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

andriy [413]

Answer:

c. the analysis of receivables method.

Explanation:

In accounting for uncollectible receivables, the balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will directly impact the amount of the adjustment when applying the analysis of receivables method.

The uncollectible account for receivables includes loans, credit sales or other debts that the business isn't expecting payment for and they are recorded as bad debt expense on the balance sheet.

The allowance for doubtful account method is used to account for the bad debt expense, and recorded before the bad debt occurs.

Basically, there are two (2) main methods of determining uncollectible accounts for receivables under the allowance method, these are;

1. The analysis of receivables method.

2. The percentage of sales method.

In this scenario, we are more concerned with this;

The analysis of receivables method is used to determine uncollectible account for receivables based on the age of respective accounts receivable.

Lamar has just gotten a new job and is attending a company party where he will meet his colleagues for the first time. His boss
a_sh-v [17]

Lamar's experience demonstrates retroactive interference.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

When a person tries to recall some information that are older in nature and comes to know about some recent information it refers to Retroactive interference. For instance you may call the name of your grandmother with the name of your mom. There will be a retroactive interference with the two names.

This happens when you forget some tasks that are learnt in past because of the learning of new tasks. In the given example, Lamar only rememnbers the names of the people in the first group and remebers the profession of the last women met by him. His experience demonstrates retroactive interference.
