E25-18 Making outsourcing decisions Cool Systems manufactures an optical switch that it uses in its final product. The switch ha
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

From a cost savings perspective the switch should be made in-house

Explanation:

In deciding whether Cool Systems should make or buy the switch , we calculate the relevant applicable to  both situations,then compare t see which option saves costs.

The cost of making the switch is calculated thus:

Direct materials per unit      $5

Direct labor                           $3

Variable overhead                <u>$6</u>

Total relevant cost               <u> $14</u>    

The cost of purchasing the switch from another supplier is $15

From the above analysis, it is preferable to make the switch in-house as that option saves $1($15-$14) per switch.

However, it might be that we need to look beyond cost savings sometimes,purchasing the switch from another supplier might be viable if the quality of the outside switch is better or that the outside supplier can deliver in timely fashion.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

ERIC: Hi, Hubert. This is my first economics course, and many of the concepts discussed in class are really confusing. Today the professor explained that the true cost of going to college includes both the tuition I pay as well as something called the "opportunity cost" of going to college. I don't understand. I pay $32,000 per year in tuition. The tuition is what I pay to the school, so it seems like that should be my true cost!

HUBERT: Hi, Eric. Many concepts in economics can be confusing at first. Let's talk it through.

Economists think of costs a bit differently than just the dollar amount that you pay. To an economist, the true cost of college includes the total value of what you give up in order to acquire your college education. In other words, not only did you give up the tuition money that you paid, but by attending college, you gave up opportunities to do other things with your time as well. This is where the idea of opportunity cost comes from.

The opportunity cost of your decision to go to college is the value of the next best alternative that you gave up. Suppose that your next best alternative to college is to work as a cashier. By not going to college, and taking this job, you could earn $16,000 per year. Then your opportunity cost of college is <u>$16,000</u>, and your total cost of a year of college is <u>$48,000</u> per year.

ERIC: I think I get it now. So when I take into account the opportunity cost of college, the true cost is actually <u>more </u>than just the tuition.

HUBERT: Correct. Thinking about costs in this way will help you make more rational decisions in your everyday life. Now tell me, how can you explain your decision to go to college?

ERIC: I chose to go to college because, for me, the value of a year in college <u>gives me a higher stand and offers me a better long-term opportunity that someone without a college degree.</u>

Explanation:

The question poses a discussion about the opportunity cost of attending college. The understanding behind this is that by choosing to go to college, Eric is forfeiting the opportunity to get a job as a cashier that would earn him $16,000 a year while incurring his college fees of $32,000. Therefore, the total cost of attending college to him should be $48,000.

Altoid Company sold most of its inventory produced during the period. The manager needs to close the $1,200 balance of Manufactu
Likurg_2 [28]

Explanation:

The journal entry to close the books is

Cost of Goods sold A/c Dr $1,200

       To Manufacturing Overhead A/c $1,200

(Being the under-applied overhead is recorded)

Since the jobs were undercosted, that means the overhead is applied under overhead so we debited the cost of goods sold account and credited the manufacturing overhead account. Both the items are recorded for $1,200

What is the correct statement about regressive taxation?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

B. The sales tax you pay when you fill your car up with gas is regress

Explanation:

Gasoline tax is regressive because everyone regardless of their income level pay the same amount of tax per gallon of gas purchased. A progressive tax means that people that have higher incomes will pay a higher tax rate, for example, federal income taxes. Every flat tax (same percentage for everyone) is regressive.
