Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a) The In-house purchasing cost last year is
= Fixed costs + Variable costs
=$85,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $85,000 + 1400 × 15
= $106,000
b)
The outsourcing cost is
Outsourcing cost = Fixed costs +Variable costs
= $100,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $100,000 + 1400 × 5
= $107,000
c) Total number of purchase orders = 1600
In-house purchasing cost = 85,000 + 1600 × $15 = $109000
Outsourcing cost = $100,000 + 1600 × $5 = $108000
Yes, David should outsource as the outsourcing cost is less than the in-house purchasing cost.
C. An increase in the price of piano parts(raw materials). Makes the firm purchase less raw materials(piano parts) to manufacture less finished goods(pianos) therefore less products(pianos) will be supplied.
Answer:
B. $228,122.
Explanation:
Number of quarters = 3 * 4 = 12
Quarterly interest rate = 12%/4 = 3%
From the table, the correct discounting factor for the future value (FV) = 1.42576
We then have:
FV = $160,000 * 1.42576 = $228,122
Therefore, the maturity value of the CD is $228,122.
To achieve the social optimum, the government could set a tax equal to $6 per unit sold.

Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Amount of which adjusting entry required:
= Amount of uncollectible accounts - Balance in Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= (Balance in accounts receivable × Estimated percentage of accounts receivable to be uncollectible) - Balance in Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= ($200,000 × 4%) - $2,000
= $8,000 - $2,000
= $6,000
Therefore, the adjusting entry is as follows:
Bad debt expense A/c Dr. $6,000
To Allowance for uncollectible accounts $6,000
(To record the bad debt expense)
