Answer:

The decision is incorrect. It is cheaper to make in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Make in house:

Direct materials and direct labor 10

Variable factory overhead 6

Fixed factory overhead 4

The company recently decided to buy 10,000 fishing reels from another manufacturer for $18

We need to  calculate the unitary variable cost of production. Fixed costs are unavoidable, therefore they shouldn't be taken into account.

Variable cost= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead

Variable cost= 10 + 6= $16

The decision is incorrect. It is cheaper to make in house.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a) Product G should be produced and sold

b) Net financial advantage      $80

Explanation:

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  </em>

                                                                                            $

Revenue after split-off point  

($9×  40 litres)                                                                 360

Revenue at the slit of point  

($4 ×   40)                                                                        <u> (160)</u>

Additional income from further processing                  200

Further processing cost ($3× 40)                                  <u>(120)</u>

Incremental income from further processing                <u> 80</u>

Incremental income from further processing = $80

a) The product F should be processed further and sold as product G. Doing so would increase the net income by $80.

b) Net advantage                                               $80

An x-ray machine at a dental offi ce is MACRS 5-year property. The x-ray machine costs $6,000 and has an expected useful life of
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is $2,637.31.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Cost of machine = $6,000

According to MACRs table depreciation for first 3 years are as follows:

Depreciation for 1st year = 20%, for 2nd year = 32% and for 3rd year = 19.2%

So, Cost of machine after 1st year = $6,000 - 20% × $6,000 = $6,000 - $1,200

= $4,800

Cost of machine after 2nd year = $4,800 - 32% × $4,800 = $4,800 - $1,536

=  $3,264

Now, Cost of machine after 3rd year = $3,264 - 19.2% × $3,264

= $3,264 - $626.688 = $2,637.312

So, the book value at the end of three years = $2,637.31

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The WACC before bond issuance is 3.9% and the WACC after bond issuance is 3.71%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the WACC before bond issuance , we would have to calculate first the cost of equity  using capital asset pricing model .

So Using CAPM we have Rf + Beta x Market risk premium

= 0.5% + 0.85 * 4%

= 3.9% . cost of equity

Therefore WACC before bond issuance = (Cost of equity x weight of equity + cost of debt (1-tax) x weight of debt)

= 3.9% . WACC before bond issuance will be equal to cost of equity in this case as there is no debt issue.

In order to calculate the WACC after bond issuance  we make the following calculation:

WACC after bond issuance = (Cost of equity x weight of equity + cost of debt (1-tax) x weight of debt)

= (3.9% x 0.9) + (2% x 0.1)

= 3.51% + 0.2%

= 3.71%
