Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Over applied Overhead =$ 42,500

Explanation:

Actual Overhead $325,000

Estimated Overhead $350,000

Over applied overhead is when the Predetermined overhead is more than the actual overhead . Under applied overhead is when the Predetermined overhead is less than the actual overhead .

Predetermined Overhead rate= Overhead / total direct labor hours

= 350,000/ 500,000 (100)= 70%

Applied Overhead = Predetermined Overhead rate( actual direct labor hours)

= 70 % (525,000) = $367,500

Applied Overhead $367,500

Less Actual Overhead $325,000

Over applied Overhead =$ 42,500

Honda Motor Company is considering offering a $ 1 comma 800 rebate on its minivan, lowering the vehicle's price from $ 29 comm

zvonat [6]

Answer:

The cost of the rebate is that Honda will sell more vehicles and lose on each additional vehicle sold.

Explanation:

The cost-benefit analysis is a systematic approach that involves finding the marginal costs and marginal benefits associated with a particular decision, and then compare the benefits against the costs to determine whether the decision should be pursued.

To determine the costs and benefits in terms of incremental profits;

Benefit = Profit of $5,090 per vehicle × 13,500 (53200 - 39700) additional vehicles sold = $68,715,000

The cost of the rebate is that Honda will make less on the vehicles it would have sold:

Cost = Loss of $1,800 per vehicle × 39,700 vehicles that would have sold without rebate = $71,460,000.

There, Benefit - Cost = $ (68,715,000 - 71,460,000) = - $2,745,000 and offering the rebate does not look attractive.

The rebate being offered is not a good idea as the cost outweighs the benefit.

When Tesla first launched their electric vehicles in the United States, they deviated from the norm in the automobile industry a

Damm [24]

Answer:

The choice of Tesla is known as Forward Integration.

According to the principles of Transaction Cost Economics, this is a good decision.

Explanation:

Companies sometimes take over the operations/businesses that deal with the distribution and supply of their products and or services. This move is known as forward integration.

Traditionally, companies focus on production then bring in middle-men such as Franchise owners, wholesales, dealers, and retailers to distribute their merhandise to the end user. Whilst there are associated benefits with this model, it's been found that the interests of the middle men also generate considerable costs.

In order to competitive advantage, companies are modifying their business models such that end users can deal directly with them thus reducing the final price of their goods and or services making them more accessible and easier to purchase for the consumers.

Transaction Cost Economics refers to the various ways in which an organisation can be set up in order to manage or control the costs associated with its transactions. The goal of transaction cost economics is to reduce overall costs in order to optimize profits, stay competitive and maintain growth by managing and modifying organisational structures and business models.

The most optimized organisational structure/business model is that which is able to attain the highest efficiency possible by operating at the lowest cost possible.

Good or Bad Decision

The market for motor vehicles is an oligopoly.

Therefore, price is an important factor to consider. As a more recent entrant into that space, this is very crucial for Tesla.

Tesla is not only entering into a market dominated by giants, but is also tryin to modify the way people know to drive cars (at least in most parts of the world). Therefore, it is a great move that it is going with a Price Penetration Strategy. Thus by cutting off the Franchise-Oriented dealerships and selling directly, Tesla is able to retain control over the price of it's vehicles.

The whole essence of reducing it's costs is so that it is able to make its products available to the consumers as an alternative to fossile fuel powered vehicles at the lowest cost possible. Despite it's best efforts, there are still petrol powered cars that are at least $10,000 cheaper that what Tesla is offering.

Besides price, one major factor that influences the choice to go with hybrid or 100% of electric cars is that they are clean and very environmental friendly.

Cheers!
