Answer:

Cost of Make = $2,240

Explanation:

The computation of Saving in Cost by Make or buy is shown below:-

                                               Make           Buy

Material                                   $2,800

($0.20 × 14,000 Buns)  

Direct Labor                          $1,400

($0.10 × 14,000 Buns)

Variable Factory Overhead $560

($0.04 × 14,000 Buns)

Purchase Cost of Buns                         $7,000

(14,000 × $ 0.50)

Total Cost                             $4,760      $7,000

Therefore the Saving in Cost by Make = $7,000 - $4,760

= $2,240

5-7 Short Run versus Long Run A firm sells 1,000 units per week. It charges $70 per unit, the average variable costs are $25, an
irina1246 [14]

<u>a. The firm should carry out the activities. </u>

<u>b.The firm should carry out activities until it is covering the cost. </u>

<u>c. The firm should shut down business activities when the price of the product goes below $25 in short-run. </u>

<u>d. The firm should shut down business activities when the price of the product goes below $65 in long-run. </u>

Further Explanation:

a  

Steps taken by the firm in the long run:

The sales price of the product is $70. The total average cost of the product is $65. The firm can cover all its costs (variable and fixed) and generating a profit of $5. So it should continue to carry out its business operations in the short run.  

b.

Steps taken by the firm in the long run:

In the long run, all the costs of the firm are variable. In the current case, the fixed cost is around 60% of the total cost. So the firm should attempt to decrease this cost. If the firm can decrease the total cost, it should carry out the business activities. The firm can continue to carry out the operational activities until it is making the profit and covering all the product cost.

c.

The appropriate price for shutting down the business in the short-run:

The firm can shut down the business in the short-run when the price of the product is below $25.

In the short run, the firm can only control the variable cost. The firm can not control the fixed cost of the product. In the given case, the variable cost of the product is $25. Therefore, the firm should shut down the business when the price of the product goes below the variable cost ($25).

d.

The appropriate price for shutting down the business in the long-run:

The firm can shut down the business in the long-run when the price of the product is below $65.

In the long run, the firm can influence all the costs of the business. It can influence the variable cost and the fixed cost of the business. Therefore, it should cover the total cost of the product. Thus, the firm should shut down the business when the price of the product goes below the total cost ($65).

liberstina [14]

Answer:

$863,689.50

Explanation:

The computation of the present value of the terminal value is shown below:

The terminal value at the end of the third year is

=  Third year Cash flows × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)

= $64,000 × (1 + 2%) ÷ (8% - 2%)

= $1,088,000

Now its present value is

= terminal value at the end of the third year ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= $1,088,000 ÷ (1 + 8%)^3

= $863,689.50

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
