xed costs related to making this part are $75,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $62,000 per year. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys the part. Gilberto is considering buying the part from a supplier for a quoted price of $3.25 per unit guaranteed for a three-year period. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 65,000 units. Incremental Costs to Make Relevant Relevant Total Amount per Fixed Costs Relevant Costs Unit Variable cost per unit $65,000.00 126,750 Fixed manufacturing costs Allocated fixed costs Total incremental cost to make 126,750

Answer:

Explanation:

                  cost of making in-house

Variable cost  = 1.95 * 65,000 = 126,750

Related fixed cost =                      75,000

Unavoidable fixed cost=               62,000

Total cost of manufacturing =      263,750.

                         cost of buying

Unit cost = 3.25*65,000 =            211,250

Unavoidable fixed cost =               62,000

Total cost of buying =                     273,250   .

Cost of buying is higher than the cost of making  

Incremental cost  buying = 273,250-263,250 = 9,500    

<u>Recommendation</u>        

Gilberto should manufacture in - house instead of buying.

Masteriza [31]

Answer: Joint training

         

Explanation: In simple words, joint training refers to the process in which an organisation or an entity tries to persuade and influence the behavior of their staff by making teaching them any specific kind of technical skill.

    Such kinds of training are very common in defense forces such as military and police force, where team work and relative trust is of high importance. But these kinds of training are also used by other organizations in cases where the number of candidates is large and it is not possible to train each of them individually.

If the company is using the payback period method and it requires a payback of three years or less, which project(s) should be s
algol [13]

Answer: Project X

Explanation:

The Payback period is the amount of time it would take for the cash inflows accruing from an investment to payoff the cost of the investment.

Project X has a constant cashflow of $24,000 for 3 years and a cost of $68,000 for the Payback period is;

= 68,000/24,000

= 2.83 years

Project Y has an uneven cash flow with a cost of $60,000. Payback is calculated as;

= Year before payback + Amount left to be paid/cashflow in year of payback

Year before payback = 4,000 + 26,000 + 26,000

= $56,000

This means that the third year is the year before payback.

60,000 - 56,000 = $4,000

Payback period = 3 + 4,000/20,000

= 3.2 years

Based on a Payback period of 3 years, only Project X should be chosen as it pays back in less than 3 years.

Monopolistic competition resembles pure competition because:
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is a type of imperfect competition such that many producers sell products that are differentiated from one another as goods but not perfect substitutes (such as from branding, quality, or location). In monopolistic competition, a firm takes the prices charged by its rivals as given and ignores the impact of its own prices on the prices of other firms.

Monopolistic competitive markets:

have products that are highly differentiated, meaning that there is a perception that the goods are different for reasons other than price;

have many firms providing the good or service;

firms can freely enter and exits in the long-run;

firms can make decisions independently;

there is some degree of market power, meaning producers have some control over price; and

buyers and sellers have imperfect information.

A producer of fixed proportion goods X and Y (Q = Qx = Qy) has marginal costs and revenues of MC = 10 Q, MRX = 150 - 6 QX, MRy =
sammy [17]

Answer:

a. Qx =9, Qy=9

Explanation:

As per the given data

Q = QX = QY

MRX = 150 - 6QX = 150 - 6Q

MRY = 30 - 4QY = 30 - 4Q

MC = 10Q

Now calculate the Marginal revenue as follow

MR = MRX + MRY

MR = 150 - 6Q + 30 - 4Q

MR = 150 + 30 - 6Q - 4Q

MR = 180 - 10Q

The Equilibrium of the producer will be

MR = MC

180 - 10Q = 10Q

180 = 10Q + 10Q

180 = 20Q

Q = 180 / 20

Q = 9

As we know

Q = Qx = QY

Hence, the value of Qx  and QY is 9
