Curly Inc. is considering whether to continue to make a component or to buy it from an outside supplier. The company uses 16,000

of the components each year. The unit product cost of the component according to the company's cost accounting system is given as follows: Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Of the fixed manufacturing overhead, 30% is avoidable if the component were bought from the outside supplier. In addition, making the component uses 1 minute on the machine that is the company's current constraint. If the component were bought, this machine time would be freed up for use on another product that requires 2 minutes on the constraining machine and that has a contribution margin of $8.10 per unit. When deciding whether to make or buy the component, what is the maximum price the company would pay if it decides to buy?

Answer:

the maximum price the company can pay for the component is $24.65

Explanation:

  • direct materials: $8.10 per unit
  • direct labor: $6.40 per unit
  • variable manufacturing overhead: $1.70 per unit
  • fixed manufacturing overhead: $4.40 per unit
  • total variable costs: $20.60 per unit

Current total manufacturing costs for 16,000 units = $20.60 x 16,000 units = $329,600

if the component is bought, 30% of fixed costs can be avoided = $4.40 x 16,000 x 30% = $21,120 or $1.32

or the machine can be used to manufacture another product that has a contribution margin of $8.10 per unit and a total production of 8,000 units = $8.10 x 8,000 = $64,800 or $4.05 per unit

by purchasing the component from a vendor, the company will save either $1.32 or $4.05 per unit

therefore the company should purchase the component if its maximum price is = $20.60 + $4.05 =  $24.65

evablogger [386]

Answer:

False since the intent of corporate advertising is usually done to ensure that the perception of the company's image is positive.

Explanation:

Corporate advertising is usually done to ensure that the perception of the company's image is positive. The products under the corporation is not a priority in this case, rather its is the company as a whole that needs to be viewed in good light.

This kind of advertising forms part of the public relations techniques used by the company or institution to improve its public image. There are so many companies with different brands under them that utilize this advertising technique to improve their standing in the public eye. It is a way of making the company itself to be a brand by advertising the company as a package.

These companies always want to prove that they care more about the public than they care for the products, in this way they create the perception that the company is primary and anything else is secondary.

Cooperate advertising is majorly used in companies whose business activities have a negative effect to the public. Cooperation that engage in mining activities or activities that affect the environment are likely to utilize this form of advertising.

Readme [11.4K]

The computation is shown below;

But before that the depreciation expense per year is

Depreciation per year = (Cost - Residual value) ÷ Useful life

= ($38,080 - $2,800) ÷ 6 years

= $5,880

1.Net book value as on disposal date is

= $38,080 - ($5,880  × 3)

= $20,440

2.

We know that

Gain on sales = (Sales - Book value)

Gain = $(20,400 - 20,400) = 0

a. Loss = $13,000 - $20,440 = -$7,440

b. Loss = $10,000 - $20,440 = -$10,440
