Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $13.00

per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $20.00, including fixed costs, and $11.00, excluding fixed costs. If 32,404 units of the part are normally purchased during the year but could be manufactured using unused capacity, what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it?$226,828 cost increase$421,252 cost decrease$64,808 cost decrease$64,808 cost increase

Answer:

Cost difference= $64,808 cost decrease

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $13

Make in-house:

Variable cost per unit= $11

Fixed cost per unit= $9

Production in units= 32,404

<u>To determine whether it is more convenient to make the part in-house or buy it, we need to take into account only the variable cost per unit. We leave out of the decision the fixed costs because they remain constant in both options.</u>

Buy= 32,404*13= $421,252

Make= 32,404*11= $356,444

Cost difference= $64,808 decrease

At the high and low levels of activity during the month, direct labor hours are 90,000 and 40,000, respectively. The related cos
andre [41]

Answer:

The fixed cost at any level of activity is $48,000 while the variable cost per unit at any level of activity is $1.30

Explanation:

The total cost is a function of the fixed and variable cost. Whilst the fixed cost does not change at a certain range of activities level, the variable cost changes as the level of activities(units produced or sold).

Using the high and low levels of activities given, let the variable cost per unit be v and the fixed cost F

for the high level,

F + 90,000v = 165,000

For the low level

F + 40,000v = 100,00

Solving both equations simultaneously,

50,000v = 65,000

v = $1.30

F + 40,000($1.30) = 100,000

F = 100,000 - 52,000

F = $48,000

Taxicab fares in most cities are regulated. Several years ago taxicab drivers in Boston obtained permission to raise their feres
Scorpion4ik [409]

Solution:

Let's start by assuming that the taxi ride demand is extremely elastic, to the extent that it is vertically sluggish! If the cabbies raise the fair price by 10% from 10.00 per mile to 11.00 per kilometre, the number of riders remains 20.

Total income before fair growth= 20* 10= 200.

Total income following fair growth = 11* 20= 220.

A 10% increase in the fare therefore leads to a 10% increase in the driver's revenue.

Therefore, the assumption in this situation is that the cab drivers think the taxi driving requirement is highly inelastic.

The demand curve facing the drivers of the cab is still inelastic, but not vertically bent.

When the rate increased from 10% to 11, riders declined from 20% to 19%

Total revenue before fair growth is 20* 10= 200

The gap between revenue and fair growth is 19* 11= 209

This means that a realistic 10% raise doesn't result in a 10% boost on income Because the market curve for taxi rides is not 100% inelastic, but rather low inelastic, so that a fair increase (control) allows consumers to lose their incomes.
