Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $15.00

per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $22.00, including fixed costs, and $12.00, excluding fixed costs. If 38,423 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?

Answer:

$115,269 decrease

Explanation:

Below are the following information given in the question.

Purchase price = $15

Variable cost per unit = $12

Fixed cost per unit = $10. i.e $22-$10

Production in units = 38,423

N.B. As in the above scenario, we will need to factor in the variable cost per unit only in order to determine whether it is convenient to make the part in house or purchase it. Also, we will have to ignore fixed costs because of the fact that it is constant in the option of whether to buy or make part in house.

Therefore,

Option at purchasing/Buying

= $38,423 × $15

= $576,345

Option at making the part in house

= $38,423 × $12

= $461,076

Cost difference is therefore = $115,269 decrease

Aleksandr [31]
<span>Ocean Tuna is massively overfished even though there is already an abundant supply. The reason for this is that it cost less to harvest the fish than it does to maintain a stock of the fish. This answer however, is still debated by some experts who argue that this method is not healthy for our oceans.</span>

Suppose a monopolist's costs and revenues are as follows: ATC = $50.00; MC = $35.00; MR = $45.00; P = $55.00. The firm should
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The firm should increase output and reduce price

Explanation:

For a monopolist, there can be one of the following three scenarios at a time point in time:

Scenario one, MR = MC: For a monopolist, profit is maximized at the point where marginal revenue (MR) is equal to to marginal cost (MC), i.e. where MR = MC.

Scenario two, MR < MC: But when the MR < MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a higher quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to reduce output until MR = MC.

Scenario three , MR > MC: But when the MR > MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a lower quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to increase output until MR = MC. Also, the monopolist has to reduce price in order to sell the increased quantity of output.

From the question, the monopolist falls into scenerio three as MR > MC, i.e. $45 > $35. Therefore, the monopolist should increase output until MR = MC and reduce price in order to maximize profit.
