Ahrends Corporation makes 70,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this

part is computed as follows: Direct materials $ 17.80 Direct labor 19.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.10 Unit product cost $ 54.90 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $48.50 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $273,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $8.20 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products. How much of the unit product cost of $54.90 is relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy the part?

Proposal #2 would establish local collection centers throughout the region to decrease the time it takes to convert credit payme
mezya [45]

Answer: a. $120,000

b. $6,000

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.

If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.

That amount would be,

= $60,000 * 2

= $120,000

b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.

The amount saved therefore is,

= 120,000 * 5%

= $6,000

By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.

c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.

As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.

GDP excludes the value of goods produced at home. many items are counted twice or more in the intermediate stages of production.
Softa [21]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

GDP or gross domestic product value is a measure of the total value of all products and services produced within the boundaries of a country in a given time. It factors all products, regardless of who manufactures them, whether foreigners or locals, men or women. To avoid double-counting, GDP considers finished products only.

In calculating GDP, economists will deduct the cost of imports. The reason is that imports are produced in foreign countries. The value of GDP indicates whether the economy is expanding or contracting. An increase in GDP shows economic growth in the country. An increase in capital goods, human capital, labor force, technology,  contribute to economic growth.

max2010maxim [7]
Given:
salary: <span>$10.50 an hour
25 hours a week

expenses:
Cellphone bill: $65/month
car insurance: $1,200/yr
*20% taxes.

There is no specific question but I will solve for Marcus net earnings for the year.

25 hours/week * 52 weeks/yr = 1,300 hours/year

Wages: 10.50 per hour * 1,300 hours/year = $13,650 Gross salary per year
Taxes: 13,650 * 20% = 2,730 

13,650 - 2,730 = 10,920 net salary for the year

Cell phone bill: 65 per month * 12 months = 780

Net salary:         10,920
Cell phone bill       (780)
Car insurance: <u>    (1,200)</u>
Net Income:       8,940 per annum.
