Hot Dog Express (HDE) is currently buying its buns from Buns-For-All for $0.50 per dozen. Each month, it purchases 14,000 dozen

buns. HDE is considering making its own buns for cost-cutting and quality reasons. It has determined the following costs:
materials, $0.20;
direct labor, $0.10;
variable factory overhead cost, $0.04; and total (existing) fixed costs, $3,000 per month.
Required:
A) From an accounting point of view only, should HDE make or buy its buns?

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

Suppose that the inverse demand equation is p​ = 100 minus 2Q and the supply equation is p​ = 2Q. If the price is controlled at
Irina18 [472]

Answer: P =$50

Q= 25

Explanation: P= 100-2Q

P= 2Q

To get the quantity supplied Q, we have to educate both equations

100-2Q=2Q, 100=2Q+2Q

100=4Q, Q=100/4 , Q=25

To get the equilibrium price we have to substitute the value of Q which is 25 into any of the equation.

Using equation 1

P=100-2Q, P=100-2(25)

P=100-50, P=$50.

If the price is controlled at $60, then the production pays the producer this is because a commodity is not expected to be sold at the equilibrium price, price flooring is a way that government or a group control the market price of a commodity or produce by imposing a particular price on it. This is to ensure that the producers are not at loss with their production, a price floor is always higher than the equilibrium price to be effective as seen in the example given above, price floor is $60 while equilibrium price is $50.

An example of a price floor for services can be seen in the minimum wage stated by the government this is to ensure that people's services are not misused anyhow.

Price flooring most times can lead to surplus quantity produced if consumers are not willing to pay the price, because the producer will be wiling to produce more in order to make more profit.

Joint products A and B emerge from common processing that costs $116,000 and yields 4,000 units of Product A and 2,800 units of
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800

Explanation:

<em>Joint costs are the costs incurred up until the split-off where two or more products result from the same production process. These  common costs need to be apportioned among the joint products using any of the following basis:</em>

  1. physical units
  2. Relative sales value basis.

The relative value basis apportions joint costs using the proportion of product individual sales value to the the total sales value.

Total sales value = (280×4,000) + (100×2,800) =1400000

Apportioned joint cost to A =(1,120,000/1,400,000)× 116,000=92800

Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800
