Diamond Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $59 per unit. The

company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 40% of direct labor cost. The fully absorbed unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $35.00
Direct labor 18.00
Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 7.20
Total cost per unit $60.20

If Diamond Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 15% of the direct labor costs.
(a) Prepare a differential analysis dated February 24 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case.
(b) On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to make the carrying cases or continue buying them? Explain.

Answer:

<u>Part(a) Differential analysis as at February 24</u>

Make (Alternative 1) :

Direct Materials                             $35.00

Direct labor                                    $18.00

Variable Overheads                      $2.70

Fixed Overheads                           $0.00

Total Make Costs                         $55.70

Buy (Alternative 2) :

Total Purchase Cost                    $59.00

<u>(b) On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to make the carrying cases or continue buying them? </u>

It is clear that from comparison of the cost of Purchase and the Cost of Making the Carrying Cases, the Cost of Making the Carrying Cases is lower than the Cost of Purchasing the Cases by $3.30

It is thus advisable to make carrying cases instead of buying them

Explanation:

Total Make Costs;

The Factory fixed overheads are irrelevant to this decision hence they were ignored in the make cost calculations.

Answer:

back translation

Explanation:

When a company uses back translation, it will first translate its product literature to French, and then it will hire a French translator to translate it back from French to English to make sure that the words make sense. This way the company makes sure that whatever was translated in the first makes actual sense.

For example, if you use the google translator, you will get a literal word by word translation of whatever you want to say in another language, but it doesn't mean other people will understand those words in the same way as originally wrote them. This can also happen to companies, specially when dealing with extremely different languages like Chinese where even huge corporations like Pepsi made terrible translation mistakes (e.g. Seven Up meant useless frog XXX), that is why Coke is simply Coke or Coca Cola in other languages.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The answer is Late-mover disadvantages

Explanation:

A late mover is a company that enters a business some time after the business pioneers and early followers.

From the question above, Galaxy Ventures is a late mover in the low-cost housing business. They were at a huge disadvantage, and this includes:

  • First of all, lack of customer loyalty and substantial dividends (from the question).
  • The pioneers and early followers can set the business standards which may be difficult for a late mover to follow.
  • The pioneer can easily create entry barriers that a late-mover might find difficult to break.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

D. Cost of Goods Sold

Explanation:

The cost of goods sold or simply COGS is a numerical representation of the direct expenses incurred in manufacturing products sold to customers in a period. It is the aggregate of direct labor, direct materials, and overheads used in the production process. COGS apply to manufacturing firms and companies that handle physical goods.

The COGS is deducted from the sales revenue to give the gross profit. Calculating the COGS involves adding the purchases or goods manufactured to the beginning inventory. Ending inventory is deducted from the total to provide the COGS.  As per the formula, the COGS does not apply to the service industry.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

-$8,705

Explanation:

The computation of the Net present value is shown below

= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor + salvage value - initial investment

where,

The Initial investment is $110,000

All yearly cash flows would be

= Annual cost savings × PVIFA for 4 years at 12%

= $30,000 × 3.0373

= $91,119

Refer to the PVIFA table

And, the salvage value would be

= Salvage value × pvif for 4 years at 12%

= $16,000 × 0.636

= $10,176

The discount factor should be computed by

= 1 ÷ (1 + rate) ^ years

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $91,119 + $10,176 - $110,000

= -$8,705
