

The total cost at 125000 Km will be:

=125000\times  12.520

=1,565,000 ($)

The total cost at 90000 Km will be:

=90000\times 16.5

=1,485,000 ($)

The variable cost will be:

=\frac{(1,565,000 - 1,485,000)}{(125000 -90000) }

=2.28571 ($)

Now,

Fixed cost = Total \ cost -variable \ c ost

                  = 1,565,000 - 125000\times 2.28571

                  = 1,279,286.25 ($)

E25-18 Making outsourcing decisions Cool Systems manufactures an optical switch that it uses in its final product. The switch ha
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

From a cost savings perspective the switch should be made in-house

Explanation:

In deciding whether Cool Systems should make or buy the switch , we calculate the relevant applicable to  both situations,then compare t see which option saves costs.

The cost of making the switch is calculated thus:

Direct materials per unit      $5

Direct labor                           $3

Variable overhead                <u>$6</u>

Total relevant cost               <u> $14</u>    

The cost of purchasing the switch from another supplier is $15

From the above analysis, it is preferable to make the switch in-house as that option saves $1($15-$14) per switch.

However, it might be that we need to look beyond cost savings sometimes,purchasing the switch from another supplier might be viable if the quality of the outside switch is better or that the outside supplier can deliver in timely fashion.
