A firm plans to begin production of a new small appliance. the manager must decide whether to purchase the motors for the applia

nce from a vendor at $10 each or to produce them in-house. either of two processes could be used for in-house production; process a would have an annual fixed cost of $175,000 and a variable cost of $5 per unit, and process b would have an annual fixed cost of $190,000 and a variable cost of $4 per unit. determine the range of annual volume for which each of the alternatives would for annual volumes of or less, is best. for annual volumes at or above that amount, it is best to produce in house at a variable cost of $ per unit. rev: 02_09_2017_qc_cs-78259

For amounts over 35,000 units, in house option A is cheaper.

Find the break even quantity (aka make the equations equal) of the outside vendor compared to each in-house option.

Vendor vs in house option A:

10x = 175,000 + 5x  (subtract 5x from both sides)

5x = 175,000 (divide by 5)

x = 35,000 units

vendor is cheaper than option A up to 35,000 units

Vendor vs. in-house option B

10x = 190,000 + 4x (subtract 4x from both sides)

6x = 190,000 (divide by 6)

x = 31,667 (rounded to nearest unit)

vendor is cheaper than option B up to 31,667 units

the money supply represents the amount of money the federal reserve bank makes available for people to buy goods and services. q
arsen [322]

The main source of income for the Federal Reserve System is interested in US government assets that the Federal Reserve has purchased through open market activities.

<h3>What determines the supply of money?</h3>

The Central Bank controls the money supply through its "monetary policy," and the economy must function with that predetermined amount of money. The money supply is seen as entirely vertical because the economy has no bearing on its amount (on models).

By increasing or decreasing the monetary base, the Fed can regulate the amount of money in circulation. The amount of money in circulation plus the deposits that depository institutions have with the Federal Reserve make up the monetary base, which is correlated with the size of the Fed's balance sheet.

Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% a
Sonja [21]

Answer:

D) CM per unit: Increases

CM ratio: No change

BE in units: Decreases

Explanation:

Let us suppose that

In the first case

The selling price per unit is $100

And, the variable cost per unit is $50

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $100 - $50

= $50

The CM ratio is

= $50 ÷ $100

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $50

= 2,000 units

Now if the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10%

So,

The selling price per unit is $100 × 1.10 = $110

And, the variable cost per unit is $50 × 1.10 = $55

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $110 - $55

= $55

The CM ratio is

= $55 ÷ $110

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $55

= 1,818 units

Hence, the last option is correct

The common stock of Detroit Engines has a beta of 1.34 and a standard deviation of 11.4 percent. The market rate of return is 11
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The firm's cost of equity is C. 14.05 percent

Explanation:

Hi, we need to use the following formula in order to find the cost of equity of this firm.

r(e)=rf+beta(rm-rf)

Where:

r(e) = Cost of equity

rf = risk free rate

rm = Market rate of return

Everything should look like this.

r(e)=0.04+1.34(0.115-0.04)=0.1405

So, this firm´s cost of equity is 14.05%

Best of luck

A marketing manager targeting Generation Y should be aware that this group is turned off by:A) the "soft sell".B) overt branding
AysviL [449]

Answer:

B) overt branding practices

Explanation:

Generation Y is the group of people who were born between 1990s to early 2000s. Probably most commonly known as millennials.

Statistics shown that when it come to choosing a product, millennial tend to choose the individuals that they can trust/admire rather than overt branding practices. This is why online influencers market is really booming among this demographic.

On top of that ., They value the type of  advertisement that can objectively define the negative and positive characteristics of a certain product rather than advertising it as if it's 'the best product ever' like commonly done by most companies in the past.

You are a newspaper publisher. You are in the middle of a one-year rental contract for your factory that requires you to pay $50
Anettt [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Fixed cost is

= $500,000 + $1,000,000

= $1,500,000

And, the marginal cost is

= $0.25 + $0.10

= $0.35 per paer

Now

as we know that

AFC = FC ÷ Q

Now for At 1,000,000 papers,

AFC is

= 1,500,000 ÷ 1,000,000

= $1.50/mo

At 800,000 , it would be

AFC = 1,500,000 ÷ 800,000

= $1.875/mo

MC = $0.35 per paper  and the same is not changed

Now for break even, the average total cost is

ATC = AFC + AVC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + VC ÷ Q

VC = MC × Q

ATC = FC ÷ Q + MC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + 0.35

At Q = 1,000,000,

ATC = 1.50 + 0.35

ATC = $1.85

At Q = 800,000 , it would be

ATC = 1.875 + 0.35

=  $2.225

As it can be seen that

The AFC changes from 1.50 to 1.875 which shows an increment of 0.375.

The MC remains constant or same  at 0.35 as the printing and delivery costs per paper are remain same

And, The minimum amount that we must charge to break even rises i.e. from 1.85 to 2.225. That is a rise of 0.375
