Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,500 light fixtures (units) at $5 per unit. Minor currently produces a

nd sells 7,500 units at $6.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $4.50 per unit, which includes $3.00 variable cost and $1.50 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,000 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order?

The company should accept the special order. This is the correct answer.

 

 

EXPLANATION

 

To determine whether to accept the offer or not, we first need to evaluate the profit the new offer brings. And the general rule is, profit = revenue – cost

 

If the new order is accepted, the revenue will increase by $5 x 2500 = $12,000.  

On the other hand, the cost of the current production and the new offer will be the same, $4.5, which consists of $1.5 fixed cost and $3 variable cost. Thus, the fixed cost will increase by $1000 to purchase the machine and the variable cost will increase by $3 x 2500 = $7000.

As a result, the overall profit will increase by $4000 from $12000 -$1000 - $7000.  

 

This is true if we assume that the company uses the whole 25% capacity (2500 units) left even if the new order is only for 1500 units. Therefore, the company should accept the new and special order.

The company should accept the special order because it will get an additional profit of $4,000 ($12,500 - $7,500 - $1,000) for the special order. This additional profit amount can be acquired by separating the effect from the special order on each cost and sales of the company's business. The sales should increase by $12,500 ($5 x 2500 unit) amount if the job is taken and the variable cost should increase by $7,500 ($3 x 2500 unit). Lastly, the fixed cost should increase by $1,000 (the new machine).

DaniilM [7]

Answer: is highly dependent upon a company's tax rate.

Explanation:

The after-tax cost of debt is defined as the net cost of debt that is determined by adjusting the gross cost of debt incurred for its tax benefits. The after-tax cost of debt

equals the pre-tax cost of debt which is then multiplied by (1 – tax rate).

The after-tax cost of debt is the cost of debt which is included while calculating the weighted average cost of capital and it has a greater effect on the cost of capital of a firm when there's an increase in the debt-equity ratio.

Other things the same, if prices fell when firms and workers were expecting them to rise, then a. employment and production woul
Trava [24]

Answer:

d. employment and production would fall.

Explanation:

Economic agents have expectations about the parameters of an economy, such as price, inflation, unemployment rate, etc. If the price falls while economic agents expect the opposite, in the short run production and employment tend to increase. This is because investment decisions had already been made. However, in the medium and long term, economic agents realize that price expectations have not been confirmed and market parameters adjust. Thus, in the face of falling prices, there will be less demand. With lower demand, there will be a decrease in production and thus the employment rate decreases.
