Answer:

2.1276%

Explanation:

\ $Real Rate$  =   \frac{1+nominal}{1+inflation}  - 1

1.056/1.034 -1 = 0,021276595744681  rounding to 4 decimal places:

2.1277%

there is a rate that generate the combine effect of the nominal and the inflation rate

Principal (1+real rate)  = Principal x (1+nominal) / (1+ inflation)

removing the principal for clearence:

1+real rate =(1+nominal) x (1+ inflation)

real rate = (1+nominal) x (1+ inflation)  - 1

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

If the company decides to purchase the parts, its total costs will increase by $3,400, so it should continue to manufacture the part.

Explanation:

current production costs:

direct materials $15,800

Direct labor $6,900

Variable overhead $16,800

Fixed overhead $12,000

total costs = $51,500

if the company can purchase the 100 units form an outside vendor for $47,100 and avoid $4,100, its total costs would be:

purchase price $47,000

fixed overhead = $12,000 - $4,100 = $7,900

total costs = $54,900

If the company decides to purchase the parts, its total costs will increase by $3,400, so it should continue to manufacture the part.
